CC Loves... Oopsmark: Tools for Urban Living

Darlings, CC is so excited to introduce you to Oopsmark, a unique and amazing Canadian company with a minimalist design aesthetic and a very chic approach to urban living! Here's a bit about Oopsmark from the website:
"Oopsmark was born out of the idea that even bumps in the road are valuable experiences. Working hands-on to offer a custom approach to your experience, all products are handmade in Montreal with the urban lifestyle in mind. Our leather is tanned using natural plant extracts instead of harsh chemicals, producing a vegetable-tanned leather that is durable and looks better as it ages. The Oopsmark design philosophy is one of minimalism, environmental responsibility, and functionality."
As a yoga and Pilates instructor, CC was especially smitten with the yoga mat strap (pictured below). CC hopes you enjoy these useful and affordable items, and maybe even find some holiday shopping inspiration! All available at oopsmark.ca.
