New Women Space celebrates the ambitions, ideas, passions and pursuits of women of all experiences. For the upcoming holidays, we want to spotlight a handful of local artists and makers who spend their time and talent creating things: from ceramic ware, to paper goods, to slow-made clothing, tinctures, potions and more.
Come browse, shop, and support your local creators!
Featuring:
Fem Foundry - A Brooklyn based collective of young female illustrators, painters, designers, animators and creators who believe in women supporting women and their ability to create influential work. http://femfoundry.com
Violet Clair - A Brooklyn based paper and stationery company. Check out our art prints and greeting cards. http://violetclair.com
Small Spells, Rachel Howe - a multi-dimensional brand, joining healing and the arts. Reaching a broad audience through her illustrations that embrace mysticism while staying firmly rooted in the culture of modern design – drawing on the imagery of cartoons, tattoos, handmade illustrations and low-fi graphic design, Rachel has found a voice that is both accessible and aspirational. Whether through energy work, a hand-poked tattoo, or a t-shirt, the aim is always to lift up those around her, to raise the level of communication and self-awareness, and to enable personal healing and growth to occur. http://smallspells.com
House Dress, Katie MacDonald - Katie Goldman Macdonald's California roots inform the effortless feel of the collection while her time in New York has inspired the modern and functional aesthetic of House Dress. Rather than focus on fast fashion and trend driven collections, House Dress is part of the slower design movement. Building clothes with beautiful materials like raw silk noil and Akoya shell buttons, we pay extra attention to construction and thoughtful design. We offer a unique “size free” approach to dressing, focusing on layerable, generously proportioned silhouettes. All of our garments are designed and made in New York. We want you to cherish these clothes and keep them for a long time. We are made by women, for women who dress for women. http://housedressny.com
Parfums Jazmin Sarai, Dana El Masri - A collection of perfumes inspired by songs. Jazmin Saraï embodies the union between the queen of white flowers Jasmine, and the king of musical genres Jazz, wafting through the inner walls of a Saraï, an oriental palace. Scent . Music . Culture. Each perfume is translated through beats, rhythm, harmony, lyrics, and tempo. A form of pastiche in a way; an olfactive reimagining...an homage to the artists that inspired them. The choice of musicians and genres is meant to be a commentary on the diverse, multicultural world that we live in now. https://www.jazminsarai.com/
Heal Yourself, Sarah M. Chappell - A small-batch potions collection with a range of city witch apothecary items for both body and soul. Sarah M. Chappell is an intuitive healer, tarot reader, flower essence practitioner, folk herbalist, and writer based in Brooklyn, New York. After a decade-long battle with addiction, she began her recovery in order to serve her community. Sarah believes that we each have the ability to create our own wellbeing, and that every challenge is an opportunity for the ongoing work of deep healing and rebirth. http://www.sarahmchappell.com/
HAT_LINE is an accessories label about language. Each collection showcases a distinct set of words. Founders Marcel Rosa-Salas and Isabel Flower are friends living in New York City; Marcel is a PhD student in Anthropology and Isabel is an editor. Together they cohost Top Rank Magazine's podcast.
Anonymous Agent is a custom soft goods studio based in Brooklyn, NY. Textile geek Jess Meany practices quilting techniques that break away from those seen in traditional patchwork patterns. Inspired by cubism, color theory, and hidden rooms, Jess hand dyes natural fabrics to encourage her work to blur into their surrounding environments.
Come meet Jess (@anonymous_agent) at the market and consider bringing a loved one's piece of denim for a quilted revamp in time for the holiday! #anonymousagent
