Trend Report: Grey

A bold counterpoint to seasons of bold jewel tones, cool grey dominates this spring's accessory palette.  While this moody hue pairs well with the understated colors of spring apparel, it also provides a striking contrast to any bright ensemble.  But with accents such as braids, contrast stitching, and studs, this steely color is far from boring.

Sabina's Glazed Leather Seam and Pleat Bag ($198) has a flirty, feminine style.  The east-west design ensures that you'll never have to dig for your keys, while the unusual seams make this a truly original piece.

The bold braid on this Grey Trenza Bag ($398) from Monserat De Lucca hides two substantial outside pockets.  A detachable messenger strap heightens the versatility of this exceptionally pretty, ultra-smooshy leather bag.

Employee favorite 49 Sq. Miles does it again with their updated Big Mouth Hobo ($648).  The supple Italian lambskin has the most luxurious feel.  Punchy pink contrast stitching adds an element of fun. Loads of pockets allow for extreme organization.  Honestly, we can't praise this handbag enough!

All styles are available at our Chicago location.  Call (773) 486-3800 for more details.

New Arrival: Shashi


Having embraced the bracelet trend for a few seasons now, we’re ever on the lookout for new takes on the accessory. While we adore the look of leather bands and wrap bracelets, we welcome the ingenuity of new designer Shashi. Adorned with studs, crystals, and beads, these stunners are sure to be an exciting update to your arm candy collection.



Gleaming crystals accent simple cord to make a slightly dressy look. Wear this Grey Single Row Bracelet ($72) during the daytime for a fun splash of sparkle or at night as a glitzy accent piece.

Layer one or more with your existing bracelets for a funkier look. We’ve paired the Shashi Dark Green Petit Nuggets Bracelet ($32) with an Elma Blint Brown Leather Wrap Bracelet ($88). In a bevy colors and at an affordable price, the nugget bracelets are easy additions to any girl's daytime look.

A little bit punk, but not at all over the top, this Rocker Stud Bracelet ($92) is the perfect combination of edgy and eclectic. Don this piece with architectural tops for a nod to the 80s or try it with a gauzy dress for an unexpected contrast.


Find these styles and more in our Chicago store. Call (773) 486-3800 for more details.
