Pollux Handmade Bags

I remember the first bag Jessica Moriber ever made.  I remember her excitement while describing the thrill of making something with her hands.  It was a special moment.  I also remember my excitement and shock when her first ever handmade prototype bag was handed over to me as a gift that day. That was four years ago.

Today, the collection has grown and she has honed her skills but each bag still feels as special as if it were her first.

Here are some pieces from the new spring Megan Park collection.

The prints and bead work are always amazing but this season 

is especially good.  

We have more of the collection at the store so stop by if you can. 

Or give us a call and we are happy to email more photos to you.

Today we did a little renovation....new shelves!  We've been wanting to change these for so long but just never got around to it.  Subtle but satisfying. 

New antipast socks from Japan have arrived.    They are cuter than ever.  

Welcome to our blog!

There is always something new going on around here. So, we thought since you can't come to the store every day, we would come to you.  Our goal is to give you a little glimpse into what makes us excited about our store on a daily basis.  Thanks for checking in.  Hopefully, you will be inspired, too.
