As long as a necktie isn't involved, we support piano accessories. Local artist and self-described "failed keyboard player" Michelle Dela Paz of ILIKEITTOOTOO turned her fascination with the aesthetic side of the instrument into a collection of handcrafted wallets and pouches. "I have a major affinity for all things '80s — the music, the outlandish, over-the-top fashion. And there's just something really retro-futuristic, and nerdy, and cool about the way keyboards and synthesizers look that I'm really drawn to." Flock of Seagulls would be proud of her silk-screened Keyboard Zipper Pouch, available in rad colors such as Bright Bright Yellow and Watermelon and lined with vintage fabric.
