inspiration

I've been dreaming for awhile now about moving west... Ralph Lauren's ranch in Colorado would be quite the dream space. He is a truly gifted designer. via: architectural digest, photography by gilles de chabaneix

rebrand

this new venture is basically a venture in rebranding. My brand, Fortress, is what housed my bags and my husbands reclaimed wood goods, so now the bags and other accessories will be my own brand, Brave Nouvelle. this bleached bag is one of my favorites from last falls' collection.

something of my own

so excited my 'nouvelle' adventure is finally happening... photo from pinterest by Alexandra Valenti
