While loads of people were around the corner at Frances May’s (1013 SW Washington) champagne opening reception, that same day the doors of Covet (429 SW 10th) also quietly opened (look for a grand opening in early May). Stocking lots of high end casual wear (Citizens of Humanity denim, Michael Stars tees and leggings), plus fancier pieces from lines like Tibi, the store also features a small selection of well selected and priced jewelry, but for me the most exciting part is the fact that they carry Calleen Cordero. A handmade line of leather accessories out of Southern California, it is liberal in its use of flat studs as embellishment. I have a pair of little lace up boots of hers that my boyfriend accurately nailed when he describe them as “Pocahontas meets biker slut.” The bags are gorgeous too, and Covet has both shoes and bags in the mail—the belts, below, are already in store.
