Nothing like a trip to Kinokuniya and a rainy Sunday night to get the creative juices flowing again…

cambridge satchel co.
This week I am obsessing over these satchels from The Cambridge Satchel Co.
Available in every colour leather you can imagine (including fluoro and even METALLIC) you can also get them stamped with your initials! Super special! (ps. if anyone’s listening the bronze at the top is my favourite)
obsessing
My housemate, Jill and I have recently become obsessed with making friendship bands. We haven’t actually started any yet, but it’s about to happen in a big way. Just like ‘96 all over again.

How cute are these kids (/anyone) toys from Swedish creative powerhouse Acne? They have launched Acne JR to release modern, iconic toys with a bit of a traditional Scandinavian edge. Rad!

semi perms 2
Semi Permanent is over for another year, and I was very pleased to be included in the official book (which is a snazzy hard-cover this year) which accompanies the conference. Definite highlights included W$YK and The Alt Group from Auckland. It’s all left me feeling very inspired this week!

herbert leupin
Herbert Leupin was a prolific Swiss graphic designer, whose signature crisp and colourful posters are a huge influence on me, and typical of the Basel School Style I adore from the 1930s - 1950s. These are just a couple from his large body of work. Don’t they just make your eyes feel great?
