Snap Judgment: Give Tool Frame Traveler

shop-give-tool-frame-traveler

Our very-visual, (almost) chatter-free snap judgment of the day: the new Give Tool Frame Traveler, $360. Along with making stylish travel gear ready for those upcoming summer trips, this local company donates 10 percent of its annual net profits to charitable causes.

Want to peruse the collection in person? RSVP to rsvp (at) shopgive (dot) com by May 31 for next week’s Give Trunk Show at Two Skirts, when 20 percent of the evening’s proceeds will benefit the San Francisco Parks Trust.

Go Somewhere: Jendarling Vagabond Collection

jendarling-garment-bag

Here at SF Indie Fashion, we are always thrilled when we can find locally-designed items of the sort we ordinarily have to grudgingly hunt for at major retailers. Things like lingerie, shoes and luggage fall into this category. As most fans of independent fashion and design can attest, locally-made jewelry and t-shirts abound. But try to find an indie garment bag, and you’re likely to come up S.O.L.

That’s where Jendarling Bags come in. Fresh from designer Jennifer Bennett, the Jendarling Limited Edition Vagabond Collection for spring features eco-friendly cotton twill and duck canvas garment bags, shoe bags, totes and cosmetic pouches with vegetable leather and vintage-inspired prints. We seriously dig the spatter-paint look of the Pacific Garment Bag ($134) shown above.

Feeling down with JDB? Then you’re in luck. Through noon tomorrow, save 20 percent on orders placed through the site with the coupon code WEEKEND. For every bag you buy, the company will donate $10 to a tree-planting project in Haiti through Global Giving.

Want to see them with your own eyes? Head to Eco Citizen, where the new Vagabond collection just landed – and keep your peepers peeled for Jendarling on the upcoming second season of The Rachel Zoe Project (it’s okay, you can admit you’ve seen it. We die!).
