Fine linen accessories: Hau Hauz Tango Bag
I first caught on to Finnish accessories company Hau Hauz a few years ago at the Maison et Objet housewares show in Paris. The bold-but-feminine patterns are block-printed by hand on beautifully textured linen and applied to everything from table runners to throw pillows to little handbags like the one seen here. The pieces are striking but still so refined, and though the overall vibe is definitely modern, there's a crafty homespun element that adds to their charm. I've wanted one of their clutches for ages and finally just bought one at houseandwear.com, which is one of the few places in the U.S. where you can get their stuff, and the only one I've found that sells the collection online. The bags come in a couple of different colors; you can specify whether you want one with or without handles (I went for natural, flax-colored linen without the straps); and all have old-school silver clasps and a playful, poufed silhouette. This is going to be my new evening bag for the rest of the summer, and I can picture it just as easily with beat-up jeans or silk slipdresses. It also happens to be half off at the moment, ringing in at just $40.
