Today we're celebrating our neighbors (it is the Fourth after all) and featuring a few beautiful handmade things from the USA. From beautiful leathergoods to fun beach toys, here's a few quality makers based out of the U.S.

1. Wenning & Co.

Starting with these stunning leathergoods from Wenning and Co. because first off, I love the color and secondly, the minimalist look of them. Aren't they gorgeous? Each of Wenning & Co.'s products is crafted by hand using natural vegetable tanned leather and stitched with wax nylon thread. They are based in Roanoke, IN, United States

2. fruitsuper design



fruitsuper design is a Seattle-based studio that is one-part design consultancy, one-part product development, and three parts "serious-fun." We love their summer-themed products featuring a roll-up double-sided (and water resistent) picnic blanket, super fun silicone (stretch to fit) rings and a fresh take on a Scandinavian outdoor lawn game, King's Game.

4. Fail Jewelry


Each piece of Fail Jewelry's collection is delicately handcrafted in sterling silver and 14K gold-fill in Christine Fail's Austin, Texas studio. Christine employs classic metalsmithing techniques such as hand forging to form and shape delicate wire. Forging gives wire strength, resiliency, and a soft organic texture that allows the hand of the artist to be present in each piece. Fail jewelry is intentionally lightweight, fluid, and wearable.
