Resist Today Accessories by Max Gold
A Florida-based art collective, Resist Today, serves as a direct outlet for independent artists to reach wide audiences and sell their work in the form of wallets, pillows, t-shirts and prints.
We especially like the wallets and pillows adorned with artworks making otherwise mundane accessories into lively, colorful alternatives. Demonstrating their commitment to the artists, Resist Today provides profiles of each contributing artist along with an archive of past works. Also, check out their blog for their latest and favorite works and inspiration.

Nankeen Bags and Accessories
With their deep blue hue, bold graphics and contrast lining, Nankeen's bags, ties, pillows and other accessories win points for looks alone. The vivid color and name comes from an ancient Chinese hand-printing process using indigo dye (much like Japan's Nakajima), which has shown up as inspiration for artists and designers over the years — most recently on the runways of Thakoon. After toting...
