If Karl can have an exclusively designed iPod trunk case from Louis Vuitton, I don’t think it’s unnatural for Hermès to exclusively design a guitar case for Eric Clapton! I’m actually a fan of Mr Slowhand’s music and I think this luxurious case for his guitar it really isn’t over-the-common-sense-top. What I don’t really understand [...]

You remember Karl Lagerfeld’s iPod addiction? He admitted being so high on iPods that he has someone on his payroll taking dedicated care of his little music boxes… You also must remember something else – Marc Jacobs’ pleasure to do handbags for some people he (allegedly) knows/appreciates.

You already know I love playing with Photoshop every now and then. And it’s for a good cause- laughing our hearts out!

Handcrafted and hand painted according to the designers sketches, the 30 Russian Matryoshkas Dolls measure 60x60x60 and they will be auctioned off for charity. I don’t know if the Russian [...]

I think Hermès is growing attached with the auto industry! They’ve managed to dress up another car’s interior – the Smart For-Two! Whether it’s Bright Red, Charcoal, Ebony, Fuchsia Pink, Gold, H Red, Indigo, Lime, Orange or Sky Blue, the Smart For-Two by Hermès is a handcrafted masterpiece! The upholstery made from leather and Toile [...]

Every now and then, I pride myself with finding new and interesting creations, beautiful little things that could set you a part from all others. Because they’re one of a kind. The same goes for this surprising jewelry from a young (but very talented) designer – Niza Huang and her graduation project called Hello Puppet. [...]
