Salvor Kiosk: Mexico by Letizia Rossi

Salvor Kiosk, a New York-based concept store, always keeps things interesting with their rotating selection of goods sourced from foreign lands. Their past collections of objects from Sweden and Japan are delightful, straightforward objects, functioning as antidotes to over-design. The latest crop from Mexico includes a variety of inexpensive functional objects, like this notebook, set of erasers and box of rubber-bands, which all bear Salvor's trademark aesthetic mix that finds elegant, beautiful design in the most humble of objects. The Mexico Collection should be available online later this week.

Rock N' Clothing Tees
The collectable desirability of vintage Rock and Roll t-shirts nears that of sneakers. In the case of the Rock shirts however, the thinner and closer the garment is to the end of its life the better. A Mötley Crüe tee, owned by a slightly chubby and sadly misunderstood teenager, only to be used later by her mother to clean toilets, simply adds to the...
