Fashion + Shopping: Ship & Shape

Ship & Shape summer collection

Instead of selling their wares in brick-and-mortar shops or on Etsy, a band of local artists and designers joined forces for their own e-commerce site, Ship & Shape. The group launches a new, limited-edition collection quarterly, and last week saw the launch of their latest -- a summery, carefully curated grouping of bright beaded jewelry, printed cotton scarves, and ceramics that are more artful than crafty.

Vendor co-op Band of Thrifters is throwing a Summer Garden Party, with an overflowing stock of summer threads for men and women. (Noon-5 p.m. Sat. Scout, 2101 E. 38th St., Mpls.)
