Rebecca Ray Designs: Equestrian and Dog Inspired Accessories

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Handbags

Rebecca Ray specializes in handmade couture handbags and fashion accessories inspired by her love of dogs and horses, as well as old-fashioned art and antiques. Her designs vary from colorful ruffled totes like the ones shown here to sophisticated leather satchels, belts, jewelry, and accessories, as well as printed home decor items like pillows and placemats. Many of the bags include removable vintage brooches (if you look closely you can see them above), a choice of over 400 antique images, and are completely hand-sewn by the Amish near Chagrin Falls, Ohio where Rebecca Ray Designs is based.

I love almost everything in her current line but these bags especially caught my eye. Called "The Reilly" on the right and "The Katie" on the left they're essentially boxy little tote/purse hybrids with funky, artistic fabric patterns, pretty ruffles, authentic equestrian hardware, and protective feet on the bottom -- plus of course the antique brooch embellishments and option of vintage images and I mentioned earlier. $545-575.

Filed under: Decor

One of Luxist's favorite brands, Brooks Brothers, has launched their new home collection. The line takes the clothing maker's classic twills, silks and cottons and applies them to bedding, bath towel and decorative pillows that continue the Brooks Brothers look. The line of decorative pillows use the same look of Brooks Brothers ties to create striped pillows of English silk filled with a blend of white duck feathers and down that sell for $248 to $288.

There are two bedding collections of 330-thread count Supima cotton including the Blue Yarn-dye Bedding Collection which takes its inspiration from Brooks' classic shirt fabrics such as houndstooth, windowpane, glen plaid and pinstripe. The Herringbone Bedding Collection is in white with three-row embroidered border of navy and red. There is also a herringbone-bordered terry bath collection in 12 colors and terry bathrobes which have matching slippers. The entire collection is available on the Brooks Brothers website.

Fall Wallpapers From Graham & Brown

Filed under: Decor

Skulls, eyes, bare trees, the latest designs from Graham & Brown wallpaper echo the sombre season. Orange, brown and charcoal gray feature prominently but midnight blue and purple also make their appearance. Designer Amy Butler creates designs inspired by nature and full of vivid color. Legandary fashionista Barbara Hulanicki who founded the retail chain Biba in 1964, creates some of the most intriguing designs including "Antoinette" and "Skulls," a pattern that manages to use the oft-overused skull in a new and understated way. Less understated is the deliciously creepy Witness by Taylor & Wood, shown at right, which sells for $50 a roll.

Baobab Platinum, A Gentleman's Candle

by Michael B. Dougherty (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Modern Gentleman

Belgian candle maker Baobab, known for their handmade collection of African-influenced scents, injects some refined manhood into the home decor world with a platinum creation.

There's something about the combination of scented wax and an open flame that seems to negate masculinity, whether due to the enduring legacy of Yankee Candle or the inane obsession with dividing inanimate objects into "his" and "hers." Some candle manufacturers surmount this by festooning the jar with skulls or dying the wax black, which is like wrapping a pirate flag around a fruit basket. But since 2002, Baobab has quietly been producing an entire line of perfumed candles that actually seem appropriate for the boardroom, bar or (his) bedroom. For one, the line takes its olfactory inspiration from Africa (it was created in Tanzania) with scents like Masai Spirit, White Rhino and Zanzibar Spices, all developed in the French fragrance capital of Grasse. The base note for the line is rooted in cedar sandalwood, a warm and spicy foundation to build each individual expression. There are also five sizes to choose from, from the 50gr Mini Max candle to the towering seven-wick, 7.5kg Maxi Max, which has a burn time of 800 hours.

And now Baobab has introduced a platinum jar edition, available across the line. The silvery finish is an elegant and understated display that will hold its own amongst club chairs and single malts. With all that cigar smoke and musty leather in the room you're going to need something that smells good.

Tommy Hilfiger Auctions Off His Old Decor

Filed under: Decor, Auctions

It's been a big month for Tommy Hilfiger as he celebrates 25 years as a designer. In his many years designing clothing he's also put his stamp on a home or two. We have seen more than one of his lavish homes go up for sale and cast admiring glances at his interiors. He has sold homes in Greenwich, Connecticut, East Hampton, New York and Vermont. He recently bought another home in Greenwich and has a large apartment in New York but has decided to start fresh on those residences.

Now you can get your hands on Tommy's home decor castoffs. Items from his estate will be sold at Vintage Galleries in Greenwich, Connecticut on September 26. It is just the fifth auction for Vintage Galleries, which held its inaugural sale last September. According to Auction Central News, the fledgling auction house got the gig because Hilfiger frequents a neighboring store, the Greenwich Living Antique & Design Center. Hilfiger has an eye for quality antiques. The auction will include around 500 items ranging from vintage luggage to custom wooden Balinese furniture designed by Hilfiger. The prices are relatively modest, you can pick up most of the objects and art for under $1,000. Certain pieces including a French provincial hutch, an antique armoire and a pair of green painted and upholstered chairs in the style of Louis XVI are estimated to sell in the low four figures.

Luxe Bathroom Ideas from Around the World

best bathroom ideas

Bathrooms have made a cultural shift in our society. They've gone from being small, functional rooms, morphing with his-and-hers sinks, adjoining dressing rooms and jacuzzi tubs into a room of rest and relaxation. Now bathrooms have shifted once again -- thanks in part to the prevalence of spas and their aesthetic into our lives. Bathrooms are now often the crown jewel, or hidden secret, of many homes. In some cases they're even front and center in master suites, seen just behind glass walls. (How's that for modesty.) The following bathrooms from China, Spain and Costa Rica and beyond, highlighted in the recent book, "150 Best Bathroom Ideas," published by Collins Design, exemplify the exciting direction bathroom design is headed.

Frette's Spring/Summer 2010 Collections Inspired By Artists

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Artists were the inspiration behind Frette's Spring/Summer 2010 Collections. The beautiful collections are an homage to both artists and the places that inspired them. The Venice is influenced by American Impressionist, John Singer Sargent. In his watercolor sketches, Sargent managed to capture the grace and mystery of Venice and the shimmering colors of the water and skies surrounding the city influenced the color palette used by Frette's designers ranging from Verbena to Myrrh. Luxury bedcovers in rich metallic silks in lavender, silver and copper complete the sumptuous collection. The sensual works of symbolist Gustav Klimt served as the inspiration to the Vienna. Vienna features floral shapes of cascading wisteria as well as geometric renditions of rosette blooms. The resulting patterns reflect early 20th century art and architecture's transition to Art Nouveau from a more classicist past. The Aix collection evokes Henri Matisse. The colors reflect the richly hued landscape of the Provencal region.All are available in Frette stores and online. Prices start at $1,695 for a total set.

Marcel Wanders Couture Collection Wallpaper

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Marcel Wanders designs a little bit of everything, like ivy-covered swings and Baccarat crystal and now wallpaper for Graham & Brown. Shopping no longer means paging through binder after binder of ugly patterns as there are eight designs in the Marcel Wanders Couture Collection and each one comes in a variety of 'strong colorways and subtle shades,' for example Isabella shown in charcoal above also comes in pink.

The eye catching patterns are printed on Graham & Brown's special clay-coat paper and feature a matte finish with metallic and gloss embellishments. The ability to artistically defy gravity, however, is unfortunately not included. $75 per double roll/bolt.
