Gorgeous ‘Pippa Middleton’ laptop bag by Knomo

I just love this Knomo slim pouch as seen being used by the girl about town with the nice bum Pippa Middleton. It unzips at the top as well as having a signature zip-pocket at the front which is great for holding your mobile or travel card. The quilted exterior provides padding for your laptop and looks quite ‘Chane’l like but without the hefty price tag! The detachable, adjustable strap makes it easy to carry as well as having the short retractable leather handle. They come in three different sizes depending on the size of your laptop and various on trend colours. Every Slim also contains the knomo Tracker ID – a unique number stitched into the bag, that once registered on the knomo website, should you misplace your bag, the finder can call the freephone number and knomo will retrieve the bag and return it to the customer, free-of-charge. A perfect stylish addition to any oufit.

Mixing art with protective know how

Proporta and world renowned artist Ben Allen have just announced a new collaboration on two stunning hard shell protective cases for the Apple iPhone 4.

The range has been designed to add minimal bulk, but maximum style to your iPhone 4. Super tough and robust, the hard shell case comes in two stylish designs – Skull and Zebra. The British punk movement inspires the ‘Skull’ design whilst the ‘Zebra’ is Allen’s vision of the streets and the wild becoming one. Both are visually arresting, and are printed in high resolution on to super tough Proporta shells protecting against knocks and impact damage, whilst remaining soft and silky to the touch.

Ben Allen’s paintings have been exhibited in venues and galleries internationally as well as being purchased by celebrities including Richard Branson, Stephen Dorff, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, DJ Dan Williams and Jade Jagger.
