Conundrum - An experience related to picking which rich color you want. Go bright with orange, crimson, green, or blue (clean lines make them less outrageous) or classic with mustard, brown, tan, or black.
Home - Where Gryson keeps it close. Bags are named for Tribeca streets (Chambers, Duane, North Moore); 3 percent of wholesale proceeds go to NYC nonprofits.
