Shopping Break | My Valentine Bags

designbreak — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:23:12 +0000

I’m starting to think that if we don’t really celebrate Christmas around here, maybe I should adopt this Valentine’s Day theme… I mean, buying yourself or your loved ones something small or big is not really the issue here, even the smalest gesture will count, however buying me a bag, from this little wishlist I asmbled here won’t do any harm ;)
Oh, in case you’re wondering, there is a good reason for each bag on my list:
1. Adele Tote for the love of stripes
2. Envelope Clutch for learning to size down my ginormous bags
3. Foldover In Green for my never ending green crush
4. Richmond Market Bag for stylish grocery shopping

UnaUna | The Bus Driver In Me

Leather bags… It seems like it’s all I can see around me these days… Does this mean that I have to get it done already and buy one?
The obvious answer is yes but… I think I should wait for a while cause Almog Weiss and Mira Gafni, the ladies behind UnaUna, one of my ultimate fav shoe designers decided to start experimenting with designing bags… Their bags are made traditionally with raw leathers that makes it all look like the beginning of a long term relationship. All I can say is, say hello to my brand new bag crush!

O-SHAN | Shelley Leemor | Spot On!

designbreak — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:27:27 +0000

I can still remember my obsession with all things Mondrian during my time at design school. So, when I first saw Shelley Leemor’s Boogie Woogie collection I jumped up and down in the middle of the mall. How crazy is that? I wanted to share with you some behind the scenes info but unfortunately (or not) Shelley is too busy surfing and enjoying the Hawaiian sun.
All I can promise is a One On One Break with this super cool designer real soon! I just hope Shelley won’t mind ;) In the meanwhile, which piece is your favorite? I’m having a hard time deciding…

Shopping Break | Cambridge Satchel

designbreak — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:34:53 +0000

I have a confession to make, since getting my first yellowish Cambridge Satchel it became my signature bag. Wherever I go, people keep asking me about it. I must admit that this obsession is going nowhere and I recently bought the brown one as well… I have a feeling that the pinkish one has my name written all over it. Just one more thing, I need to send a big thank you to my beautiful British friend Mor, who has no problem being my personal shopper when it comes to adding a new “Cambridge Satchel” to my ever growing collection.
And you my sweet and stylish readers, consider this as my early valentine love note to you ;)

World Break | L’Accent Nou | A Stroll on the Beach

designbreak — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 19:02:41 +0000

I can’t take this weather any more! It’s SO cold and dark that I can’t even hear myself think. Well, it’s not NY by any means but for Israel it’s damn cold.
And when it’s cold all that is left to do is think about a sunny day at the beach. I have a feeling that’s why I found myself wandering into Anastasia Egórova‘s L’Accent Nou natural haven. There is something quite calming and comforting about the fact that all Anastasia’s creations come from the beautiful Mallorca island in Spain. BTW, the fact that Anastasia followed her heart and left Russia for her man is extra beautiful…

UTEdesign | Color Blocks

designbreak — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:49:49 +0000

I can’t remember when was the last time I wrote about something that has something to do with babies… Well, it’s not that I’m against it, it’s just that I prefer writing about real grown up accessories ;)
I guess there is always an exception. When I bumped into UTE‘s colorful world, at first, I couldn’t tell it was a diaper bag.
The colors, prints and the overall vibe screamed style! The two lady mamas behind this super stylish brand are Eti Nevot and Tal Ben-Ari. Oh, and just one more thing, I’m loving the yellowish logo. SO ca-yute!
