I am so excited to announce the arrival of our newest purse line! We feel so lucky to now carry Crystalyn Kae Accessories, a wonderful line of handbags out of Seattle. We love local products– you know that, but what we love even more is smart and sexy local products. So here we go!

Her Pleated Clutch

I recently had the opportunity to meet Crystalyn during the Seattle Gift Show. As I walked into her booth she said hello, quickly read my name tag, and exclaimed “I was just visiting Olympia and I went shopping at Compass Rose, I love your store!” Well, I was just as excited to be meeting her.  I have seen her work during my time in the Northwest, and I have always admired it from afar. Did somebody say match made in Heaven? We got to talking and she told me about her lovely purses.

Meet Crystalyn!

When it comes down to it, I love the feel of them. Most are made of out of a durable (and washable!) glazed fabric that is water resistant and vegan!   One of my first questions looking over the line was “how do they age?” Well, it seemed this was a question that she had been asked often. Crystalyn looked up across the isle to another local artist who immediately knew why she was being called upon. The woman walked right over with her bag to show me what a bag that was just about a year old looked like. Well, I thought it looked great, but the first thing out of Crystalyn’s mouth was “you need to wash that!” This made me laugh, but led me to asking about how they wash up. No need to fear, you can throw any of her glazed fabric bags in the washing machine! I was pretty amazed when I heard this. Need to bring some life back into your bag? Use a little bit of clear shoe polish and you will be able to see the color and shine come back into the fabric.

Pleaty Pleaty please?

I usually get excited about new lines we bring into the store, but I am really super excited about this line. She was kind enough to speed up the shipping process so that I could have the one I picked out for myself before Alana and I head off to New York for the gift show. What a doll!

They are here now, so come play dress up with us. I promise you won’t be let down!
