HOI BO - Fall / Winter 2010 Collection now in store

Following the highly successful introduction of Toronto accessories maker Sarra Tang's collection of handbags, HOI BO bags are back in store for Fall / Winter.

We have all spent countless hours drooling over the gorgeous bags which are all hand made in the Distillery District with materials such as naked kid skin, solid brass and barked tanned cowhide.

New this season is the men's book bag which has leather handles, 3 inside pockets for organization and comes with an adjustable messenger strap.

The coveted pleated satchel is available in a variety of sizes in either black or gray. Pair it with a crazy sexy wool piece from Wool and the Gang and you are ready to brave the chilly winter in absolute style!

WOOL AND THE GANG - Now in Store

We are super happy to announce the arrival of Wool and the Gang Knitting Kits at Homewerx.

The Smile NYC, 26 Bond Street

This past winter, on one of our buying trips to NYC, we spotted the line of ‘crazy sexy wool’ perusing the wares at The Smile over eggs and cappuccinos. On our next trip we hunted them down and finally visited their lovely boutique on Thompson Street where we got to meet Jade and Aurelie, a couple of cool girls who actually design the pieces.

Wool and the Gang Shop, SOHO NYC

In one kit you receive 100% peruvian wool, one pair of wooden knitting needles, one pattern sewing needle and the customisation material for the pattern.

Stay tuned for details on our knitting party which will be coming up very very soon.

We absolutely love the designs and chunky knits....our favorite is the foxy roxy, no its the snood dog, no its......

Happy Halloween from Homewerx!

Come in the store and check out our Halloween inspired products! From glittery skeletons to a wax skull candle, it's not too late for last minute decorations.

Our favorite picks for any day of the year: Skull cocktail accessories.

Happy Halloween everyone!
