the noir oil tanned leather has a smooth matte finish with a slight waxy hand and comes from a beloved tannery in the maker's home state, minnesota. this luxurious black leather pairs perfectly with the antique hardware purchased at a brocante in L'Isle Sur La Sorgue. the strap is adjustable and can also be taken off entirely, allowing for the handbag to have a second silhouette.

this unique handbag was inspired by a summer in the south of France, in the constant sun where the region values both style and functionality. these designs should transition through every life situation- from a bustling market to a quiet date night to wandering through a museum.

angela davis: an autobiography: originally published in 1974 and written when angela davis was 25, this is a fine telling of the situations and struggle of the 60s and 70s. often misunderstood, angela did not want to write a 'personal' autobiography and thus was reluctant to do a book like this in the first place. she didn't see herself as that different from the lives of the millions of struggling people that she and her efforts sought to better. every facet of her own life that she chose to share with us here is tied in some way to that struggle to bring dignity to the masses of human beings exploited throughout the world. what you walk away with after reading this book is how much she really does care about the lives of people. it's not just a bunch of abstract ideas, neat theories, or some trivial intellectual exercise. it really is life and death issues. and she fought for the lives of many as if she would fight for her own.

“[a] gorgeous anthology of fashion images … leibovitz is nothing less than america’s greatest living photographic portraitist … she has changed fashion photography forever.”  – anna wintour

legendary photographer annie leibovitz’s surprising account of her encounters with fashion over five decades

‘looking back at my work, i see that fashion has always been there,’ annie leibovitz observes in the preface to wonderland. ‘fashion plays a part in the scheme of everything, but photography always comes first for me. the photograph is the most important part.  and photography is so big that it can encompass journalism, portraiture, reportage, family photographs, fashion ... my work for vogue fueled the fire for a kind of photography that i might not otherwise have explored.’ 

includes 350 extraordinary images (many of them previously unpublished) featuring a wide and diverse range of subjects: nicole kidman, serena williams, pina bausch, rupaul, cate blanchett, lady gaga, matthew barney, kate moss, natalia vodianova, rihanna, chimamanda ngozi adichie, karl lagerfeld, nancy pelosi. foreword by anna wintour.
