Since mid-November, the New Museum Store has invited a cast of creatives to set up shop in its window on the Bowery for its She's Crafty project. Participating artists include friend of OC Maggie Lee, Julia Chiang, and the queen of crochet Arielle de Pinto, whose line we carry right here at OC! When we heard that Arielle would be customizing anything and everything that visitors brought her, we knew we had to ask her to do her thing on an OC tote bag. Have a look below!
