While in LA recently, I caught up with my friend Sadiero of Stitch And Made. Ever since I've known him (for quite some time now), he's had an entrepreneurial spirit, a keen sense of style and the patience and know-how to sew well. In 2013 he started Stitch And Made, a handcrafted handbag company that specializes in turning repurposed denim, leather jackets and other previously owned materials into fashion custom bags. A while back he gave me a clutch made from an vintage leather jacket as a gift. Utilizing industrial-strength zippers, accent colors and his signature clip, he created a sturdy and functional handbag that complements my entire wardrobe. I've since purchased the Small Dopp Gadget Bag for Alex. It is custom lined with water resistant fabric so it's perfect for his toiletries and he just loves it.
Take a look at the Stitch And Made bags Alex and I own and find out how you can win one of your very own below:

When I was first introduced to California based Tiny Atlas Quarterly, a lifestyle and travel online magazine, I spent hours happily lost in its virtual pages. The beautiful photographs pulled me in and made me want to know more about each story depicted. I'm happy to announce that Tiny Atlas Quarterly's Printed Annual is now available! Being an avid magazine collector, you can only image how pleased I will be to hold these amazing images in my hands and atop our coffee table. I just ordered my copy but you can win your very own by checking out the magazine here and commenting below.
