VICTORIA & RICHARD EMPRISE ARRIVE AT RS POP! Dec 14-Jan 30
Posted on 15. Dec, 2009 by AdamWallace in fashion
Victoria & Richard Emprise was created by the artists, Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs. This intimitable couple tickled the turn of the 20th century upside down. Then tumbled into today with leaps and bounties of inventions and intentions to rattle the shackles of protocol with a wry wink to the world. The designs of Victoria and Richard fetch the fancy and unfeigned wisdom within us each and shower them with crisp inspiration to conquer the callous. Their collections are full of exuberant and funky designs in dinnerware, stemware, tabletop accessories including lamps and vases.
Whether you are looking for jewelry, a purse, a lamp and magical carpet- they have it all!
Come visit them at RS POP- 501 Lexington Ave @ the Roger Smith Hotel.

Fleabags are ideal Fleamarket totes
Friends and family have used them for
Weekends away,
Trips to the beach,
Jaunts to the grocery store
And to carry anything numerous or unwieldly.
They are sturdy and made of eco-friendly materials.
Organic Cotton/Hemp Canvas
Vegetable-Tanned, American and Italian Leather
Water-Based Ink
Locally Made in New York
By Hand
In Limited Edition
Shira Entis, a fashion designer and lover of all things tiny and over-sized, and Alex Bell, a lawyer and seeker of adventures, have been fleamarket addicts since they met ten years ago at Brown University. Frustrated by the inconvenience and environmental hazard of accumulating several plastic bags while marketing, they craved a convenient and fashion-hot tote that could fit all of their wares. Fleabags are designed as their ideal solution – dapper, large, lightweight and sturdy carry-alls – that are also eco-minded. Thus the brand Fleabags began in 2009 while both still worked their day jobs in New York City.
THEY ARE ECO FRIENDLY
An important part of the Fleabags venture was to create a bag that was as Green as possible while maintaining high quality and covetable design. Thus much research was put into the types of canvas, leather and parts available in the United States that would fit their eco-friendly standards. Fleabags are wholly sourced in the US and made in New York of certified organic cotton / hemp canvas, vegetable-tanned leather and water-based silkscreen ink. Fleabags use no glues or toxic paints, just good old fashion sewing.
LTD ED.
The Original Flea bags are made in Limited Edition by hand and with the Edition Number written on each bag. Four colorways are offered- White, Saddle, Coffee Bean and Pebble. Please inquire at sales@fleabg.com for information about our next set of production.
