Some time ago I wrote a post about how everything "sewing" (and craft in general) was inspiring fashion and design. In Italy this trend seems to be growing and here are a few products that I thought you might be curious to see.
Starting from these fun embroidery hoop inspired clocks by MIHO Unexpected:
Happy Hour
Take Your Time
Tea at Five
Il Centimetro has developed their tape measure bracelet concept into other products: watches, keyrings, wallets and bags, all made in Italy:

Seletti has also come up with a clever product called Philo that is a coloured electric cable wound up on what looks like a thread reel:

There are also some super fun products for children that are very popular at the moment: Zip bracelets by Shokkybandz

and Sbottonati, a collection of 120 buttons you can sew or stick on to decorate (Preziosi Collection):
This is the only photo I managed to take before the buttons disappeared into Ella's school bag!
What a wonderful collection - such clever and stylish ideas! I suppose what you'd expect from Italy :) I feel like I want to stop everything and make a tapestry clock!
ReplyDeleteLove the Centimetro products. Really cool.
