Handcrafted in New York from 100% Italian linen, Pierrepont Hicks’ Jasper bow tie is self-tying and adjustable, some 1 3/4″ at its widest point, and looks incredible. They’ll only set you back $62 too, a bargain in today’s world.
Oliver Peoples frames are pretty much the Holy Grail of optical or sunglass eyewear, so when a new season’s collection comes out it’s a pretty big deal, and their Fall/Winter 2011 crop are something special. As was expected.
Making a stylistic feature of it’s seemingly excessive number of dials, the Grönefeld One Hertz boasts an hours and minutes sub-dial at 2 o’clock, a large sub-dial for the deadbeat seconds spanning much of the face, with a power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock and a setting-winding indicator at 3 o’clock, while its sheer appearance might quickly prove to baffle, you can’t argue it isn’t beautiful. Limited to 20 pieces, and hand-made out of red gold.
“Excuse me sir, you’ve got a suit on your bag.” Each tote a one-of-a-kind, Poketo’s suit bags are made from 100% upcycled clothing and couch leather handles. This one, the Tim, is named after Tim Chan, publisher of the Corduroy Magazine. They’ll fit a laptop, and your other daily essentials, for just $250, with all profits are donated.
If ever there has been a pointless endeavour, it would be carrying bags. If wheels were invented for anything, it would be to wheel our bags, so we don’t have to carry them on our backs or over our shoulders. But don’t worry, because Creatures Of Comfort have you sorted. The Welcome Wagon No. 1 comes out of Laurel Broughton collection of projects, each is numbered and produced in a limited edition in Los Angeles, though we’re a little dubious about how much wear and tear it’ll take. Available in their LA or NYC stores, or via mail order.
Shot on sumptuously roughed up 8mm film, Warriors Of Radness‘ short for their new Marina Del Rey collection. Directed by Jack Coleman, it’s as much an ode to LA part of town as it is the clothes, which is fine by us.
I’ve never more wanted to be a three-year-old than now. Possibly the coolest coat a toddler could own, with a lion head hood, claw tipped sleeves and yarn tail and mane, it’s made of a golden yellow wool blend and fully lined for extra warmth. They can do custom size arms too. If you’re quick, you can grab one on Etsy here.
Made in London, though probably not by co-founder Alison Lloyd herself, Ally Capellino’s Rocky wallets come in three gorgeous tanned leather variants and will ably hold all the cards, notes or loose change you need, the latter kept in check by a handy press stud. They’re £78, and come without a zip. Hurrah.
In a colour wonderfully named ‘bison chestnut’, Moore & Giles‘ Dillard Commuter ($660) is more than your average messenger. In a rich and durable leather, the bag offers up a zippered main compartment with a 53-inch adjustable strap, top handles and two exterior pouch pockets to boot. There’s a divider inside too.
