Save the date How's your Italian? If it's buono, then you know the jewelry line dalla nonna means "from the grandmother." Designers Becca Richards and Jess Bohrer find inspiration from pieces handed down from their mothers or grandmothers. Or, even, granddads -- like this necklace, derived from an old tie pin of Bohrer's grandfather. It keeps a special date close to your heart. Look for the line, $98 to $775, at dallanonnajewelry .com or shopbop.com.


Small matters

Thalé Blanc designer Deborah Sawaf was tired of digging through her purse every time her cell phone rang. So she dreamed up La Pochette. Made of lambskin and exotic skins ($98 to $488), it fits a BlackBerry or iPhone, with credit card pocket in back, key ring hook and long chain, so it can be worn as a cross-body, wristlet, waist-pack or attached to your handbag; at thaleblanc.com.
