Absolutely Stunning New Backpack
We just finished a beautiful new piece, and we could not be more excited to share it with you. This backpack became a bigger undertaking than we expected, but the result is worth every hour we worked on it. One lucky customer will get the very first one, and we’ll be making more soon.
|
We also added a new event to the calendar this week. Midnight Madness is on, and we’re thrilled to be part of it. You’ll find us indoors at Cahoots. Details are in the information block below.
|
For those in Ann Arbor, this is the shopping night many of you look forward to all year. While you’re out enjoying the festive atmosphere and braving the cold, stop in at Cahoots to warm up and see us in person.
