On Karlheinz clipdanglers and everyday carry



Everyday Carry clips

Love a Karlheinz Weinberger clipdangler. That is, a leather clip to dangle from your belt to hang your keys from (in the style of the Karlheinz kids). Not sure that ‘clipdangler’ is an actual word but if it’s not, it should be. I found these ‘clipdanglers’ on the Vintage Showroom blog. They’re selling them at their Earlham Street shop…

Everyday Carry clips

Delvaux luxury handbags arrive at Selfridges

Coming soon: Moschino’s Gennarino iPhone cover



If I was made of tamer stuff I’d have an iPhone by now. I must be the only fashion person still persevering with my BlackBerry Torch but I’ve never been one for peer pressure.

(Anyway, maybe one day, we’ll get a Blackberry-iPhone hybrid.)

If you have an iPhone and a childish inclination towards kitsch plastic, you’ll love Moschino’s new iPhone cover. The Gennarino bear cover comes in brown, yellow or pink and lands in September…
