Marc Jacobs is closing its Mount Street store, according to Business of Fashion.

This is such sad news!

As BOF reports, when the store opened in 2007, it kicked off the reinvention of Mount Street as a luxury retail destination.

I like the way Sophie Hulme is doing it, with her new personalisation service. These appliqued leather letter placements (above) are part of her signature service that’s been unveiled at the equally new Burlington Arcade boutique. Made from stacked and compacted saddle leather, the raised letters sit on the surface of the bag making a visual statement. (more…)

Jenny Lyons apartment decor

My bags are packed and I’m ready and waiting to move in with Jenna!

How fabulous is Jenna Lyons‘ apartment? The New York Times T magazine has the whole feature but if you only want pics, here’s the low-down. Blush pink velvet seating, Cy Twombly art, an Hermes-covered screen and an overall Paris-modern vibe.

I’m going to go to bed dreaming of that Breccia Capraia marble bathroom (more…)
