A beautiful wallet is more than a sign of good taste, it says something about the way you live your life. Do you have a million receipts stuffed into your wallet? You probably have a messy bedroom. Is your wallet ripped on the corners? Your car probably needs a tune-up. Does your wallet have some sort of Velcro on it? You probably need to move out of your mom’s garage. Is your wallet made of pony hair printed with zebra stripes? Then you are probably amazing. Give “amazing” as a gift, it’s always a sure thing.
And if lunch is the meal you skip, opt for the snak mini clutch or the dinner clutch. All with equal wow factor. Leather, it’s what’s for lunch. {woooooow did I just say that?}
There’s nothing more cheeky than turning a pink Chinatown plastic bag into a sleek leather accessory. Count us in! Check out the leather plastic bags from Cast of Vices, designed by Hassan Rahim. Get yours at Acrimony come June. Then tote around your groceries in style.
A couple of Jules Kim’s deviously cute pieces have found their way into our doors and — if you act now — onto your hands.

Bar Bone Ring in 14K gold vermeil and sterling silver

NY was filled with lots of new finds for the shop for Spring 2011. And if we act fast, which we will, we may be able to get some of it earlier than February 2011 (which seems like forever from now). I can’t imagine waiting any longer than a few months to have THIS sitting in the shop window.
These bags by Master-Piece from Osaka, Japan, have been rolling over in my mind since I got back. This printed nylon backpack and matching fanny pack are a nice diversion from the woven, Native American fabrics I’ve been seeing all over the place.
The backpacks and small leather goods are also something to drool over. Perfect for travel, riding your bike around the city, or just looking fly. All of which are totally necessary in living the good life.
Available at Acrimony soon. For pre-orders or questions, email us! info@shopacrimony.com
Come by and grab duds at 30%-70% off regular price. Marcus might even bake something if you guys promise to stop in the store.
There’s only so far a wallet and some pant pockets will get you. The MAKR Button Tote is ideal for the dad who has found himself running out of cargo real estate but realizes that messenger bags are meant for messengers and that he hasn’t owned a backpack since he finished college. Sturdy black canvas makes this tote tough and durable while the super plush cowhide adds a sophisticated touch. Need to drag around a heavy load? Button the carry straps down and sling it over your shoulder. Need to just carry a few things? Button the tote straps down and comfortably carry it. And he can stop fishing around his pocket for his keys; MAKR has him covered with an internal snap hook. Remember: dads need bags, not purses.
Remember when “Top Gun” came out? Remember how everyone fell over themselves to buy a pair of Ray-Ban aviators. Chances are your dad has considered aviators at some point, but we’ve got something better. Instead of letting dad look like every other person on the street with their flimsy metal frames, upgrade him to the Veronique Branquinho leather wrapped aviators produced by famed eyewear company Linda Farrow. Like all Linda Farrow sunglasses, these feature excellent Japanese production, lenses that meet the highest UV protection standards, and a look that’s equal parts classic and modern. Brown leather covers the front of the frame and the arms for a luxe look that will make sure dad looks like a “Maverick” who follows his own rules. Or maybe just that he has really great taste in sunglasses.
Father’s Day is one of our favorite holidays (but don’t tell Mother’s Day we said that), because we get to find cool presents and give our dad’s a big hug. So to make sure that every father gets what he wants and that you get a happy father, we’re counting down some of our favorite gift ideas in store right now. Everything is available instore and online, so you can either come by and have us box it up for you or click and have it mailed to dad all wrapped up already!
For today, we have to ask: is your Dad prone to losing his coins? His cards? His cash? His keys? We’ve got him covered with MAKR’s zip wallet. Made out of cow hide that’s been tanned to resemble a supple deerskin, it has two outside pockets for quick access to IDs or tickets and a roomy zippered pocket for cash, coins, and anything else that’s been falling out of his old cardholder. You know…before it’s too late.
The Acrimony x MAKR exclusive cordovan wallet is back in stock (but just barely). We received two but one of these guys already got snatched up, so if you want to be one of three lucky owners in the world, call us or e-mail us right away before it disappears!
