5 things to love this week

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. We’re just loving Coco Fennell, a small label with gorgeous clothes and wonderful sale now on  –  The Coco Fennell philosophy – “I want to build a brand that is all about fun, friendliness and positive body image. I want to work with the female body, not against it, and make clothes for boobs, hips, bums and waists. Clothes that you’d be happy to bump into your ex-boyfriend in, that make the local builders whistle and make you feel happy and gorgeous day and night.”

Handbag full of wine anyone?!

Vernissage the Swedish winemaker have released a designer “wine handbag”.

The “bag-in-bag” vino comes complete with arm strap so you can tuck up to three litres of your favourite drop under your arm for easy carrying.

The Bag-in-Bag wine Vernissage has taken both wine-lovers and the press by storm, in Sweden as well as internationally. Behind the success are Sofia Blomberg, the creator of the unique packaging design, and Takis Soldatos, the creator of the packaging´s contents. The results are elegant design, and a characteristically typical mixture of French Chardonnay and Viognier produced in one of Northern Europe´s most modern wineries, Nordic Sea Winery in Simrishamn. The thought behind Vernissage is a playful approach the curious and modern wine consumer. At the same time, a woman´s touch has propelled the Bag-in-Bag wine from the practical to the elegant.

Currently on sale in Europe, the booze purse will be sold in the United States in a matter of weeks.

Do you think it will take-off?  We’d love to hear your thoughts.
