For: Handmade bags from recycled canvas. RICO’s signature wine tote sold like CRAZY at the Cool Friends market. So fast that we had to preorder ours!
For: New York’s greatest biscuits. Connay & Tembe continue to impress with their flavors. Sunday’s Only might have had the most fans come out to visit them at the event and we absolutely LOVED it!
For: the chicest and sweetest live portraits. Rebecca has worked events for brands including Tiffany and Birkenstock so we were absolutely over the moon when she was able to come by and draw so many of you cuties!
For: colorfully curated vintaged and secondhand clothing. Juliana’s eye is unmamtched, and in case you missed it at the event, you can shop an edit of her selections all the time at Nose Best Candles (also in Bushwick!)
For: usable ceramics with personality! We bought a vase from Sarah years ago that is one of the most asked about items in our home, and it was amazing to see so many of you fall in love with her work too!
For: Absolutely gorgeous arrangements sourced as locally as possible. Migle has such a clear and singular vision when she creates a bouquet, that it feels like we should really be referring to them as sculptures.
For: Brooklyn-based activewear that is chic as hell. We were so excited for you all to see Hikerkind IRL because the materials they use are absolutely top-tier and made in NYC.
For: thoughtfully roasted / thoroughly delicious coffee. Alero is just about 1 year into roasting and we keep wanting to spread the word of how amazing their coffee is!
For: locally made, upcycled accessories: from collars to jewlerly to sandals. Oh, and on that note, we especially love the Scrappy Sandals: made in Queens out of upcycled uppers!
