Cool Hunting
Winepocket, the latest design by California-based Josh Jakus, is one of those products you never knew you needed, but when you discover it, it seems like the perfect solution. I never like spending a decent amount of money on a bottle of wine to see it promptly put into a cheap plastic bag or a crumpled paper. Jakus' Winepocket can either be an extra gift with the wine for the host or you can take it home with you to use for your next invite out. In either case, it can be reused again and again.
We also like the perfect elegance of the design: a piece of felt with a hole cut out, doubling as the opening for the bottle and the bag's handle. You can see this and Jakus' other beautifully minimal felt products at the San Francisco International Gift Fair 28 July-1 August 2007 at booth 6014, and at the New York International Gift Fair, 11-12 August 2007, booth 4012.
Available here for $29.

Contrasting the warmth and rich tones of wood with lucite's sleek modernist appeal, these bangles are made by Brooklyn-based furniture studio Perfido Design.

You can get them in a variety of wood/lucite combinations from Perfido Design...
From tricked-out messengers to a rebirth of the proper satchel, men's bags are experiencing a design evolution and losing their stigma as sitcom fodder. Evolving to accomodate the gadget- (or diaper-) toting needs of the modern male, we've rounded-up 12 of our favorite daybags. Ting Small Canvas Satchel Inghua Ting set up her company in London in 2000 after graduating from the Royal College...
As the search for thoughtful Mother's Day gifts heats up this week, I am...accessories provide a fashionable solution.
