So, I'm sort of in love with my cousin. Besides being raised in Europe (unsailably cool) and being a punk when punk was punk, she designs kickass handbags. I know, I'm sort of jealous too.
Her company is called Plunket and Pivet and is based in Brooklyn. You can see more of her bags here, but first a couple of my favorites:
When I was younger I wanted to be just like her when I grew up. She taught me how to draw my first life-like figure, told me what bands were cool and had all the grace and air of a rockstar to my eleven year old brain. At that point: I had braces, listened to the Cranberries are wore a peace sign t-shirt. Middleschool was not my finest hour.
I'm going to see her this weekend for a family reunion in Minnesota. And I know it's silly, but I TOTALLY hope she thinks I'm cool now. LOL...
Love you, mean it
Emily
P.S. updates, pictures and cool points to follow :) I'll miss you!
