We know tan woven belts are what’s hot right now, but we prefer our belts just that bit gaudier. This is one of those pieces that look a little crazy when on it’s own, but would slot right into an outfit, especially one of those super toned down chino and oxford ‘fits that are poppin’ on these internetz streets. And it’s only £27.50, which is always a bonus. (Liberty)

We’re in July now, so it’ll probably be scorching wherever you are. Whilst we love an oxford as much as the next man, there’s a time when you’ll need to lighten up and, in the words of Rich boy, throw some tee’s on it. These duffer tees (which are still made by the original designers, a point we have to say every time we feature duffer) would do the job nicely and they’re £25. (Duffer)

Yanko gives a roundup of their favorite 20 of 45 Red Dot Product Design winners. You can read their full take on the winners of course, but our pick of the moment may be the new Grohe Ondus Digitecture faucet by Grohe (shown above).  Not only is it a beautifully constructed faucet, it also innovates by allowing for user preset temperature controls in your home sink. Some like it hotter than other, ya know.

Tired of the editorial shots? Try this editorial video essay from Mathias Bergh. “Taking a break from the catwalk, editorials and campaigns, Mathias Bergh translates the magic into film with a starring role in Daemian Smith and Christine Suarez’s latest feature entitled Voyeur.

Like clothing garments, not all pencils are the same, especially in the mechanical pencil realm. DMP, one of our favorite sites on the subject matter, has done a full review of the German Tombow Zoom 505sh mechanical pencil and we felt it necessary to share. “The Zoom is a capped pencil with chrome trims and black hard rubber inserts. My particular pencil is charcoal colour but there are a couple of other options. With the cap on, the Zoom makes a stylish but simple statement with its wide-bodied slightly tapering look, metallic trims, glossy body and matt black rubber centre ring…”

A.P.C. gets a helping hand from Aesop on developing a “wash.” The “Fine Fabric Car” formulation from Aesop looks to treat those delicates in the A.P.C. line-up. As Dazed tell it, “The Fine Fabric Care is a cleanser designed specifically for handwashing delicate garments. Formulated by Aesop chemists, it contains extracts of Pettigrain, Lemon and Cedarwood. Fine Fabric Care is made with the quality ingredients and customary care Aesop uses when making skin, hair and body products.”

Look for it in A.P.C and Aesop shops in the latter half of 2010.

The handheld attache is one of the more unique takes on the brief we have seen in a while. In fact it reminds me of those diplomatic footballs. “Vegetable tanned equine leather is the basis of his astonishing work full with new unobvious intricate designs as this document folder where you can safely and stylishly stash all your personal records, away from the curious eye.” Por Vocacao has them.
