I want it all. By Kaufmann Mercantile in Brooklyn NY.
Dustpan and broom. Butcher’s twine. Cocktail bitters (no idea what for but I love how they look). Leather (!) fly swatter. Denim apron. Aaaah.
La-la-love all the cool utilitarian stuff. So practical. So good looking. So inspiring.
And I so need the bag.
I haven’t felt this inspired by a web store, or any store for that matter, in a long time. Totally inspired.
Happy Weekend!
Lovely, Benita! I'm in love with the site now too :)
It reminds me of my favourite local webshop;
http://fatherrabbit.com/
Very similar aesthetic.

Leather fly swatters? That's the first I've seen one. But the Market + Fruit Picking Pack would be perfect for shopping at a Farmer's Market or a Picnic. The shop is a great find.

Oh I love the dustpan and broom too. Damn they don't have one with a long handle.

Nice! I think you'd like Manufactum as well (http://www.manufactum.com/)

I hope they heard you!

Mmm. Leather fly swat. Said with one eyebrow raised! :)

Funny, I was going to post the same suggestion.

Jag är också helt förälskad i Kaufmann Mercantile! Varenda pryl är vald med stor omsorg. Det är de små detaljerna som gör det! Påminner lite om affären Labour & Waith i London. (http://www.labourandwait.co.uk/)

I think we're all in live with the leather fly swat. Good find! x

*love* not live!
Posted by: Nicola | August 31, 2012 at 10:36 AM
Yes, I wonder if it comes in any other colors - perhaps 50 shades of grey ???!!!!
Posted by: Cath | August 31, 2012 at 10:55 AM
I was about to recommend this shop! I love it.

I see you are on a little crusade against flies ;-).
I like these items too. Happy weekend!
Posted by: Zosia | August 31, 2012 at 11:34 AM
Beautiful!!!
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | August 31, 2012 at 11:53 AM
Lovely items but not as inspiring a site in my mind and I do love when the whole "kit" just sucks you in :)
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | August 31, 2012 at 11:55 AM
Ah! It was on the top of my to-visit-list when I went to London last time and when I got there it was closed...
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | August 31, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Yeah, I need the heavy artillery for next year :)
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | August 31, 2012 at 11:59 AM
Oooh! That bag... I love Duluth Pack bags! You should check out their website which probably has more colors (& not sold out!)... duluthpack.com
Posted by: Nicole B | August 31, 2012 at 02:16 PM
Will do!
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | August 31, 2012 at 03:52 PM
Haha! Good one!
Posted by: Lisa Flaherty | August 31, 2012 at 04:46 PM
Haha! Jag köpte en handgjord flugsmälla i läder i present till en kompis på Östergötlands hemslöjd någon gång på 90-talet. Bara för att det var en så cool grej!

(did I pronounce it wrong????)
Posted by: Michelle | August 31, 2012 at 11:42 PM
I love it! Benita, if you want to order something; maybe we (and possibly others in Stockholm) could order together? (because the shipping is quite expensive to Sweden...)
Posted by: Mariette | August 31, 2012 at 11:42 PM
... so glad to see someone else "hooked" - would like one of everything, please!
Posted by: Ginger G | September 01, 2012 at 02:27 AM
Cath, I was thinking the same thing!
Posted by: the spectator | September 01, 2012 at 02:56 AM
Hi, I think that website is lovely. I have a wishlist tumblr that is just my personal observation on things that I love, either own or want. You can find it here: http://tangelic.tumblr.com/
Posted by: Tangelia | September 01, 2012 at 05:19 AM
Trevlig Helg! :)
Perfect!
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | September 01, 2012 at 09:42 AM
The bag I'm primarily after is out of stock but I'll get in touch if I do order it from KM! I got a link straight to the source further up so I might get it from there instead.
Posted by: Benita ~ Chez Larsson | September 01, 2012 at 09:45 AM
Lovely!

i'm quite fond of their blog, too. they remind me a bit of a favourite when i lived in england, manufaktum.
Posted by: elisa | September 04, 2012 at 08:27 AM
Oh, love all of this too. Except maybe the fly-swatter. I guess I have a dirty mind...

I like Muji for a similar reason (utilitarian). i think there's a similar dustpan to this one at Muji too. http://www.muji.eu/pages/online.asp?V=1&Sec=6&Sub=25
