Hi ya'll.
Here at Ette Girl we are big believers in buying local and handmade, and Colorado has a cornucopia of amazing artisans.
An impressive selection of Colorado makers assembled over the weekend at the Denver Flea show. Held in the RINO district in Denver, the show featured all types: artists, brewers, bakers, sewers, etc. It was a truly excellent collection of very talented peops.
The show is over (sadness!), but below are a few favorites, and all of them are still shipping in time for Christmas - though one must be snappy!
Adorn Jewelry
Made in Boulder, this line is both delicate and architectural. Check them out here.
Puffs Preserves
'Jamstress' Kirsten Farabi creates 'unique small-batch jams, jellies, and preserves by using the freshest, in-season fruits, herbs, Colorado-made spirits and microbrews'.
Cherries & Brandy? Yes, please.
Knotty Tie
Created by some seriously snazzy dudes, Knotty Tie features a custom line of handmade neckties, bow ties, scarves and pocket squares in awesome organic fabrics. Their print selection is eye popping. (I'm loving this.)
Read about their progressive business (and snap up some organic awesomeness for the blokes in your life) here.
Field & Field
Equestrian Inspired Leather GoodsOwner Lindsey approached a Denver based saddle maker regarding using their leather remnants.
The resulting bags and leashes are deliciously hearty and sophisticated. You can read Lindsey's story and peruse her elegant line here.
Mainland Supplies
I'm fairly certain one can never have enough zippered bags and totes. Mainland Supplies owner/designer Jess Jones created a line consisting of colorful hefty ripstop and chunky zippers (read: super tough). Jess will create a custom bag (you can choose colors based on swatches). With a variety of sizes, these bags are perfect for stashing pretty much everything.
In other news, we have lots of new pictures over at Ette Girl. I'll be posting some of the better outtakes from the shoot in a couple of days.
