Things We Love for Spring in Pittsburgh
Home editor Jessica Sinichak finds local gems you’ll obsess over.
The New LBD
Made by hand in Pittsburgh, the crocodile-embossed Sylvia Box Bag is a timeless classic to rival the Little Black Dress. The box-shaped body is big enough to hold the essentials — but small enough to carry with ease.

Bright Idea
Pittsburgh’s own Andy Warhol would love this chunky knit sweater that doubles as pop art. Featuring the word SCARF in a repeating jacquard pattern, the reversible scarf can be worn long or wrapped up like a cowl for extra warmth.

Dolly Approved
Just like Dolly Parton, this organic body butter by Una Biologicals is feminine, sparkly and out to do good. Made with mango butter, ylang ylang oil and frangipani petals, Diamond Girl is part of Una Biological’s Community Give Back program. With each sale, $5 is donated to a local nonprofit that supports women and girls.
