that's a wrap
This headwrap is so beautiful it’s making us sing a James
Blunt song in our heads. Which in turn is making us cranky
because, like everyone else on Earth, we actually kind of hate
James Blunt. Designed by Haitian makerPaola Mathéfor her
New York-based label Fanm Djanm(‘strong woman’ in Haitian
Creole), it’s made from soft cotton and is available for around
$39 at fanmdjanm.com. (There are also some pretty ace tutorials
on ways to tie it.)

This backpack from
Montreal designersMarie-
Pier Guilmain andMaud
Beauchamp is almost too
lovely to throw our junk in.
The thought of cramming
it full of crumpled old
receipts and chewing gum
wrappers is a little bit sad.
Nevertheless, the unisex
pack is heavy-duty, spacious
and has a nifty in-built
laptop pocket, so if you’re
willing to risk grubbying
it up a bit, you can head to

Ooh, you think you’re sooo fancy with
your pretty floral file folders, don’t you?
What, are you too good for regular old
beige manila? You’ll only use stationery
featuring gold foil accents from now
on? Well la-di-da, Ms Fancypants. Enjoy
these Rosa folders from Rifle Paper Co.,
if you think you’re so special. They’re
around $25 for a pack of six and will hold
all your papery bits and bobs, which we
presume are topped with equally ornate
letterheads. riflepaperco.compillow talk
Listen up: this cushion is
no bleeding-heart softie
you can just trample all
over without a second
thought. It’s going to find
you, look you straight
in the eye and sternly
tell you to just do the
thing. If the idea of a
tough-talking head-
or butt-rest appeals,
send us your details at

have three up for grabs,
worth around $42 each.
