Hannah Zakari Just Got Bigger

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007
Items from Hannah Zakari

For the last few years Hannah Zakari has been ‘the’ place to shop for handmade jewellery. With an unrivalled selection of unusual baubles and trinkets, the Glasgow based online shop has become synonymous with indie style.

Well, it just got bigger. With a brand spanking new design and loads of new features, the site now stocks accessories, bags, clothes and stationery. I’ve picked out a few of my favourites from Eclectic Shock, FluffsStuffs, Hoolala, Hannah Zakari, I’m Smitten and Laurafallulah.

Head over to www.hannahzakari.co.uk. And check back regularly as the stock is frequently updated and new designers are introduced regularly.

Mahar Drygoods

Friday, July 6th, 2007
Handmade goodies from Mahar Drygoods

Mahar Drygoods is a real gem of a site for Friday afternoon surfing. It’s stocked full of vintage and artisan crafted goods for kids. Owner Robert Mahar collaborates with more than two dozen indie designers, artists and craftspeople, many of whom create items exclusively for his shop.

The site has a lovely nostalgic feel to it which I think will appeal to everyone’s ‘inner child’. Each product has been carefully selected and there is a good selection to choose from including clothing, accessories, toys, gifts and music.

Surf and shop at www.mahardrygoods.com. I’m going back for another look.

Sodafine

Thursday, April 19th, 2007
Products from Sodafine

I love online shops that have a variety of products made by different designers. I love choice and having a good old rummage. Take Sodafine, for example. They have clothes, shoes, jewellery, accessories, stationery, bath stuff and even a bit of vintage. And they have a whole line up of talented designers, including owner Erin Weckerle’s own knitwear brand, Purldrop.

Browse ’til your heart’s content at www.sodafine.com.

Thursday, April 12th, 2007
Products from Moose

I’m casting my net further afield today to sample the delights of Moose. If you haven’t visited this cool online Australian store, click on over there. Moose stocks the work of over 50 local artists and craftspeople, with the aim of spreading Aussie creativity far and wide.

To give you a taster, the beautiful brooches above are made from southern ice porcelain by Sandra Bowkett. The cute ‘Lullabird’ has been lovingly created out of vintage fabrics by OMA and the jingly, jangly ‘Circle Earrings’, brimming with silver, freshwater pearls, coral and silk are by Mary Odorcic.

Go and rummage at www.shopmoose.com.au.

Big in Japan

Wednesday, February 14th, 2007
Hitoyasumi Futayasumi by Tiny Azure Puchi Patch by B.S.E.T.C

February 14th. A day of love, romance, flowers, hearts, chocolates and the launch of the eagerly awaited Tokyo Made. At 8 o’clock a.m. Tokyo time, the much anticipated emporium of Tokyo cool threw open its doors to share its stylish treasures with the online global community.

The store is full to the rafters with goodies from hip, young Japanese designers and artists. Kawaii meets Street meets Wa. But more than this, co-owners Masao and Deanne describe it as an ‘an open window to a Tokyo shopping adventure’. As well as clothes, accessories, bags and jewellery, Masao and Deanne are eager to share the booty from their frequent power shopping trips.
