Kate Spade ‘All Typed Up Clyde’ crossbody satchel

Posted on | Leave a comment

Spade

Sadly, not a working vintage typewriter, but still a talking point – the Kate Spade 'All Typed Up Clyde' crossbody satchel.

It's a very eye-catching retro-styled bag, made of light textured leather, with patent leather handles, an optional strap and of course, featuring those keys, which you want to reach out and press, even on the picture.

Finished off with an exterior zip-around pocket, several interior pockets and a custom jacquard lining, it sells at Nordstrom for $495, or if you are in the UK, £326.47. No, quirky doesn't come cheap in this case.

London, Paris, New York prints by Bianca Gomez

Bianca gomez

A great take on three of the world's great cities, courtesy of Bianca Gomez and her prints of London, Paris and New York. 

Each print depicts a different city in the style of a classic travel poster. While the simple elements are the same in each image – a man in the city, the name of the place running across the print – she manages to inject a bit of personality into each scene. The New York print, for example, looks like its come straight off the cover of a vintage New Yorker magazine, while the London print cleverly uses the font traditionally used for the capital's transport system. The Paris print is suitably full of Gallic charm. 

Each print is A4 sized and you can buy them individually for $30 each, or $75 for a set of three. Alternatively you can get larger individual prints for $60 each.

Amity

If 'creepy' is high on your list of new house requirements, you need to book a viewing for the Amityville Horror house in Long Island, New York.

Back in 1974, Ronald DeFeo Jr shot dead six members of his family in the house. Just a month later,George and Kathleen Lutz, along with their children, replaced them as residents. As the tale goes, they faced a supernatural onslaught, everything from sinister images to slime from the walls and a plague of insects, not to mention being awoken at 3:15am nightly (the time of the killings), with Mr Lutz also claiming to have seen his wife levitate and his daughter seeing a demonlike creature. They fled after less than a month and the rest, as they say, is history.

Ali

Here's an interesting concept – New York brand No Mas has produced a range of t-shirts featuring the names and words of sport's past. Which happens to include this Float Like… t-shirt.

As you've probably guessed, it's inspired by arguably the greatest boxer of all time (and pop culture icon), Muhammad Ali, a vintage-style logo on the front, a catchphrase on the back. If you love your boxing, you might love this too.

Colette carries the range, with a price tag of just under £40 for each one.

Keith Haring fabric patches from the Pop Life exhibition shop

Posted on | Leave a comment

Fabric patches

The exhibition Pop Life opened last week at Tate Modern. The show looks at the impact of Pop Art and how following generations of artists embraced the cult of celebrity and the commercial opportunities it offered. At the centre of the exhibition is a recreation of Keith Haring's Pop Shop which he set up in New York to sell his branded products directly to the public. Of course this means Tate is stocking some great related products, including these fabric patches.  

Reflecting Haring's willingness to put his name to just about anything, they use four of his famous designs, including the baby. They are perfect for adding a touch of street art to a worn, but otherwise loved, item of clothing. At £4.40 each they are a cheap way into buying into a favourite artist and the spirit of the exhibition.
