It’s not tough to #SupportLocal when our homegrown brands are worthy of a spot in the international fashion scene, including Gnome & Bow – so named because their premium leather goods are inspired by classic storybooks. For maximum style and protection, invest in one of their RFID wallets which prevents electronic pickpocketing and keeps your credit cards safe.
