I'm finally setting up shop, online, that is! Yes, doing my photo shoots and uploading to my new shop Love from Cyprus on ETSY. Soon I'll be on ASOS Marketplace too, so watch this space. For now, you can find my goodies, along with other Cypriots artists and designers products at this link.
Puccini's La Boheme opera

Also selling slick leather wallets by John Markides for men. These have fancy money clips and are one-off pieces, hand sewn in real leather. John is the brother of the one and only, Stalo Markides. Those in the know, know her as the eccentric leather bag and accessory designer who sells in Harrods, Bloomingdales, Concento, etc. Custom orders are also welcome, either get in touch with me or John himself, so discuss and see the leathers available.

Now that the weather is cooling, I find my tastes returning to the materials that I most associate with winter living -- tweed, wool, cashmere and leather. I am a vegetarian for more reasons than one, so it seems incompatible for me to be a fan of leather goods. But my feeling is that since vintage leather items have been around longer than I have, I would rather see them gracing someone's home than decaying in a landfill somewhere. I am particularly fond of leather club chairs as they are often associated with gentlemen's club style (see this post for more details). I first encountered them at the Paris flea market at Porte de Clignancourt. The leather was cracked and the stuffing coming through, but I loved their masculine lines. The green air force chairs below have a completely different silhouette, but they would be a unique alternative to classic club chairs. I'm not a smoker but these beauties almost make me want to say, "bring on the cigars."
