swatch is well-known for their funky watch designs, some of which are based on popular films or specific themes. the company’s latest collection of watches draws inspiration from the james bond villains. the twenty-two watches are each designed to reflect the personality and style of one or more evil characters from some of the most well-known james bond films. because the series only features villains, bond himself is not represented but the eclectic assortment of villains more than makes up for it.

The "Lean-On" self-standing closet rod, designed by Peter Van de Water for Cascando, seems like the perfect closet solution if you
a) move a lot, b) don't feel like hauling that heavy MDF Ikea wardrobe around, and c) only own five or six articles of clothing that require hanging.

Worn Again Virgin bags are constructed out of materials left over from the retrofitting of Virgin Atlantic planes - all of those seat covers and safety belts add up to a significant amount of material that usually goes to waste. The range will include the Ollie toiletry kit, the Lydia and Romero handbags and the Sherman messenger. Each bag is constructed by hand in Portugal using socially responsible labor. If you’re curious about a bag’s composition, just check its label for a complete list of materials used. They are currently available through their website and in Terra Plana stores worldwide.
