Cool Hunting
We're less then 24 hours away from our debut at the Brooklyn Flea and we're super excited about how it's shaping up. We've have a few new items to share since our last post that we thought you might also enjoy.
Warm weather is on the horizon but fluctuating temperatures still leave us reaching for our Freehands, those awesome gloves that keep your fingers warm while you're using your phone or other gadget.
Buy a colorful Baggu bag to carry home all your bargains and grab an adorable penguin for the kid in your life, even if that happens to just be you.

Decorate yourself and your walls with these two amazing examples of metal-working. From Rogelio we have distinct key necklaces that are sure to become a staple item hanging round your nape. Simon Arizpe's Milagro Fish will have you hooked at first sight, luckily you can take one home with you.

We hope to see you there!

What's more, Kiel Mead is not only providing his quirky designs like the Birdie light and accessories shown above, but the...
The Brooklyn Flea, Fort Greene's arts, crafts and antiques bazaar, has gone indoors and upscale during these winter months. Their new location in DUMBO is the ideal spot for the revamped market, which is set to be less flea and more quality antiques and collectibles, like Eames chairs, French '68 protest posters, old phonographs and iron clocks from Ansonia.In addition to classic furniture and...
In a neighborhood jammed with antique stores DARR stands out for its unusual inventory on Brooklyn's Atlantic Avenue. Among eclectic furniture, busts and many offbeat cabinet-of-curiousity-like items (turtle shells, whale bones, etc.), we found this doctor's bag (click on images for detail). Made of walrus skin, the bag is fairly large, durable, and perfectly worn—very au courant for the enduring neo-19th century look of...
