Vancouver designer Stephanie Schneider works with waxed cotton and leather. The minimalist style and quality workmanship of her line, Glasnost, is timeless and strong and totally built to last. “Inspired by necessity, and designed to be practical and functional”, Glasnost coats, aprons, back packs and wallets are handmade in a little East Van studio. Scout took a short tour of the Glasnost workspace this week and immediately fell for a navy waxed cotton Parachute coat ($400), a small and simple snap wallet ($50), and a new line of Roll Top Backpacks ($225). Because Stephanie makes everything by hand, batches are small and get snapped up quickly. If you’re interested in checking Glasnost out, make a stop in to see Stephanie at Circle Craft this weekend or visit her at Make It at the end of the month.

Wish they made the ‘Rain Kite’ in deep navy. This one looks fantastic, but the Kite fits my wallet much better. lol.
