\"Mollie-Culligan\"<\/a>Just as I’ve been toting around my attention-grabbing Jack Rabbit Collection Buff Easy Rider Hobo<\/a>, I discovered that the award-winning designer behind the brand, Mollie Culligan<\/a>, has moved on to bigger things.<\/p>\n

She’s now heading up the newly created accessories<\/a> division for Alternative Apparel<\/a>. The accessories collection will have its official launch in the Spring, and will include three series:
\n–Scout<\/strong> – “Calvary-inspired weekenders, oversized totes and hand-woven fringed bags in tumbled vintaged canvas and weathered leather”
\n–Acoustic<\/strong> – a “daring-yet-comfortable, 70’s-influenced compilation” of “over-washed denim duffles, suede hobos and cognac leather trim cross-bodies”
\n–Poppy<\/strong> – a “youthful assortment of backpacks, market totes and mini-travelers in playful shades”<\/p>\n

But you can shop a few styles now for the holidays!<\/p>\n
