While prowling Pike Place Market [0] one day for lunch I stopped by Fini [0], the tiny accessories boutique that shares a courtyard with the Inn at the Market [0]. There I discovered something truly amazing: cute faux-leather goods at affordable prices.
The collection is by a Canadian company, ESPE. The group includes a compact mirror ($15), luggage tag ($15), wristlet/coin purse ($20), credit card holder ($22), journal ($22) and wallet ($45), available in black, white, aqua, lime green and bright pink. Each piece is decorated with an appliquéd synthetic-leather daisy and ladybug in contrasting colors. At these prices you can treat yourself and buy gifts, too.
