jack&marjorie use military surplus materials such as wool blankets, ground sheets, parachutes and webbing, then combine them with more feminine elements including vintage lace, silk, brocade and buttons to create unique yet functional handbags and accessories. In the Quince Clutch, they use tent canvas and vegetable tanned leather and accent the two fabrics elegantly with pin-tuck detailing and vintage buttons. This zippered puch is lined with organic cotton twill and is made in Canada. Make sure to match your new clutch with a jack&marjorie Enoki Wallet. So charming. 
Whether you’re thinking Jackie O. or Michelle O., the classic cut and styling of the Grace & Cello Poet Dress is undeniable. The beauty of a true classic is both versatility and durability, and this little sleeveless number has got both. Organic cotton twill shell with silk lining, you can wear this knee length shift to the office, a 5-star restaurant, wedding, funeral, bar mitzvah, bris, poker game, polo match, fashion show, farmer’s market, cocktail hour, choir practice, Vegas, Virgin Islands, Venice-you get me. All Grace & Cello garments are lovingly made in a Canadian design studio. The Poet Dress was $174, and is now marked down to only $87. Sizes are going fast, so if you want it, get it! Also highly recommended is their emerald green racer back camisole, so elegant and only $49.
This organic cotton hand-stitched tie is Made In The USA by the innovators at Crow Clothing. The assymetrical point definitely gives you a “too hip to be square” kind of feeling. Men can feel right and tight in the black or clay version of this sustainable menswear basic. Did your mother ever tell you that whatever men can do, a woman can do it better? Well, that might just apply when it comes to this tie, because what could be hotter than a stunning woman in a white button-up, tie, and sweater vest tucked into some high-waisted dark denim jeans with a skinny belt? Am I projecting here? Fall’s coming up ladies and gentlemen, so get this autumnal accessory while it’s on sale for only $32!
