Vote for the Wolfepack by Boston's Gina deWolfe

Time to drum up support for my hometown! More precisely, for Boston leather goods designer Gina deWolfe and her cleverly named backpack, the Wolfepack. Sleek, minimalist and well priced at $350, the Wolfepack is one of five finalists for an Independent Handbag Designer Award, and deWolfe needs our help to take the lead.

The winners of the international design competition will be chosen at a ceremony in New York on June 17th. In the meantime, InStyle is hosting a Fan Favorite competition here. Scroll down to The "BERNINA Best Handmade Handbag" category to vote for deWolfe, and be sure to check out all the other independent talent while you're there.

Good luck, Gina!
