1. Alice Noon Half Moon Tea Rose Calf-Hair Handbag Self-taught handbag

1. Alice Noon Half Moon Tea Rose 
Calf-Hair Handbag

Self-taught handbag designer Tiffany Eley had never used a sewing machine until three years ago. Now the Seattleite’s locally sourced leather bags sit in the boutique Les Amis alongside those of French handbag maker Jerome Dreyfuss. The company is named after Eley’s great-grandmother, who she says “was a strong, kind, witty, intelligent, self-made woman—the kind of woman I envision wearing my bags.” The Half Moon calf-hair handbag comes in three colors, and tucks perfectly under your arm.

$350. alicenoon.com. Available at Les Amis, 3420 Evanston Ave. N., 632-2877.

2. Anna Skibska Necklaces

Internationally renowned artist Anna Skibska has shown her sculptural work far and wide, but she has been quieter about her design work until recently. Now, aptly it’s on display for sale in several museum stores. Each necklace she makes is unique, using unexpected blends of material, from local agates to lava-stone beads to rubber to felt to cut glass, all arranged with the utmost sophistication and balance. It’s wearable art at its most personal. T.S. Flock

$350. Available at Finerie CoLAB, 1921 Second Ave., thefinerie.com; the Seattle Art Museum Store; the Bellevue Art Museum Store; and the Tacoma Museum of Glass.

3. Reverse Goddess Necklace

West Seattle resident Xenia Mara reinvents treasures, working semiprecious and precious gemstones, pieces of Peking glass, antique Venetian beads, and vintage chains into her own beautiful artisanal jewelry. The Goddess Necklace is Mara’s signature piece. For this version, she used Tibetan double-terminated quartz and a vintage key chain in what she calls a “reverse goddess” design. This piece goes beyond the statement-necklace look, and is the perfect edgy chic adornment. LC

$350. xeniamara.com. Available at Hitchcock Madrona, 1406 34th Ave., 838-7173.

4. Oxenrider Billfold 
featuring Celeste Cooning

Durable paper wallets are appearing more and more, and not only among those who avoid leather products. The compact, modern designs on the market allow for a truly personal touch, and Seattle’s recently launched Oxenrider Wallets raise the sophistication a notch using designs by local and international artists, including Celeste Cooning. Carry one in miniature in four designs. TSF

$25. oxenriderseattle.com.

5. Leaf and Flower Bangles

The handcrafted pieces by Seattle-based jewelry designer Juliet Rogers are worthy of obsession, and this one is no exception. The contrast of the brass-vermeil 18-karat yellow-gold leaves and flowers against the black rhodium bangle make the bracelet both edgy and elegant. One looks great, but these gorgeous bangles deserve to be worn in a fabulous stack up your arm. If that’s not enough, there are matching earrings as well. LC

$60 per bangle. julietrogers.com.

6. Pressed-Flower iPhone Case

In Seattle, we love natural beauty and technology. The fine folks at With Lavender & Lace seem similarly inclined, as their pressed-flower iPhone cases offer a unique fusion of organic and synthetic design elements. Actress and style icon Emma Watson has been spotted with one, so you’ll be in good company with a flower to your ear. TSF
