The title I had in mind was, The _7 Experiment, in corresponding with The V-A Experiment posted earlier. Since I failed to get my hands on that leather bag, I would just go along with what everybody else had been doing, it's a bit late but still. Hello 2011!
And no, I didn't want the bag that badly, yes, I am certain, no it's not the bag that I've been after, no it has no external pockets, so no, I didn't want it, and no I don't want it but umm.. I probably would like to have it... Urgh.
I certainly am not trying to turn this into a monthly blog, I am a busy man I guess, yeah well maybe not.
A quick recap, this knit by Kumagai which was shown in the previous post was actually fantastically inspirational, its texture and seams and everything.
I'm kinda getting sick of my Headporter coin case and stumbled across this. Hand-made in London out of some paper-ish material. The material is definitely innovative, not something I see very often, and the tactile feeling exceeds many leather wallets/bags/purses that are offered on the market these days, the design is minimal, beautiful texture and colour dye, I certainly enjoyed the product the moment I received it, why wouldn't I, plus the fact that it's not overly expensive. However I can't really say this is the wallet for life because.. Well.. It's made out of paper.. So um, there you go...
Another laptop is finally in possession, I have to thank a numerous people for the effort and the trouble they had all gone through in obtaining and delivering this thing for me. I am very very grateful, I say I love you from the very bottom of my heart and I wish you a very very wonderful year ahead.
I used to flip through i-D, Wallpaper and even GQ and such on a regular basis. These days I just don't spend much time reading magazines for obvious reasons. Monocle is one of the very few I would still purchase, not monthly but from time to time. Dazed and Confused january features a Raf Simons' 15 years anniversary special, which is the only reason why I bought the copy, despite the fact that the name "Raf Simons" no longer means what it meant to me once, and it's extremely sad to see him being dumped by Futurepresent.. Anyways, it's been bloody ages since I last read any Dazed, surprisingly, the contents are even worse now...


I needed a bigger pouch so here it is. The second Eastpak collaboration item I've bought now. I might be imagining things but somehow I think I read it somewhere that it says this is of some "techno fabrics", I've got no idea what the fuck it means and that is a crappy shot, I was hoping to find the source but couldn't, I was probably imagining it at the end of the day.
Lamb leather, fully lined, looks great, feels great, fits great. The colour however, isn't great. Yeah, it's not black, it's not grey, it's not charcoal, well taking a closer look it is great actually, can't really make it work for the rest of my closet that's all. I couldn't believe there's such discrepancy. Now I lost a piece of my multi-piece and this needs to go, it's just so great.
I love ramie. Period.
Not a new belt.
Now we are talking. Thank you.
I hope you are gona enjoy your time here in London and I'm sure you can take care of yourself, was great to see you thanks for the set kiddo.
Ta-da!
Ciao.
