Couldn’t We Ride
The Art & Craft of the Bicycle 

right around the corner

The bicycles are coming! The bicycles are coming!

Couldn't We Ride an exhibit spotlighting the art and craft of the bicycle, opens July 1^st, 2010, at Quirk. From a child's eyes, a bicycle is the ultimate gateway to freedom. They can go wherever they want, however fast they choose. Perhaps it is the feeling of freedom one gets when riding a bicycle that makes them such a nostalgic symbol. Perhaps it is because of the endless possibilities bicycles allow us. We have gathered a group of artists that Quirk believes have combined creativity and problem solving with beauty and functionality to produce bicycles and accessories that reach the highest level of craft and design. The exhibition will showcase work that demonstrates the elegance and importance of handmade items in everyday life.

GOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!

We're into the World Cup just as much as the next gallery.

Lizzie Sunglasses are here!

LIZZIE SUNGLASSES

We stumbled upon some tinted vintage safety glasses in Bushwick in 2008 and thought that they not only looked rad but were designed incredibly well. After wearing them around for a few weeks, and fielding countless questions about where we found them, we've updated and modified the design in hopes of sharing these classic shapes with everyone. We like to think of them as a modern spin on NoIR Laser Shields. Each pair is impact resistant (naturally) and comes with its own custom case.

- Crews' Duramass scratch-resistant coating
- ANSI Z87.1 Safety Standard compliant
- 99.9% UV Protected
- custom urethane dip for colored earpieces*
- custom Waterproof Witz Lens Locker case with carabiner

Lens Size: 48mm
Frame Width: 5 1/2"
Frame Height: 1 7/8"

OMG I'm in love...

These bangles just arrived from one of our favorites, Claire McDermott.

Claire uses the most unexpected found objects and mounts them in sterling silver to create amazing charms for her bangles. From bottle caps, to spray paint nozzles, to guitar pics, each charm is strangely nostalgic. Maggie and I immediately knew we had to have them for ourselves - don't worry, there are plenty to go around!

$90 each, so you can pile them on.
