Inspired by her travels Caitlin Mociun’s line, aptly self titled, is an eclectic bricolage of pattern and concept. The collection named in astrological terminology, revives a cut from the 1980’s and splashes in contemporary patterns to reveal a relaxed and modish look. Available online here.
Inspired by the traditional Klein tool bag, the Billy Kirk carryall and the padded flight bag are hand crafted oiled leather and canvas construction. New adjustments to their original design add leather bound aluminum frame and edged leather removable strap. Two interior canvas pockets allow for small item storage. These bags sell out so fast we could hardly get our hands on them. Pick yours up here.
Although the “halfway between a circle and square” thing is perhaps a bit turn of the millennium, this watch should age well – great design always does. Fine detailing and discerning contrast between thicknesses of line in the design make this a fantastic watch. Add the fact that it’s a chronograph for under $200 there’s not much more to talk about. Stainless-steel case, mineral crystal, and black leather band. If you’re feeling extra adventurous you could get a third party band. Pick it up here for $180.
40 year old fashion icon Alexander McQueen passed away yesterday in his London apartment from what are rumored to be self inflicted wounds. For many of us McQueen’s lines represented a certain theatrical brilliance in fashion. His wildly imaginative pieces heightened the senses and often seemed to border a dream scape. He had the capacity to make us feel glorious, fanciful, and even tarnished at times. Today is no different.
Once again we’re on our never ending search for the perfect laptop bag. We found quite the contender from local LA designer Kill Spencer that has that perfect “secret mission” look. Though we know there’s no secret and everyone at the coffee shop will probably stare and ask where you got this leather and waxed canvas looker, it’s still fun anyway. Pick yours up here for $425.
Shigenobu Twilight was created by artist Anicka Yi and architect Maggie Peng. Inspired by the Fusako Shigenobu, former leader of the Japanese Red Army, who was believed to be in exile in Lebanon for many years after orchestrating some of the group’s most political statements. Yi and Peng have chosen cedar wood as a central theme of this fragrance’s narrative, as cedar is highly regarded in Lebanon as a national emblem. The scent uses three different kinds of cedar wood as its base note, along with violet leaf and nutty heart notes, and top notes of yuzu, shiso leaf, and black pepper. The packaging for this hand-distilled fragrance is made of raw cedar wood, each bottle uniquely (and painstakingly) hand-cut by the creators in architectural geometry, encasing a 10ml glass bottle of liquid within. Available here for $160. Refills available for $80.
