Wow! So many things come to mind when I see this. You can take the bum out of the street but you can’t take… (nevermind)

This would be a great gift for kids. You tell them: Let this bed remind you of what you could be sleeping on if you don’t do well in school!  Cardboad bed pillow and blankets. Pretty cool!

I know I know, it’s not a case for the Ipod touch, but there is no denying that this is one of the sexiest ipod cases you’ve seen  in a while. The old vintage cigarette holders was the main inspiration behind this case.

Want Les Essentiels bring a refreshing look to mens accessories and fashion. I’m extremely fascinated and inspired by the fact that these brothers are twins, both work in fashion, born in Canada and that they are African-Canadian.

I can’t wait to get my hands on some of their products. If you want to see more of the collection or purchase some items online please visit here

I’m also a fan of how they named each one of their products. They all have subtle references to Montreal culture and heritage.  Check out some of the collection below.

This duffel bag has to be 1 of my favorite pieces from the collection.

“Conceived out of a “want” for the highest quality leather goods to house the “essential” professional and
personal products that we use in our modern everyday lives.  WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie exists to
challenge the status quo by offering stylish, functional and affordable alternatives, greatly coveted in an
otherwise saturated accessories landscape.

Inspired by timeless, functional design classics, WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie aims to create a balance
between a traditional style and a modern compatibility.  The brand’s core value, identified on its products
by the ubiquitous gold and silver zipper, is to achieve unity through contrast.

WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie, the must have bag for every season, is transcendent and to the point. Urbane,
chic and distinctive, the technically engineered leather goods collection, hand crafted in Italy from the finest
full grain leather, includes iPod and iPhone cases, computer bags, luggage, briefcases and small leather
goods.  The appendage of new colours; red, chocolate, grey and off white, to the signature Black and Burnt
Henna ensures a style to suit everyone, whilst the leather, enhancing with age, promises longevity. ”

Leathers goods….

I was once told by a pyt that I smell like new leather (in  a good way) (I’m usually rocking a new leather coat)

You got to love LV accessories, they really enhance the look of your newest gadget whether you have the Iphone, Blackberry Curve of the Bang and Olufsen’s bad boy gem. Kanye just pick his own up in Singapore.

Serene’s leather case is made of the most exquisite Nomade leather. The Nomade series is selected for exceptional items of luggage, bags, shoes and accessories. Louis Vuitton has chosen the best cowhide leathers with a totally flawless surface. Tanned with plant extracts, natural cowhide leather develops an elegant copper-toned patina with time. The lining is made of micro fibres and the brushed palladium metallic pieces add a final touch to the total impression. The leather case contains a main compartment for Serene and a front compartment for a Bluetooth headset. It has a removable leather necklace and a belt loop, so you have different options for carrying your Serene, depending on your mood, where you are going, and how much you wish to show… The leather case dresses Serene as Serene deserves, and yet allows easy operation and access to all functionality.

Dress up the BeoSound 2 digital music player with an exclusive leather case and belt set, skilfully crafted to match the quality and materials of BeoSound 2.

The exclusive leather case and belt set, available in red or brown, adds an extra dimension to music on the move, without compromising the intuitive one-touch control of BeoSound 2, of course.

You too could live like Salvatore Ferragamo in these Mango moccasin. These are so hot and I love the colour combo which they are calling Nautico/Blanco. The shoe is calf leather, flexible sole and made in Italy. These could be yours for $440.
