Tie By Juanmarcos Design

Each item is handmade and limited edition, so get them while you can! I love that the products are named after different locations in the world that are being showcased by the patterns on the ties. For instance: Italy, Florence, Manhattan, and Glasgow are a few of the choices currently available.

Kent British Handcrafted Clothes Brush

​Forget lint rollers. Bring up your level of class with a Kent Brush. These brushes have been handcrafted in England since 1777 and will keep you looking sharp. Love the cherrywood handle on this one.

Swell Vision Avalon Brown Bamboo Sunglasses With Smoke Polarized Lenses

It's hard to beat the natural bamboo look merged with a classic aviator style shade. Love these ones from Swell Vision, a family business out of Pawleys, Island South Carolina. Super light and comfortable with stainless steel spring-loaded hinges. Light enough to float in the water so you'll never loose your sunglasses again! Polarized and protecting you from UVA/UVB.  They also come in a really cool bamboo box complete with a fabric carrying pouch and cleaning wipe. *thumbs up* 

You can check out the Swell Vision Store on Amazon or at their website, https://www.swellvision.com.  Find them on social media too: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram.

(PS Awesome bamboo pen also from Swell Vision) 

Penseur Handmade Leather refillable Journal

This handmade, genuine leather notebook by Penseur is an incredible addition to your everyday routine. The paper within is unlined offering versatility in the use of this notebook. It is also refillable, meaning you can remove that original notebook from the leather cover and replace with a new one when you run out of pages, or if you prefer a different style of paper. The flaps that hold the notebook in the cover can be used as pockets as well. The long strap wraps around the notebook to secure it shut and can withhold pens and pencils. Finally, there are 2 ribbon bookmarks. The more you use a leather item like this, the more character it will get as you break in the leather. I love how it will be unique to each person with frequent use. 

You can find this Penner Co Leather Refillable Journal/ Sketchbook on Amazon.
