We at Put This On love our patchwork workwear and wabi-sabi goodness, but we also recognize that dressing like a Japanese mountain hermit isn’t always the most appropriate.

Check out some of the modernist accessories in our shop, where you’ll find things such as sterling silver cufflinks and simple tie bars. These understated pieces will undoubtedly help tie your outfit together (or your home, as is the case with these handsome carving knives). Egg chair not included.
