Second Life
The jewelry of KVAST has such great detail and that amazing handmade feel. Case-and-point is the tape used to connect the item and loop is left on before being glazed.
"The 24 Carat Pets used to be second hand toys or collector's items, made from wood, plastic and porcelain. We collected them on fleamarkets, attics and in second hand shops and attached a loop to each of them - using different methods, such as tape, string and tie-wrap. A glaze of pure 24 carat gold holds the pendant and the loop together and transforms them into magnificent and unique pieces of jewelry."

Book Bag
Goyard reveals the limited-edition book that is a decade in the making - as lush in its fabrication as the history of the brand.
"The book includes the history of the Goyard family — the achievements during the Paris Expo Universelle in 1900 and the creation of the noble facade of the Paris store. But it is more generally about the art of travel and its blossoming in the 20th century from early trains to grand hotels.
'The book is about sight, sound, smell, touch,” says Mr. Tzenkoff. “It was important to communicate an emotion in the paper itself. The same touch can be found on the trunk as on the paper. Its beauty appeals to our senses permanently.'”

Unlock The City
I have been hearing about this project, and it is now finally open. Created by Paul Ramirez, Key to the City is an amazing collaborative project that goes deeper into the history of the five boroughs of New York. Part scavenger hunt and tourist map, Key to the City brings a new way to see those monuments and secret places that are not exactly on the map.
