Paul Smith Polka Dot Leather Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Here's one more handbag from the end-of-the-year sales. The Paul Smith Polka Dot Leather Clutch has a vintage look due to the combination of the white-on-black polka dots and the slightly old-fashioned gathers of the clutch at the border of the large frame. This is accentuated further with the small, contrasting brown leather buckle detail at the front. It is saved from looking too old by high quality leather and a magnetic snap closure hidden within the frame. It would look great with a nice, fitted pair of jeans. The clutch measures 10.5" x 5.5" x 1.5". Sale price: $379 (reg. $540).

Paul Smith Reindeer & Snowman Cuff Links

Filed under: Jewelry

Looking for a way to subtly celebrate the season in a staid office environment? Paul Smith's Reindeer & Snowman Cuff Links are an adorable way to do just that, not to mention that they're the perfect accessories for any holiday party. The gunmetal gray links will catch the eye with splashes of bright red enamel (scarf and boots on the reindeer, scarf and hat on the snowman) and glittering green crystal eyes and buttons. Since they aren't directly tired to Christmas, but more to the winter season in general, these links can be used into the New Year before being put away until next December. Price: $150.

Paul Smith Story

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance

I love the bottle for the Paul Smith scent, Paul Smith Story. Shaped like a book, the bottle can stand upright or lie down flat. The vial is made of thick glass that "allow[s] the green glow of old apothecary bottles to shine through," giving it not only a distinctive look, but a sturdy feel. The idea behind the name is that they layered scent builds as you are exposed to it, starting with notes of grapefruit and bergamot, before progressing to jasmine and other florals. It is both romantic and provocative, a scent suitable for wearing both during the day and when going out. Price: £24.

Paul Smith Chocolate Leather Double Handle Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Unlike most "chocolate" handbags, the Paul Smith Chocolate Leather Double Handle Bag actually bears some resemblance to the rich and creamy smoothness of chocolate. The rather understated bag has antiqued brass hardware to complement the deep brown leather, and bears the PS initials, embossed on the front. The flat double straps have a drop of 6" inches and are designed to fit easily on the shoulder, where the bag can be tucked comfortable under an arm. The only indication of the 60s inspired colors and swirls that are common to Smith's designs is found on the underside of the buckle that decorates the bag's flap closure, which is secured with a hidden magnet. Price: $1,000.

Paul Smith Swirl Rug

Need a little retro pop for your floor? Are those majestic hardwoods seeming a little bare? Why not get a rug? Outlandish British designer Paul Smith has lent his trademark bright stripes to The Rug Company to make high quality floor coverings. This swirling rug is of Tibetan wool and comes in several sizes. Take some time to browse through their other rugs as well. There are several that I am wanting for my floors.

Paul Smith World Cup Gear

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

We already saw designer soccer balls from Takashi Murakami and a whistle chair/sculpture for armchair referees, but Paul Smith has a whole line of products that he developed in celebration of the World Cup. First up is his take on a football, made of fake crocodile skin colored with bright hues. Unfortunately, unlike the Murakami balls, it is not intended to be used as more than a novelty and should not even be taken outdoors. This isn't a problem if you want to toss the ball around while watching the game on TV, though. The ball is £169.

Paul Smith iPod mini case

In honor of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's exhibit, Anglo-mania, a retrospective of British fashion, I thought I'd join in the Anglophilia with something hip and Brit: Paul Smith's leather iPod Mini carrying case.

If you're not familiar with Paul Smith, let me gush about him for a few minutes. He's best known for his tailored suits, but in the past few years, he extended his collection to include women's ready to wear, accessories and perfumes. What Paul Smith does best is basically what the British do best -- mixing subsersiveness with tradition. Smith's suits, are on the outside, exactly what you would expect a stuffy British business man to wear. On the inside, though, he includes details like lavender satin or this funky ticking stripe liner.

It's the same striped patten he uses in this iPod mini case. The sleek elastic sides enable this carrier to accomodate both the 4 and the 6 GB Mini.

Sort of mod, sort of cheeky, this pod holster gives me the feeling that I should be spending a good part of my life listening to The Kinks' song "Waterloo Station" on iPod repeat. Price: $130.

Paul Smith Triumph Bag

Filed under: Handbags

I wrote before about designer Paul Smith's partnership with Triumph to create motorcycles. Smith was also inspired to make several bags that celebrate vintage Triumph style. There is a messenger bag made to look like a distressed motorcycle jacket and this canvas weekend bag that features a Triumph on one side and a close-up of the engine on the other. The bag has leather trim and a vibrant purple lining. It's on sale at eLuxury for $329, down from $495.
