i first came across the works of hob snobs last summer at paper-ya down in granville Island. hob snobs is a vancouver-based art & design collective with a love of craft. they make a charming, eclectic, and fashionable mix of items for the home, closet and everyday living. from journals to ties, everything is handmade with a unique canadian influence.
hob snobs includes sasha barry (track and field designs), heather emery (pudding products), carley hodgkinson (hodgkinson design), and valerie thai (cabin + cub design).
