"Yes dolls, I really did just say Lands&amp;#x27; End and chic in the same headline. The traditional brand that was my go-to for winter coats and backpacks in my middle school days has just introduced a new line called Canvas, and I think you&amp;#x27;re going to love it. Get a sneak peek, after the jump. Lands&amp;#x27; End Canvas just hit landsend.com yesterday (they were so excited about their spring collection, they&amp;#x27;re giving shoppers a little sneak peek of it now), and it&amp;#x27;s being called &amp;quot;a new chapter in a storied brand.&amp;quot; Translation: the quality you expect from Lands&amp;#x27; End, but with a younger, hipper, more vintage-inspired and utilitarian-chic feel. I got a chance to meet the women&amp;#x27;s design director, Lan Tran Ta, at the presentation last night, and she told me they were pretty firm about creating pieces that still looked and felt like they came from Lands&amp;#x27; End. Check some of them out: The denim is much more fashion-forward than I was expecting--and all of it is under $50!

My mother has been wearing Lands&amp;#x27; End swimsuits exclusively for as long as I can remember, and that&amp;#x27;s because they are so damn good at fit. They&amp;#x27;ve taken that same great philosophy to Canvas, with a slew of retro-glam maillots and bikinis, which are also sold as separates. The prices are good--skirts are around $50, dresses $70, there are even a few coats for under $100--and I&amp;#x27;m definitely feeling its vibe. How about you dolls? Will you check out Lands&amp;#x27; End Canvas? Are you surprised that&amp;#x27;s where these pieces are from? Discuss!
