Made by: Need Supply Co. is a consumer-oriented online retailer, located in Richmond, Virginia.
Black Leather Tote
A timeless all-black purse crafted entirely of pebbled buffalo leather.

— FOR HIM —
M-Line Watch
An elegant, ultra-minimalist watch without any visible branding.
Made by: Uniform Wares, a London-based watch manufacturer with a passion for meticulous design and construction.
Solid Cologne
A high-quality cologne balm you rub between your fingers and then apply for a longer-lasting scent. Sound too New Agey? It’s actually quite old. This is Alfred Lane’s modern take on a product that dates back to Ancient Egypt.
Made by: Alfred Lane, which handcrafts all its colognes in Chicago. Vintage packaging included.
Machine Era Wallet
Crafted in the USA from various metals, this wallet is a minimalist’s dream.
