moog

introducing. . .moop.
moop is a hand-maker of really cooly designed bags.
to quote her blog: "Our objective is to provide a supremely crafted bag made by hand and intended to last. We aim to change the way people dream about clothes by creating a model of high quality, modern, sweatshop free goods, that are simple and just a bit understated". The fraulein bag, pictured above, seems to me to be one of those bags that makes owning one good bag just enough!
and. . .i'm not sure where she lives (somewhere in the northeast) but her studio/home is enviably inspirational.

you can buy moop bags on etsy here
she also has a moop website and a blog
