Forestbound
Forestbound uses New England salvaged textiles and hardware to create durable, utilitarian tote bags.
Auditorium Toy Co.
Classic toys made to last by the Auditorium Toy Co. So well made, in fact, that each comes with a certificate to record the names of its many owners over time.
Olsson & Barbieri
Check out these incredible handmade bags by Italian craftsmen Olsson & Barbieri. Each bag is produced in no more than 50 numbered pieces a year, with minor revisions in between, making each product individually unique.
Coney Island's Wonderful Weirdness
On my recent visit to NYC, I was reminded of the amazing handmade vernacular that is prevalent throughout what is this modern city, especially in places like the quickly-disappearing Coney Island. From reclaimed materials to hand-painted signs to graffiti and well-worn, antique textures, Coney Island is a treasure-trove of handmade design from times past. While it may have seen better days, and may even cease to exist in the near future, there are thankfully a number of photographers, both amateur and professional, documenting the weirdness that is Coney Island. Check out a few of such artists here.
Brooklyn Rehab
Brooklyn Rehab takes handmade, vintage found objects and gives them a new life. Beautiful objects and a noble cause, to boot.
Yuta Onoda
As much as we might be inclined to think that the paintings of Yuta Onoda involve heavy use of illustrator/photoshop/etc., these intricate pieces are actually the product of hands, pigments and paper (or in some cases, wood). Gasp!
The most beautiful recycling plant ever.
Martin O'neill creates beautiful work from others' rubbish. Literally. His amazing handmade collages are culled from a vast library of found objects, used books and yard sales. Now don't you wish you could do this with your trash instead of sending it to the landfill?
