A Handbag Steve McQueen Would Adore

Men can’t have a purse. It’s a set-in-stone rule that has been passed down to us for many generations. But with today’s technology and the demand for our iPhones, digital cameras and Blackberries has reached an all-time high. We simply can’t leave the house with keys and a wallet anymore and our pockets can’t hold everything. What’s a homeboy to do?

Easy. Grab a Koffski Set. It’s a wallet and bag that can connect to a shoulder strap that resembles an old-school shoulder holster that detectives wore throughout the 20th century. Pretend you’re Lieutenant Frank Bullitt with a vendetta and nothing left to lose…except your gadgets.

The Most Expensive Cupcake Ever! Nom Nom Nom….

Filed under: Design, Wearables

There’s not a lot known about this delicious looking chocolate cupcake other than three things:

1. It was designed by Judith Leiber.
2. It is jewel-encrusted and full of diamonds.
3. It costs $4295.

Now I believe it acts as an evening bag, so again, I’m assuming most women are throwing things like lipstick, tampons, money and a whole lot of bullshit into this thing. For $5000, why not just get something a little less tacky? I’d certainly take a cupcake from Magnolia of Judith’s any day of the week…

Even if it looks a little too much like a purse to be completely unisex, as the designers claim it to be, the idea is a snazzy one. The Urban Performer Unit is a handbag with slick crystallized controlling, allowing you to operate your iPod from the Swarovski crystal laced surface.

The crystals indicate the iPod’s functions, incorporating an emotional feel to a smart electronic handbag. The bag doesn’t only work with iPod’s, but with most any pieces of mobile gadgets, including your PDA or cellphone. The Urban Performer Unit will be available in Christmas 2008 for the price of about $517.80. (more…)

PitaPocket Is Way Cooler Than A Croissant

We Americans love our carbs. Throw us a piece of bread and you bet your ass we’ll gobble that shit down. Pita might not be the bread of choice in the states, but cool wallets are a novelty that never gets tiring. The Pitapocket is all of the bread goodness, without the empty calories.

Made of cotton, the pita-like wallet allows you to dump all of your change and cocaine into a bread-themed purse. Conceptual? Yes. Tasty? We’ll tell you if it ever sees the light of day. — Andrew Dobrow
