Cool Hunting worked with several designers to create special runs of product that would be sold exclusively through their holiday pop up shop. We worked with the CH team to design a few custom colorways of our made in NYC neckties. I really like this bracelet by Jill Patner, which releases today at the pop up shop and also online.
