Etsy Artist: Sass & Peril

We love the simplistic forms and basic shapes Etsy shop Sass & Peril uses for their line of hand-screenprinted goods.  The whimsical animals remind us of a lot of our Fossil charms – and we like how they apply their printing technique to wall prints, greeting cards, home goods (tea towels and pillows), and garments.  Wouldn’t…

Today is 3/3/13 – and since it’s March, we have green on the brain (in preparation for St. Patrick’s Day, of course!).  As you can see from our Song of Spring collection, florals and green things have played an inspiring role for the designers at Fossil… Spring is the time of new beginnings and there…

Laser-cut is a big current design trend.. Seen in everything from leather and lucite to metal and paper – we think the technique is here to stay.  Which is why we have the urge to share the handmade goodness by Etsy artists Patrick Lajoie and Mara Minuzzo, and their shop Studio Liscious.  The creative duo work…

White is a neutral we could never live without—a color that lives in our accessories and apparel collection and it a year-round wardrobe staple.  To us, the key to keeping while looking and feeling interesting is to find pieces with details and texture.  This principle also applies to art, which brings us to artist Angela…

etsy shop: studio snowpuppe

We are often inspired by work that uses something ordinary to make something extraordinary.  Studio Snowpuppe is the Etsy shop of architect Nellianna and industrial designer Kenneth – the two designers take the most humble of materials, paper, and transform it into beautiful and intricate light pendants.  The clean geometry and spring-time hues of the lamps are…

d.i.y. distressed jeans

We love our Fossil denim. It fits well, comes in washes that are both classic and on trend, and stands the test of time in both quality and silhouette.  As much as we love the jeans the way they are, we decided we wanted to distress a pair for a quick “I’ve had these jeans…
