ZOLA JONES | Where they drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola....Z-O-L-A, ZOLA | Bags to change your life

The wild world of the internet gives young designers like myself a chance to connect with other people all over the world doing their part to share their ideas about clothing with us all. A new favorite is my friend Jason Loper, the driving force behind Chicago's Zola Jones Designs. Clever, beautifully constructed and reasonably priced bags are exciting and made with a conscience. Heart, even.

And he blogs too!

His beautiful storefront is waiting for a visit from you. Everyone needs a bag!!! And who wouldn't want the help of such a dapper designer?
