clare vivier, who single handedly closed the book on over-logo’d “it” bags (really, a public service,) by creating the chicest, simplest, most functional, pleasingly colorful (or not) clutch/bag/tote varieties and kathryn bentley who, in short, designs the kind of jewelry i want to wear everyday,  just opened a store/studio together!  and that ain’t all: beatrice valenzuela‘s awesome handmade leather  sandals and slip-ons, heather levine ceramics and a rotating selection of artwork from taylor cordoba gallery. welcome to the pleasure dome. almost too much joy. everywhere inside, it’s local talent, luxe-deluxe in organic simplicity. and how about that painted rug???

to no one in particular (you know who you are,) and for no immediate occasion i can think of, i’ll just say:  one of every thing, in every color, please. and thank you!
