Reader Wish List: Kate

The next Holiday Reader Wish List is from a local reader. Minneapolis represent!

Name: Kate Levine
Occupation: Architect-In-Training

“My Mom starts her Xmas shopping in October and religiously asks me for a list, so throughout the year I put things I like in an online list so I don’t have to scramble when Autumn arrives.”

1. Nixon Iris Watch – white/gunmetal
“I tend to wear a lot of black and gray (that architect stereotype exists for a reason…) but I like to have some relatively funky accessories. I also don’t wear leather, so I’m always looking for a nice non-leather watch.”

2. Bodum Columbia Tea Press
“Is there anything more homey than a tea kettle on the stove? This one is exquisitely detailed, and yet understated.”

3. Recycled Felt Portfolio Bag
“For meetings with clients, I often need a smaller bag to carry just the essentials.”

4. Architectural Graphic Standards
“This is the go-to book in my field for pretty much everything. Plus, it’s beautiful.”

5. Matt & Nat Bauhaus Bag
“Often, non-leather means cheap. But not with Matt & Nat. They have fabulous attention to detail and materiality. They also have a lot of unisex pieces that are good for smaller people (like me).”
