Here’s something you’ll see at the forthcoming Baselworld. If you love your watches, you’ll be interested to know what’s inside the Spido Speed. Luckily, Linde Werdelin have included two ‘making of’ features, which buck the trend of most making of features in that they’re actually interesting. We’ve included some images from the making of after the leap, but we’d recommend reading the making of if you want some insight. (The Lab)

Rucksacks tend to split into two camps: either they’re overly rustic or their made of buttery soft leather. This bag, by Ann Demeulemeester – or Ann D for those too lazy to spell her name – falls into the latter camp. As far as high end designer rucksacks go, this is actually one of the cheaper options out there (we’re well aware that calling anything with a £570 price tag cheap is bordering on insanity). Our only nitpick with this is that the strap might make it uncomfortable to carry heavy loads. (The Corner)

This 100% Norwegian wool blanket from Indigofera is exclusive to Burg & Shild Men’s Store in Berlin. It gives those American made ones a run for their money. Stretch it out over the floor or wrap yourself in the cold weather. We will note that the color in these photos does not show the true shine of the reds. A great piece.

Baxter of California, the men’s grooming company, clearly know that running with Japan’s Porter bag line will do your brand right.  ”The bag is made of the signature Porter nylon material, zips open to reveal three inner removable compartment bags, elastic nylon bands to hold travel essentials, and an outer zip compartment as well. The bag carries the traditional head porter woven label, here in a Baxter Blue color for the collaboration, with additional Baxter logo marks on the inside and blue nylon contrasts on the bags interior.” You’ll find 2oz travel sized versions of their goods inside. Expect to drop 250$US on the travel bag kit when it hits select doors.

Here’s another piece from Limoland’s upcoming SS10 collection. The collaboration with Isaac Reina is a relatively new one compared to the other collabs, but it’s already the most distinctive. We’ve spoke (or should we say typed) at length about Limoland’s love of loud colours but it works when restricted to a piece this small. We feel it’d work best with a subdued outfit, pair it with too many colours and you’d run the risk of looking like the ‘trying-too-hard-to-be-quirky’ guy.

Brooks takes their best practice approach to the world of baskets. And why not? After you run the show for generations in the world of leather saddles, you may as well attempt another product or two. Take their Hoxton Wire Basket for instance. Made of a metal structure, wooden base and a leather grip, the Hoxton is a reasonably price extension to your bike which turns it into a commuting dream.

You could have the Victorinox version of this penknife for a few bucks less, but why not carry a bit of Westwood with you. It’s finished in green imitation rhodium, features nailfile, scissors, tweezers, toothpick, keyring, and a Vivienne Westwood orb charm and retails for – get ready – 424$US. #woah

Openers Magazine loves to showcse the absolute best in product from points far and near. Their latest feature is on one of Europe’s oldest handbag manufacturers, Begium’s Delvaux. Establihed in 1829, Delvaux has a long history in the bag market. They have remained independent for close to two centuries and continue to do the world right with their selection of good. Their Newspaper Briefcase is featured on Openers and is well worth a look. Note the finishing clasps and straps on the brief which is part of their A/W 08 collection.

Two great print pattern holdalls from Der Sammler that we can only hope will be acceptable to the domestic US market. The prints are lively with their star and stripe look. If i was to challenge the red/white/blue vs. grey tones pattern, the latter would win, except on Memorial Day and the Forth of July. Get the now from Oki-ni.
