Most of you reading this will know about the work of Aaron Draplin (and his Draplin Design Co.) the man is already a living legend in many peoples eyes – championing the ‘Midwestern’ style, exuding enthusiasm, truly a larger-than-life character. His Field notes brand is a global success story and this insight into his personal collection is a hint at why. He just loves this stuff.

His merch offering is also impressive, with a great attention to detail and tone of voice. My ‘hair organizer’ arrived in the post this morning and its hard not to raise a smile at. In fact, while you’re buying yourself a coin purse do yourself a favour and give over 50 minutes to watch his Creative Mornings talk. Nice one Aaron!
