J Fold now available at Tigertree!

New York's J Fold is the creator of the original sports wallet.  No plastic inserts or bulky compartments here; just sleek, durable top grain leather in slim silhouettes.  Turns out they make a hell of a bag as well.  We are excited to have our first shipment of the brand on the floor at Tigertree this week!  The superslim bifold wallet is made of 100% top grain leather which will wear in and patina over...

Thanks for all the support in 2010!

I wanted to take a quick second to thank everyone for their amazing support of Tigertree over the past year.  2010 saw the launch of our e-commerce website, our summer Tigertree Cafe, Mods Vs. Rockers events, and that little project called Wonderland.  We were really honored to finish off the year by being voted Best Store from Columbus Underground for the second year in a row.  We have a lot of...

Shout Out in Out (Magazine)

  The boys from Out magazine stopped by the store again recently en route to Hocking Hills.  They featured Tigertree and Jeni's back in the August issue of the magazine and apparently still had an itch for book belt buckles and amazing ice cream!  You can see the shout out to both on the Out Traveler website.

Quite Possibly the Best Reusable Shopping Bag Ever.

 It takes a lot to impress me when it comes to reusable shopping bags.  For the last couple years, I have used my trusty flip and tumble bags; they are sturdy, compact and come in great colors.  All sorts of new reusable bags have come onto the market and I have not batted an eye; until now. Meet the amazingly adorable bunny bags!  We just got these in today in 10 colors!  The...

Heritage Leather for Tigertree Exclusive

  We have been fans of the classic Heritage Leather mason bags for quite a while.  We love the classic white canvas look, but we thought, wouldn't it be great if they were more... Tigertree? Josh pulled some strings with the kind folks at Heritage and they are now making these colored bags exclusively for us!     We are offering the bags in colored wool felt (mustard, olive and grey) and canvas...

Flip Flaps!

People ask us all the time how we decide what to carry in the store.  In the case of Flip Flaps, the love affair started one very late night in the New York, New York arcade in Vegas.  Josh was trying to win a new phone or wii game when I noticed a tiny frog in the prize line up, soothingly bobbing his head back and forth.  I made Josh...

Food Cart Food Court

Sorry for two food related posts in a row, but we wanted to say thanks to everyone that came out to The Food Cart Food Court at Wonderland on Sunday to hear a little bit about what is going on with the project and get some great food.   Mike Beaumont put together this little gem in case you missed it.   Wonderland Food Truck Food Court from Mike Beaumont on Vimeo.

Street Food

Josh and I love eating. We especially love eating street food. We have hosted Foodie Cart in front of the shop every Saturday afternoon for the past couple of months with the guise of helping another local business, but really we just wanted crepes at our disposal all afternoon. Kenny and Misako were even kind enough to create a crepe just for Tigertree Saturdays- The Tigertree BLT (and E&C) (that's...

we are nothing if not subtle

We have a smallish storefront. My parents can never find it when they visit.  "Mom, there is a chicken machine out front!" I say.  But they still drive right by. Well, I think we have put a stop to that.  It took four coats to get the yellow solid enough.  Even as I was painting, we were getting the ususal "where are you located" calls and Josh was responding "Its the yellow...
