Syracuse is a great little university town! Nevermind, of course, that ne’er a day goes by that it doesn’t snow between October and April…
A university with killer academic programs and great sports means there’s no dearth of good spirits, great food, and even better design.
Lilipad Creations is both an online shop and a brick & mortar store in downtown Syracuse. Each handbag combines functional shape with fabulous textiles & serious style. Almost three years ago, the designer behind Lilipad left her PhD in molecular biology behind to create full-time.
R Studio is a stationery shop filled with style & beautiful graphic design. Combining the best of traditional sensibility and modern elements, R Studio should be on your list of potential shops for your next invite or announcement. R Studio prides itself on using not only eco-friendly paper but a green printer, too.
I’m a complete sucker for the juxtaposition of dark & cute. So this limited edition print is right up my alley! Jonas Sickler‘s shop is full of illustrations with bold shapes and muted colors. The above print is also available in t-shirts for you and your little ones.
I like that this upcycled bottle spoon rest takes out all the guess work for your house guests. MintyFreshFusions adds this fun spoon decal to give that extra little hint. You can also find pendants, rings, necklaces and other jewelry at this great shop.
