BAGGU

BAGGU is founded by a small team of designers, and entrepreneurs. The principle is simple: to create basic, functional, beautiful and affordable products.

BAGGU (バッグ “bag" in Japanese) is machine washable, and folds up into its own pouch small enough to tuck into your handbag or pocket.

Based on the form of the iconic plastic grocery bag, a BAGGU does the same job without harming the environment. Because reusable bags only reduce waste when you use them, BAGGU is made lightweight, so it’s easy to keep with you for an unexpected errand, and so beautiful you’ll actually want to carry it. Using one BAGGU for one year replaces 300 to 700 disposable bags.

Changing our own shopping habits is one small thing we can do to make a difference. Be Good and Reuse!

Bunny loves green

This is more than just a cute bunny. If you open the zipper on its back, you will find a durable nylon bag inside. This stuffed bunny bag is called “Picnic”. It was created by a Japanese design house, EDING:POST. When you need a tote bag, the rabbit hangs on for the ride. When you don’t need a bag, it neatly stores inside the rabbit. It is great for everyday usage or picnic. Remember to pack some carrots too!!

crave jewelry design

Crave Jewelry Design was created after many unsuccessful and seemingly endless searches for unique jewelry in a world of mass produced goods. Crave is now my livelihood… so please; indulge!

Here is a little bit about me…

I have an obsession for making someone’s day a little brighter.

I am completely obsessed with making jewelry! Hours go by like seconds…

I love, love, love nature and all, well most things, natural.

I am completely captivated by little creatures, awesome vintage pieces and just about anything that has the potential to be jewelry.

Thanks for checking out my jewelry and for the opportunity to share what I crave with you!!

Next Big Thing 2008 – Loverly Ink

 

At 20 years old, Loverly Ink’s Lindsay Harvey is the youngest finalist of this year’s NEXT BIG THING! Her parents named her after Lindsay Wagner, the bionic woman, so “super” kinda just comes naturally to her… She sews, crafts, photographs, prints, works a lab coat like nobody’s business and her sawsome pouch rocks the new cut of cute! Read on to learn more.

You started Loverly Ink last year in college, yeah?
Yes, I began about a year ago from my college dorm room at UCLA making and selling bags, pouches, and whatever else I came up with. I opened a shop on Etsy and after I listed my first item, it was gone. I thought I had made a mistake, but in fact someone had bought it, so I thought I had something there.

What’s the best customer feedback you’ve ever received?
I once had someone send me a picture of themselves in a dress they had bought from me. It was like a super 80’s dress, complete with poofness and massive bows, that I had found at a vintage store and fixed/revamped. Secretly, I somewhat regret not keeping it for myself.

What inspired you to make the sawsome pouch?
I was inspired to make it because I was going through this industrial phase where I was at Home Depot way too much and was drawing screws and saws all over my notebooks. And so when I needed a new bag design, it was right there waiting for me.

Do you have any particular goals this year with Loverly Ink?
Gosh, I want to do so much, there’s just no time! I think it just comes down to making as many things as I possibly can. I’m a one woman show, so doing this takes quite a while. I’d love to continue making all sorts of fun little items and create a brand out of Loverly Ink. I’m also really interested in textile design and printing, so I would love to include making more of my own fabric, which would be totally awesome. I always have something going on in my head, it’s just a matter of time before something jumps out.

Last question… Are you good with tools? Ha ha!
Sure, I guess. I think I just like to pretend that I can actually use those big, manly power tools, but I eventually just end up hurting myself and yell for my boyfriend to finish whatever it was that I was making while I go find the first aid kit. Band-aids are my best friends. Also antiseptic. I think that there will always be a special place in my heart for power tools, but I definitely prefer felt pouch versions that won’t take up so much room in my bag.
