Hartford Denim Company
Handmade and individually crafted in Hartford, Connecticut.
More than just a pair of jeans...
"A story is told by the product itself. A story that continues long after it is tried on, purchased and the tags removed. A story where each bend of the knee, each walk in the rain, each spatter of mud or rust or paint is a new paragraph; every rip, pinch, pull and patch: a punctuation mark. A story told in a language that’s entirely personal and universally understood, recorded forever on a page much stronger than paper."

A Peace Treaty Scarves
New just in - baby alpaca scarves by A Peace Treaty!
Born in 2008, as a personal pact between Farah Malik, a Pakistani
Muslim, and Dana Arbib, a Libyan Jew, A PEACE TREATY creates employment
for skilled artisans working in places of socio-political strife,
effectively supporting their technique and craft while elevating their
products to the level of high design for an exclusive and international
fashion audience.
Inspired by the hand-crafting cultures of the Middle East, Asia, South America and Africa, A PEACE TREATY was conceived when Arbib and Malik met while living in Rome. The two discovered that they shared both a love of high fashion and a desire to increase awareness of ancient, disappearing crafting traditions. Intermingling Arbib’s strong background in graphic, textile and product design with Malik’s history of developing multimedia marketing campaigns for social justice and human rights, they set about connecting discerning fashion connoisseurs with cache, boutique level artifacts from places typically seen only negatively through the media lens.
Each season, A PEACE TREATY travels to a particular region and seeks out local village artisans to re-define an accessory, designing limited edition pieces in style unique colorways. Each jewelry or scarf collection resuscitates ancient handmade textile and metalsmithing techniques that are at risk of extinction. Working with craftspeople in eight countries and injecting life and trade back into local economies, A PEACE TREATY employs artisans with above fair trade wages and invests in creating income generation opportunities for out-of-work artisans, disabled and widowed women.

Going back to school is hard... going back to school in bad weather is even harder.
Fortunately, Loopy Mango's got everything you need for you or anyone you know to go back to school in style and comfort.
Daiichi Rubber Boots:
Hands down the last pair of boots you will ever need. These are the
boot of choice for Japanese fisherman, made to last and of highly
flexible and durable material. Say goodbye to aching ankles that other
brands like Hunter boots cause with their heavy materials. Wear them in
the rain, in the snow, in the slush, in the mud, in any
weather, these boots will keep you dry and are so feather light you'll
feel like dancing. Our favorite part; the flexible material is SO
flexible, you can roll them up (they come with big durable bands
pictured below) and throw them in your bag for later...who else hates
wearing rain boots all day or lugging around a heavy pair to change
into? Problem solved.
Paper goods: Having a diary or a journal leads to a happier life! And studies suggest writing your notes down
(whether for school or in general) helps you process and remember them
better. That being said, e have journals with nautical designs, floral
patterns, "LIFE" notebooks, and even linen journals that can withstand
water. No matter the occasion, your taste, or needs, we've got the
journals and notebooks for you. Stay happy and remember everything you
need to in style. 
Bags: Everyone
needs a good bag. Whether you're carrying it on your shoulder, your
back, or holding it in your hand, especially us New Yorkers - we never
know when we're going to need something, so we better have it on us.
Loopy Mango has a huge collection of both new and vintage bags. We have
modern, stylish backpacks full of color and pattern - impeccably made
with touches of leather. We have vintage, beautiful, mint condition
briefcases, military bags, and trunks. Come find the right bag for you
here! 
Home Goods:
Last but not least, why shouldn't you or your loved one's study area be
just as comfortable as home? Help make it so, with a variety of things
available at Loopy Mango. We've got magnificent, hand made in Chicago,
soy candles from Tatine in a range of sizes and smells that will suit
any budget and even the pickiest nose. Linens and towels to make your
bathroom experience in any dorm or apartment (small or unfortunate as it
may be) more luxurious. And a plethora of other items for the dorm or
apartment like chalkboard paint, hooks, pillows, throws, etc. Whatever
you need... Loopy Mango has it. 
Come see us soon.
