Minnesota Brands We Love {A continuing series}

When you think about the fashion capitols of the world, rarely (if ever) does Minnesota come to mind.  However, over the past 23 years we've rounded up our very favorite, very stylish, Minnesota brands.  We think it's so important to support our local businesses, so we will be updating the list as we discover more local goodies!

1. First on our list, Thymes, the deliciously sweet smelling fragrance brand.  We are head-over-heels for this shop, especially their hand soaps, a small luxury that goes a long way in making your day just a bit brighter.  Their lotions and room perfumes are perfect for housewarming gifts. And they are especially great as gifts during the holiday season when they come out with scents like pine needles, yum! If you haven't already, you must check them out immediately, they have a great site for ordering too!

2. Next on the list, Spring Finn and Co. a gorgeous collection of leather handbags and accessories.  We cannot get enough of their red collection!  Also, currently craving the leather sunglasses case! How perfect for Summer!  Their craftsmanship is unparalleled, and will most definitely stand up to everyday wear-and-tear, I personally think they look better with time!  I use my small pouch to hold jewelry when I travel, but my ideas for it are endless! 

 3. If you've ever been to Minnesota in the Winter (or even Spring, yikes April enough snow already) you know how bitterly cold it gets.  Therefore, you know how necessary it is for us to have a company like Faribault Woolen Mill Co.!  It was only recently reopened, and we couldn't be happier!  Their blankets are not only perfect for cozying up with in the snowy cold but they're also perfect for throwing down in the Summer for a picnic in the grass!  We also love their iPad sleeves, it protects it enough that I don't have to worry about anything getting scratched or bumped when traveling.  And did we mention they teamed up with another Minnesota classic, Duluth Pack to create some truly darling handbags?! It doesn't get better, people.
