3) Harlow Monocle Necklace
Seeing is believing with this monocle necklace. It looks like a shiny, sparkly accessory—and it is—but it’s also a stealthy way to see better. Hold the crystal-encrusted, diamond-shaped pendant up to your eye and move what you want to read closer until it comes into focus. It’s a perfectly convenient piece that helps out with reading menus, price tags and more—no glasses needed.
4) Etched Leather Map Journal - Cleveland, OH
A modern take on an ancient craft, this Made in the USA etched leather notebook cover showcases your favorite city.

The included Moleskine notebook is replaceable, so you can always carry your thoughts in something beautiful that’s Made for a Lifetime.

Not just socially conscious, but environmentally friendly too, this carry-all messenger bag goes the distance. Crafted from recycled cement bags, it's one of a kind and loaded with zip pockets to hold everything you need for the day.
