How ironic that a week long - or two-week long - theme on work got me all out of sorts and out of my regular work/posting schedule!? My apologies to all for the scarcity in exciting Israeli design items to brighten your days. And a promise to start right away with some exciting news, pics and links to what’s been happening on the Israeli design scene here in Israel and abroad. Hooray!
So for a little cherry atop this welcome back Thursday sundae, above are the beautifully crafted Sugar handbags by Israeli accessories designer Riva Naroshevitch. Her line Design by Riva is ubiquitous on Tel Aviv’s shopping-forward streets mostly setting trends with its careful attention to design and clever use of textured fabrics. In her own words, “When I approach the design, I try to visualize the clients wearing it as if it was a dress or a shirt.” In other words, nothing more basic or rudimentary to your wardrobe than these lovely purses, shoulder bags and wallets.

I like them. Are they washable?

Hmm, good question. I know the fabric is sprayed to resist stains but you can also wash things off it by hand. I wouldn’t say they’re washable in terms of able to be thrown in the wash though. There’s a lining that doesn’t seem compatible in that sense.
