La Cie by STARCK

The LaCie Starck Mobile Hard Drive is the result of a collaboration between LaCie and world-famous designer Philippe Starck. Its sturdy 2mm of aluminum casing keeps the LaCie Starck from overheating, and helps it to be very resistant, enhancing its overall dependability. The polished aluminum exterior is stylish and tough, but also light enough to transport, making the LaCie Starck both completely chic and completely mobile.

A convenient aspect of the LaCie Starck is its embedded USB cable, which allows you to maximize its compact nature and portability. It’s easy to extract your cable, as well as coil it back inside of the drive. In addition, it guarantees that you’ll never lose your USB cable—a feature that underscores Philippe Starck’s commitment to practical and usable design.

Bags of fun - Mulberry x Apple

Designed by Mulberry…made for Apple! From Sunday 1 November you will find a very special collection of Mulberry bags made especially for Apple’s best-sellers. The MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPod, and iPod Nano have all been given special fashion treatment with laptop bags, laptop sleeves and mini cross-body bags.

The nine-piece collection features interpretations of our favourite Mulberry icons such as the Bayswater for women and the Brynmore for men. The coveted exteriors of the bags remain, making the styles instantly recognisable. The inside of the bags has been enhanced with features such as padded laptop sections, phone and music player pockets and eyelet holes for headphone access.

Deciding to do the collaboration was a no-brainer for Mac fanatic Emma Hill, Mulberry's Creative Director. "Apple products are too beautiful to reside in drab bags! Apple and Mulberry share a legacy of craftsmanship,” she says, “and I'm thrilled that we were asked to be Apple's first luxury collaboration.”

Getting Shirty - Gitman Vintage

Gitman Vintage is an American heritage sport-shirt and neckwear line that pays tribute to its past, but with a distinct difference. While continuing to honor the importance of a finely crafted button-down oxford and the indispensable pinpoint, the design team at Gitman dusted off old line books to curate an authentic interpretation of the past by selectively appropriating their favorite fabrics and having them remade (Spring/Summer 2010, for example, is recreated from Spring/Summer 1984).

The line also recreates le mode retro details, including original double-track stitching, chalk buttons, locker-loops, box-pleats and is reissued with the original "Gitman Bros. Est 1978" label.

Available now from Dover street market, End Clothing, and Oi Polloi in the UK
