i’ve been on the hunt for both clothes and housewares/home decor ever since the new year and have hardly found anything i’ve been looking for (with the exception of some new candles featured above) but i always come across so many things i want to bookmark for later. i thought it might be nice to do a little monthly edit of the neat products i come across. all from socially conscious or handmade shops of course. click the links above to check out each shop!

Brands to check out on Curatorprints.com

August 25, 2015 by Angela

I love discovering new brands and websites via Instagram. Especially when I come across a gem like Curator Prints. This online shop features a curated collection of indie beauty, home, and fashion brands like Stop The Water While Using Me and Herbivore Botanicals. Not to mention that any shop selling Brooklyn Candle Studio has my heart. Curator Prints has minimal, modern product shots and their Instagram is a blend of New York lifestyle shots and killer flatlays, so they’ll appeal to your wander lusting design-aesthetic too. Always, always good.

Favorite handmade gift ideas on Brika

July 13, 2015 by Angela

Though I’ve bought everything from handmade beauty products to wall art to supplies on Etsy, I haven’t ventured too far into other handmade marketplaces online. Brika always pops up in my searches though. There are many of the same sellers there as on Etsy, though Brika is quite a lot more exclusive, with an application process and a special spot just for highlighting makers. Each designer gets essentially an about page about their shop, rather than a profile. I haven’t bought anything from this site yet, even though it’s been around for long enough that I probably should’ve by now. Lately, I’ve found more and more shops to bookmark for my style or space or to give as gifts.

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

Each of these 9 shops have a little somethin’ of note. I’ve noticed a lot of candles and soaps on Brika and I never get enough of relaxing / refreshing scents and a little pampering so you can see I keep returning to these types of makers. Doesn’t Woodlot take the best photos? I also recently purchased one of those dishes from Redraven Studios at a boutique here in Los Angeles, to use for little misc things in my studio. I am so in love with the Redraven tabletop that I couldn’t help but get a little slice of the collection. Are you a shopper or maker on Brika?
