Brands to watch

These are some of my favorite brands—companies that are among the best at what they do. Most of them value and deliver outstanding design and craftsmanship in industries where that's a rare thing, while others are cult favorite stores that have unique, one-of-a-kind items you can't find anywhere else. All are brands that you can't go wrong with.

I collect these as much as a personal reference as I do to share with others. I hope you find something new.
