The brand Shinola popped up on my radar earlier this fall and it just keeps coming up again and again! Garrett actually first introduced me to the brand and I got to see some of the watches firsthand at the Pop Up Flea in Soho. And then we both had the chance to visit the Shinola store in the city to learn even more about it.
The watches themselves are really quite awesome, but I love the story even more. The product is completely made in America with a factory in Detroit. Bringing back manufacturing to Detroit is just the beginning of Shinola’s mission. I was really impressed with how genuine everyone was and how devoted they all were to the quality of products and the quality of the brand. It quite honestly shows in every detail.
I got Garrett the watch with the green face for Christmas and I’m totally eyeing this one for myself.
The Birdy series has a gorgeous leather strap that wraps around twice. I tried it on in the store and really just fell in love. Typically wouldn’t go for orange… but I like this!

My dad got one from the Detroit store for Hannukah/Christmas. He loves it and gets so many compliments. The store also has some pretty amazing jackets and custom bicycles.
Every morning I wake up and ponder if I should pull the trigger or not. I am a girl, but I still want the green face watch! It is so dreamy, I am obsessed!
These are so cute! I've had such an affinity for all types of watches recently and am obsessed with both mens and womens! Definitely will be checking out Shinola.

Not only do I love the style of these watches, but as a Detroit born girl, I really appreciate a company like Shinola that is dedicated to bringing manufacturing back to the Motor City! I think that alone makes this company worth shopping at. The beautiful design and excellent quality of the watches doesn't hurt either 😉
I've never heard of it! I really like the wrap around watch though! I am a huge fan of watches with leather bands.
I absolutely love these watches, lovely pictures. I love the birds serious especially, so cute!

What beautiful watches! I can definitely see my boyfriend wearing the Runwell Chrono, though I can't afford $950 for a watch… (yet!)

I love these watches! They are so classic and timeless, the one you're eyeing is great! I have a very similar one except its Michael Kors and I love it! It's such a great twist on the classic leather watch. 🙂
