Stainless Steel with matte finish. A durable accessory for any kitchen, bar, or barbeque. The Blomus Strato bottle opener, with its contemporary, stainless steel design makes the most amateur bartender look like a pro. Available here for about $10.
While we don’t exercise much, we know how to work up a sweat scouring the hottest in design, culture and style. That’s why we recommend this gym set by Louis Vuitton. It goes for $320 and screams “My style will take you down.”
Makr is a small label designed, founded and run by designer Jason Gregory. This self taught leatherworker from Florida started making his first leather goods out of a beautiful antique leather camera bag that was passed down to him from his grandfather. At that time, he had been working for a local architecture firm that owned an industrial laser that was used to cut materials for building models. Wanting to make something that he could carry around and use all the time, Gregory experimented with the laser and leather. After much trial and error, he perfected his technique for creating beautiful, handmade wallets.
Still going strong four years after his initial launch, Gregory just launched 12 new sets of his leather goods. All products blend the tradition of handcraft with the contemporary. The leather is laser etched, hand sewn an all materials are carefully selected and every item is designed, patterned and cut in house. Pieces are produced in small quantities by an even smaller group of people, and all assembly is done by family-owned companies within the U.S.
Our hearts start to race a little bit every time we find out about some new designs from DB Clay. After much anticipation, DB Clay has released it’s Version 3.1 wallets (check out our previous posts on earlier releases here and here). These eco-friendly designs are PVC Free, water, heat and cold resistant, printed with non toxic inks, free of chlorine chemicals, abrasion resistant, extremely durable and decompose once buried all thanks to a wonderful material called Tope. Purchase a bit of what they call pocket art at DB Clay’s Online Store.
Cute. A term that is used excessively in a modern woman’s vocabulary, but that’s exactly why we love Alex+Chloe’s quirky and creative jewelry designs. With everything from necklaces to bracelets to rings we might have to buy an item or ten. No wonder why Visa sends us Christmas cards.
Simple necklaces featuring single tiny daggers and antler charms are the perfect accessory to any outfit since you can pick from a few different shades of silver and gold. These pieces carry a strong, straight-forward yet feminine statement that almost every girl would obsess about. Alex+Chloe shows us that you can shrink down a knife or a skull, and somehow make it cute and bad ass at the same time.
Log on to their website to check out additional designs and learn more about their pop up store here in Los Angeles through March 13th.

For all you bi-coastal types out there, this is a watch for you. Designed by Karim Rashid, the Bi Watch has two analog faces to keep track of two time zones simultaneously.

Thanks to The Denver Egotist for the tip.
It’s officially Russian day at Neu Black as we continue to score gems from the other side of the globe. We found these fun little salt and pepper shakers by Yaroslav Rassadin and had two immediate thoughts-
1. We’re buying a set of these.
2. We’re obviously prejudiced against pepper, because we insticntively knew it should go in the evil shaker and listen to Black Sabbath.
We had to hunt a bit for these but found them at english distributor Exit for £12.
