Pet Project

Everyone knows you’re a cat lover.

Not in a creepy, the-more-the-merrier, I’m-lonely sort of way, of course. More in an aren’t-animals-great kind of manner.

Which means you already have worlds in common with Mary Helt, the designer behind Mary Ink. Her line of sweetly simple solid-color and striped tees features some of nature’s more majestic creatures (partridges, turtles, birds) — as well as some of humankind’s contributions to the world (maps, mermaids, St. Michel).

Helt, who owns two cats herself, gives her furry friends props in the form of a jewelry-swaddled cartoon kitty featured prominently in her collection of coordinating totes. Sling one of these over your shoulder, and you’re sure to get the thumbs up from all who see it.

As for what the menagerie at home will think?

They’re sure to say it’s the cat’s meow.
