In fact, i am feeling a Chanel graffiti attack coming on right now. The democratisation of luxury? A fine comment on haute brands? either way. It rocks.

VINTAGE JEWELLERY CONTAINERS
I came across these vintage containers on etsy recently and love them. The colours, the shapes and the scratches all add a little je ne sais quoi.
The peachy pinks and salmons are so lush. I think maybe they are pocket watch boxes.

NOVELTY BAGS ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD
Designers are finally starting to get a bit of a sense of humour. Leading the pack is Giles Deacon recently, treading along the pathway paved by the queen... Vivien Westwood.
Giles on the street. Who is this eccentric lady who has actually bought this bag and is using it on the streets of milan?

PORTER CARD CASES
Speaking of old-skool, i really love these luxury leather cases by Porter. The Japanese genius' truly understand the art of restraint. No hardware, minimal luxury details and a focus on materials is what these are all about. I particularly love the colour choices... the yellow one is the one i have my eye on.

PROENZA SCHOULER SATCHEL
This was my favourite bag of the moment about a week ago, its the luscious Proenza Schouler satchel. Its understated, classic and you can't go wrong with the colour. I'm not sure what my favourite bag is right this moment, I think its the humble canvas shopper which i have a new appreciation for.
I still love it though, i think i have convinced myself not to like it so much because i would never be able to afford it.

RE ENFORCED CANVAS SHOPPER
Its friday yay. I found this image on the sartorialist. I'm not sure exactly what is actually going on with the canvas shopper but it gave me the idea to stitch on re-enforced leather corners onto an old canvas bag. The combination of disposable and precious really appeals to me.
I might give this a go this weekend.

FENDI BAGS INSIDE OUT
These current Fendi bags are a design classic. This season sees them transform from the inside out. The subtle luxury of the brand is hidden on the inside of the bag, luscious leather and microscopic beading adorns the inside rather than the outside.
Of course we all know that the bags are carried 'open' letting it all hang out is a fashion must for all the ladies lucky enough to sport one of these. Who cares if you lose your blackberry, just buy a new one!
Hidden luxury is in, ostentation (is that a word?) is sort of sliding out.
Not necessarily a key trend in China but just wait, its taking off.

CLAIRE VIVIER
These are Claire Vivier's iphone pouches. I just love them.
Made from delicate suede with gold hardware, they are so romantic and have a definite vintage feel, but with the mod cons.
Lovelovelove this product. Its only US$135 which i think is damned good for such a beautiful piece. You can check out more of her stuff on http://seevivier.com
