Hello There,
My name is Vincent and I am the designer/founder of  Skinny Vinny. Design Glut asked if I would like to contribute and informally blog about my adventures on here. My answer, Heck yes!
I’m really flattered that they asked me and I hope my adventures are up to par with the ones they have all the time.
Skinny Vinny is a Design Studio based in Brooklyn. We currently have a collection of utilitarian bags out on the market. We will soon add more bags to that collection and also working on some side projects. Stay tuned and I hope you find our stories interesting.
