NOT A GOOD TRAVEL BAG

This is not really a great travel bag for when travelling across international borders. It reads "this bag contains a gun, a bomb, a very large knife and loads of drugs". Unless of course you are planning a very sophisticated version of reverse psychology.

CHALK BOARD BAG

Somewhere handy to keep the shopping list when you head out to pick up some groceries.

JACK SPADE PRINTED WALLETS

Jack Spade always has little quirks in products which bring a smile to the face. Using latest technology in photo printing onto leather are these little wallets or card holders. As seen at Capsule tradeshow in Las Vegas last week. I particularly like the gaffer tape printed wallet, a clever take on the DIY version. I also posted this on my tape blog for those of you who haven't seen it, click here: http://ilovestickytape.blogspot.com/

This is a regular plastic shopping bag turned into a crafted basket with a bit of surface decoration. They are by an artist called Josh Blackwell and the project is called 'plastic baskets'. I like it alot

POLKA DOT PLASTIC BAG

Its just a plastic shopping back, but it has style. It reminds me of the comme des garcons wallet that i want. Maybe i'll have to make do with the plastic bag.

GHONGJORD BAGS

I have discovered this new bag brand which i really love. their website is amazing cool and clean too. I am jealous of this company! they do some nice stuff.

Take this simple ruck sack for example. it is clean and sharp and it looks very comfortable. Its the perfect balance between fashion and function. It also has a bit of a 70s flavour about it.

I really also love that it has nice shiny brass hardware and a nice structured back handle to grab it by and sling over one shoulder. I thought the brand name sounded a bit chinese and i was right, it is a buddhist saying which is about something sustainabity - check it out yourself on their website: http://ghongjord.com

I think it is a japanese, germany based designer. Talk about some nice design genes!
