One brand that has made some serious leaps and bounds of late is J. Crew. Their own brand has really taken off, as well as their collaborations with brands, such as New Balance, Timex, Quoddy, The Hill-Side, etc. J. Crew is really smart in doing this because it not only raises their brand awareness, but also pushes quality lesser-known brands to the fore-front of people’s minds. Check out these new bags from Abington and Seil Marschall–they look amazing. They all seem to be very well constructed and timeless in design, some have just the right amount of wear and tear–looking like you’ve had it for years. I’m so glad that classic fashion is on the rise once again.
