Mini Concept Tokyo
by Josh Rubin
Mini Traveller concept shown at the Frankfurt Auto Show was created as a tribute to the original 1960 Traveller. It's a good looking consideration for how to evolve a Mini to be a better schlepper. Yesterday, at the Tokyo Auto Show, Mini presented an updated Traveller, this time a design exploration focused on the 21st century motoring Englishman. The Mini Concept Tokyo, as they've been calling it, looks like the designers over at Mini have been smoking some Marc Newson weed from a Paul Smith bong. It's so quirky, I kinda like it. Lots of pictures and more details after the jump.
Sea Bags
by Evan Orensten
We spied one of these great totes a friend was carrying and he introduced us to Sea Bags, a small company in Maine that recycles sails and makes bags from them. The one-of-a-kind bags come in three sizes and are made by hand in the Portland, ME shop.
Belleville
by Ami Kealoha
Belleville, like many of Berlin's stores, is a multi-use space that provides more than just innovative fashion for men and women. Look closely at the bird in their logo (a large-scale replica graces the wall of the store) and you'll notice it's composed of mini-icons of death, war, and commerce. Since opening last December they've been hosting events featuring DJs and live music. Stocked with lines like Nudie, Jenny Hellström, the Berlin-based Reality Studio, WeAr and one they publish themselves, there's more than one reason to add Belleville to your Berlin itinerary.
