FLORENCE

22/11/2012

At Art Bar for some pre dinner drinks...we barely walked out of that place without stumbling. It was a must after the intense sourcing week in Bologna.

This little guy will appear in the new scarf designs we are working on. Martin and I have this theory (perhaps we should do a little research) that horses must have been tied to these rings when parked...

caffè cavalli.

The beautiful ceiling at the Farmacia Santa Maria Novella.

A nice architectural detail with an office peeking through the ceiling from the above floor!

The old school way of checking out with a nice touch...

Our steaks being prepared in clear view at Trattoria Mario's - hands down our favourite lunch place in Florence!

We love the China Blue hand painted tiles.

I really wanted to bring her home.. she is by far the happiest head portrait statue that I have ever come across.

Entering the tourist madness by the Domo.

Coffe break at the Gucci Museum caffe.

Beautiful studded doors at Piazza Maggiore

Wool and leather combo...we thought this finish could be really cool for an oversized tote

Collaboration in the making....

Picking up some fresh fruit and vegetables at the market

More studs...this time on the sides of the steps...a chic and clever way to let you know that sitting is not permitted

ELA'S BAG

09/11/2012

Today I am brining just the essentials 1. Editor's pouch in nude stud 2. I have been using the small silver stud editor's pouch as my wallet 3. Tom Ford lipstick in Wild Ginger that I have received as a gift on my wedding day from dear friend and make-up artist Mar Gordon (www.margordon.com) 4. Iphone - traveling office 5. Well Kept wipes for my phone and computer - our friend Annie got us hooked of these 6. Nars lip action in colour Eros - a gift from our dear friend Rachel who spoiled us rotten on our last visit to Brooklyn with all kinds of her favourite goodies

As you may already know Martin and I wear and make these positive/creative (and often colourful) Japanese bands. They remind us to to stay positive, creative, humble, and grateful. We would love to share them with you so in the next few weeks (just in time for the holidays - fingers crossed!) we will be launching a collection of hers/his Japanese bands with rosegold and gunmetal closures. We can't wait!!!

LITTLE WILD THINGS

30/10/2012

We have received this image courtesy of the Narwhal boutique and had to share it with you. Clearly with great taste a little wild thing going after the graphite stud editors pouch...just in time for Halloween. It not only fits an Ipad but also loads of candy!
