potted history
If you’ve ever wandered through
a museum of ancient artefacts
and wanted to take a piece
or two home because you’ve
developed an object crush, we
can’t help you – you’ll have
to unearth historic relics on
your own time. There is an
alternative, however, provided
by oneDebbie Pryor.The
Adelaide jeweller has a bit of a
crush on pottery herself, and
makes earrings featuring pots
and plates of yesteryear. They’ll
set you back between $40 and
$110 atdebbiepryor.orgsamantha pleet
If the old woman who lived in a shoe resided in
anything like these corkers from Samantha Pleet,
we reckon she’d be a happy old woman, indeed.
Hopefully you have something better to live in,
so you can just put them on your feet instead.
Like all Samantha Pleet goodies, these Legend
boots are meticulously designed in Brooklyn for
smart and magical women, and – as far as we
know – no tiny people have set up house in them
yet. samanthapleet.comkloke
On the one hand, Kloke’s latest collection brings back memories of our old
school uniforms and afternoon detentions for looking “scruffy” in the streets.
On the other hand, it’s reminded us that plaid fabrics and cosy knits are tops.
Maybe if our uniforms looked like this, we wouldn’t have spent so much time
trying to deface them, shorten them and cinch them in. Who knows – we might
have even considered leaving our socks pulled up. For more Kloke goodness
(but no school rules), head to kloke.com.au
some lovely luggage
A few things we’d quite like to do
with these sweet suitcases from
Sydney label Alimrose: deliver piles
of cash to a shady figure as the sun
rises over a barren landscape; travel
halfway across the world while eating
marmalade, à la Paddington Bear;
cosplay as Very Important Business
People with a penchant for dainty
floral accessories. In truth, the
luggage is made in tiddlywink size, so
it’s more suitable as a snazzy sewing
kit or travelling companion for your
favourite tot, but that’s nothing to
thumb your nose at. Should you fancy
a closer look, it’s going for $49.95 a set
at alimrose.com.audelightful than
wrapping a literal
rainbow around your
shoulders as you drift
off into a peaceful
slumber up amongst
the clouds? Not much,
that’s what. This
joyful neck pillow
comes from the colour-
loving folks at ban.dō,
and should you hanker
after one yourself,
it’s around $32 from
bando.comnecking on
