Designer Spotlight: Conrad Booker

The Chain Hobo by Conrad Booker

Architect, artist and designer, Conrad Booker, recently debuted his new handbag brand at Bus Stop Boutique. This season's collection, "Hardwear", is all about contrast; Mixing metal chains with soft leather, silky tassels with silver rings and black exterior with brightly patterned linings. All items are handmade in Philadelphia and feature bold shapes, beautiful finishings,  and those little touches we all love like interior pockets, peek-a-boo linings, and self-locking clasps. With this collection, Booker transforms unexpected materials into elegant and edgy accessories. I especially love the "Chain Hobo", sleek, roomy, and classic.
