A Glimpse at FINSK

I owe susie bubble big time for nicking her hard-earned preview of these incredible FINSK shoes from the 'Skylab' A/W 09 collection. I had to. I can't even talk after looking at them! I KNOW they are going to be exxie but I am saving ... I HAVE to get a pair. I've never felt quite like this about a pair of shoes - ever.

Mad Bags

Mad Imports is a socially & environmentally responsible company that produce handmade handbags in Madagascar & Kenya. Their vibrant accessories blend the traditional and contemporary design ideas of local artisans who incorporate renewable raw materials to create original clutches, totes and shoulder bags. Buying Mad Imports's products enables producer families to gain economic independence and also has a limited environmental impact.

Tusk shoulder bag. Celebrates the rich materials and artistry of Kenyan weaving. It features sisal, wood, leather trim and a braided and pieced suede fringe strap adorned with wood beads and bone details. It's a damn shame this baby is sold out.

Opal Clutch and Carmen Clutch (below) - these guys are HUGE. I am lusting after them. Gorgeous.

Save the butterflies' habitat tee

I found Mika Organic a while ago on beklina.com and rediscovered her last night on inhabitat. She uses silkscreen printing to create her designs on organic and sustainable fabrics.
Although I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea I think she's bloody creative and I just LOVE her 'save the elephants' tee. Would love to stock her.

Just been doing a marathon session of research into 'ethical' fashion products for the shop that I manage and am buyer for. SO much exciting stuff that I will post tomorrow as I need sleep now!

3.1 Phillip Lim Resort 2010

Saving for this T-shirt

I feel like I'm very easily pleased. Everything is so simple but completely weareable. I guess that's what resort is all about though ... nothing too creative.
