leather for lunch


I remember stumbling across this picture of a red Jil Sander leather lunch bag and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Now, I know that this novelty of the luxury lunch bag may be wearing off but I'm still trying to find an alternative. This particular clutch has this great shape where it has the perfect balance of structure and 'slouch' and it can virtually be paired with any outfit. I think I might have to rush out and get some supplies and make my own before this whole craze of the leather lunch bag diminishes.

christian dior's first flagship store opens in sydney

Sorry for the absence for the past week and a half, life has certainly been hectic. Today, Christian Dior opened its doors to its first flagship store in Sydney. I certainly do have a passion for interior design and I was not surprised that Dior has brought a French influence into its decor. A classic neutral palette, accented walls and silk carpet - incredibly reminiscent of the Parisian luxury strip and their apartments. This impressive, multi-level store would definitely have one of the best interiors, the other being Burberry on George St.

As well as bringing a Peter Marino designed store onto the corner of Castlereagh and King streets, Dior also boasts a collection of leather goods, ready-to-wear, a shoe salon  and a wall of jewellery and timepieces from Dior's couture legacy. They are also offering the complete men's collection as well. Also exclusive to this Sydney flagship store are two limited edition pieces which includes the iconic Lady Dior in an unapologetic shade of pink and a satin dress adorned with roses.

For those living for visiting Sydney, perhaps take a small trip to the luxury strip of Paris (although it is appointment only) and admire the impeccably designed surroundings. Are there any anticipated store openings where you live and what are your favourite store interiors?
