Back and Better than Ever

Our fabulous tote bags are back this season with great new features-- exterior patch pockets, interior organization, and fun ribbon in school colors. All the same schools that have Id cases in their colors will have a tote bag to match.

I'm also working on custom orders for several sororities-- Check out the print I made for the girls of Phi Mu. Can't wait to see the bags.

For custom orders email custom@rsowilliams.com.

New Leather Accessories!

Back-to-school

As sad as leaving the beaches to return to school is, there is one upside:

NEW BACKPACKS!

And id holders in your school colors!

Goodbye to Summer

Summer in New England

When the dead heat of New York finally forces a mass exodus from the city to much more natural and spacious locales. With sand...

Miles of sandy beaches and dunes... nothing like the dunes of Cape Cod

And summer communities...

And houses with gardens full of Hydrangeas (which apparently love the acidic soil of the Cape)

And sailing and boating and picnic-ing on the beach....

And shady expanses of freshly cut lawn...

And beautiful views...

And houses slightly bigger than our minuscule 1500 sq ft apartments (shared with roommates) back in New York...

I never want to go back to New York!

Trunk shows!

Yesterday, I went to a trunk show for CK Bradley and Robert Redd on the Upper East Side. The new summer line of CK Bradley clothing is amazing. Even as a guy, I had to restrain myself from buying some tops for my sister and girlfriend. The Chelles Halter in Blue Picadilly was particularly beautiful with eye catching pops of electric blue against navy and white. I guess as a guy I'm drawn to anything blue. My friends always ask me when I'm going to finally move away from Navy Blue in all my designs and on to pink (the answer is this fall... Pink and Navy).

Robert Redd's stuff was amazing as well. I've never seen such great color combinations for polo shirts. I ended up getting a great turquoise and lime shirt in their Murdoch cut (pictures to come).
