Nike limited edition suede and rope tote bag

this is a pretty cool tote bag, designed and produced in limited edition for nike by new york agency ceft and company. its made of ubber thick shoe leather and has nike’s iconic laser burned logo on the back. the rope handles are adjustable and simple enough, but best of all you can get your initials hand lettered on the front tab so you will never again forget your own name (can someone tell me what is the point of this? its not like if your bag is ever lost some will know who the hell you are by your initials! let alone who returns bags anymore especially if they are cool). in any case as far as a simple but graceful tote is concerned, its a great substitute for one of those horrible computer bags or just a vessel to log around your useless possessions around town. good luck finding one. by xy

she was always a favorite of mine, despite her missouri upbringing… from the early days she appeared as the young girl in the parada campaigns to her current state. now of course she is a full fledged environmentalist and nothing suits her better than her natural skin. by dd

mister tom ford in french playboy

 

ok the man is cool we got that. confirmation by photographer mathias vriens. too bad the french edition of playboy as we knew it is gone. i guess another example of how good/better work doesn’t necessarily make much money or sell… at least not to truck drivers that is. by dd
