It is really special to have something that was made for you. The creativity, craftsmanship, time and effort that went into your finished item all make it worth it. Moop Shop is an accessories store in the USA with a difference. Brought to our attention here at BundleBox by a super stylish Bundleer, the company design pieces that are traditional in design using contemporary and durable materials.
What is exciting about Moop is that they make accessories for Men, Women and Children. They design and manufacture from the light and fluid air of their Pittsburgh Studio. The company explain that their belief lies in creations that are ‘Concise, durable and well crafted’ and each piece can take up to two weeks to hand make.

BundleBox HEARTS the Moop blog. Here the handcrafting ‘Moop Makers’ update with their daily musings and design processes in the studio in a light hearted and fun way. Proving that it is an altogether whole-hearted experience where everything is made by people who love what they do.
Without leaving anyone out here, BundleBox has compiled a list of Moop must haves including something for Women, Man and Child.
First up for the ladies, the soft, gorgeous Market Bag ($103) is made for browsing herb and Veg stalls on a Saturday morning. Available in a variety of different colours including brown and organic golden yellow, the roomy accessory has comfortable adjustable straps and is made using organically grown and dyed cotton.

For the stylish and sophisticated Man who wants a bag that is subtly trendy, stylish yet timeless. The Messenger bag in Gun Metal ($131) is perfect for flitting between meetings with your laptop, adhoc road trips and daily shopping. Made from a super durable cordora. It is great that the Moop Makers use images from their studio to advertise the bags in the Moop website. It means that they love the products too!

A Moop bag for Kids is a fantastic way to introduce children to the earthly benefits of sustainable and reusable fabrics. The Moop Book Bag ($89) is perfect for school and its durable canvas means that it can be popped in the washing machine when a little grubby. With a range of colours, our favourite is the bright and fun Provincial Blue coloured Book Bag. The fun d-rings are practical allowing for water bottles and flashlights to be clipped on to the bag.

As Head Bundleer I hear about many amazing USA websites. It is a good thing as I can pass on in our Blog and weekly Newsletter. At BundleBox, as far as we are concerned, you can never have too much of a good thing so when Design Within Reach came to our attention, we were sold!
This meticulously stylish and super sleek website is home to a world of modern designs for storage, lighting, bathroom, outdoor, living and dining ideas. The company has a number of stores across the USA, but unfortunately does not reach to the UK and Europe, until now! With BundleBox you can buy online and have your items delivered direct to your door.
On a further inspection of the Design Within Reach website, BundleBox can highly recommend the Design Notes and DWR Blog, informative and interesting sources of design tips and news from website.
Of course everyone has their own spin on home decor so it is worth having a good browse to find your favourite pieces from DWR. In an attempt to fuel your inspiration, we have listed a few of our own below.
One thing every happy home needs is a functioning storage system and luckily right now at DWR, there is a storage sale.
We love the L shaped Parallel Bookends ($63.75). They are perfect for an orderly reading corner and tick all the boxes for looking good!
Parallel BookEnds $65.75
Your bedroom should be a haven of peace, relaxation and retreat from the outside world. The Nest Air Organic duvets even sound dreamy! Described as ‘relaxed sophisticated modern bedding’ each air organic duvet is created using organic cotton and simple jacquard weaving techniques.

The NY Rocking chair ($500) designed by Takeshi Nii in 1958 was inspired by the classic style of a directors chair. His vision for the lounger was that it would be ‘a chair for one to sit and relax in after a nice meal’. We all know the feeling when someone claims the comfy chair at home and the NY Rocking Chair is certainly one to draw battle lines over. Created with a folding frame and durable canvas, this design is permanently on display at MOMA.
