By\u00a0Teddyfish<\/a>. A brand birthed in Spring 2010, whose concepts and mottos are honest, robust, sweet. Very small-town and kind of adorable, like little French kids who tag along with their French editor mothers to Paris Fashion Week. Teddyfish is a project, a brand, a lifestyle which\u00a0hatched in an inspiring, old tea house with a mission to \u201ccreate objects for peaceful, daily life.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Two designers who believed in\u00a0handmade and small production<\/strong>\u00a0and immersed themselves in the art of\u00a0modern craftsmanship<\/strong>\u00a0to improve originality and quality<\/strong>. And in doing so they were close to both their designs and their bags\u2019 users: they sold to their friends. Their friends of friends. Friends of friends, of friends.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019ve finally gone public.<\/p>\n

Teddyfish. Robust. Simple. Honest. Ready to get old.<\/strong>\u00a0A collection of raw, canvas bags which embody all of the aforementioned and more. It speaks of the minimalist lifestyle, of the simplicity of baguette shopping at the local farmer\u2019s market and\u00a0boulangerie<\/em>\u00a0every morning. Of architecture and old French books from an actual\u00a0librairie<\/em>, and not a commercialized\u00a0Barnes and Noble<\/a>. Not that I mind them\u2014I actually love sipping Starbucks whilst perusing the aisles\u2014but I miss the authenticity and simplicity of culture and canvas\u00a0cabas<\/em>. I miss hand-made, well-made products that were meant to age gracefully with every shopping trip.<\/p>\n

And Teddyfish speaks exactly to that<\/strong>. It\u2019s too bad\u00a0le Ballon Rouge<\/a>\u00a0is sold out.\u00a0Le sigh<\/em>.<\/p>\n
