Bellocq Tea

One of the nicest thing about my Project NYC experience was that usually those shows have just cloths in them, but this one had a couple of stalls with more lifestyle brands - a hair salon, a company that makes glasses, a nice girl who makes sketchbooks and this handsome gentlemen from Bellocq tea.

Since we love tea, and this display was so inviting, we went over and talked for a bit. This company's based out of Greenpoint (I love supporting small artisans who lives in my area), they started in London and moved to NY, and been going pretty strong since.

Since then I've been trying to place a tea order 3 times, one for us and one as a special gift, however, I got overwhelmed with their selection and never managed to complete my order.

HVRMINN

One of the lines we were especially impressed with at Project NYC was HVRMINN, a first collection of a young designer that up until now, specialized in Bespoke suite. The cuts are super tight and slimming, looking both contemporary and perfectly historical at the same time. But what was really outstanding was the quality of material and tailoring.
