Love Jeremy Scott but your pockets don’t run that deep? Well, you can now get a little JS in your life for only $15! Available now at FRUITION are these 3″ wide, one-of-a-kind, hand-made pin-back badges from Jeremy Scott. Made of scrap fabrics from Jeremy’s past collections you can own a little from “Food Fight” or the “Right to Bear Arms” collection to name a few. Fabrics vary from jersey to spandex…some graphics are more scarce than others, like the waffle print from a very limited swimwear collection. Which by the way is no longer available…the waffle badge and the rose print badge…they found their way home with me

These are truly unique items that are guaranteed to be collectors items. So get a little Jeremy Scott in your life here!

A couple of months ago we were “introduced” to the work of Lorena Barrezueta. It was love at first site. Taking a material that one might associate with your grandmother’s candy dish or vase, porcelain, and bringing it to a modern and up-dated place, Battezueta, creates jewelry and tableware for the design savvy. Please believe this ain’t your Granny’s fruit bowl! All items are crafted by hand in her Brooklyn studio. Her jewelry collection, “Listen Lady“, features printed bangles and “Mannuel Communication,” all printed with 22K gold or platinum.  I am so into the tromp l’oeil studded bracelets and the watch bangles, lovingly named “Cassie” and “Rollie” . . . I can finally get the 22K Rolex I’ve been wanting! And her “Gourmet Collection” of tablewear made from molds of disposable take-out containers, genius . . . um, I’m no where near getting married but at least I know what to register for my tableware!

See Rollie, Cassie and much more after the jump! Read the full story

I love me some D.I.Y. goodness. I have a huge appreciation for the time and care that goes into something hand-made. The ladies of Tropic of Cancer know what is up with the hand crafted wears. Camellia Clouse and Madhavi Menon are the female cast behind Tropic of Cancer. These hand-stitched, hand-made hoodies are crafted with care in Los Angeles but available across the country. You can find them at Kitson in L.A., Union in NYC or via their blog, toccompany.
