A few minutes browsing their site reveals a host of treasures, from vintage darts with real feathers, to a perfectly worn button-tufted leather Chesterfield sofa, to custom vintage wallpapers made from enlarged British ephemera. The actual store must be such a treasure trove.

If you’re going to get custom luggage made, you may as well get something out of the ordinary that makes it worth going custom! These shapes are so clever.

If you’re anything like me, and the appeal of fashion is about the ability to try on a persona or express a mood, I think you’ll agree that the combination of leather and fur offers a fantastic spectrum of possibilities ranging from coiffed uptown chic to downtown rocker sex appeal depending on how you style it.

For example, in looks 2 and 4 above (from left), where the leather is only in the form of a handbag (2) and a demure brown skirt (4), the look is really about the fur, which is usually associated with old money, old Hollywood, and old Europe (and ok, sometimes old ladies), giving it a much more ladylike uptown vibe.

3 and 5, on the other hand, skew much more rock and roll due to those black leather pants. But the fur adds in an expected dash of eccentric class to the rocker look. And of course #1, with that jacket (and the chambray shirt underneath, love that layering), is also definitely downtown.

Here are a few more I loved that also show off the wide variety of looks that can be achieved with the combination of leather and fur…

PS- Did you notice that Olivia Palermo appeared three times in this post? Girl is crushing it.

PPS- Wow as soon as I typed out this post I realized how much PETA would hate me right now. So I’ll just note, this could be executed with faux leather and fur as well, it’s the look I’m after, not the animals.

It’s like the little black dress of interior design.  There’s a million little black dresses out there, but depending on the cut and material, they can be appropriate for a variety of body types and occasions.  And then just changing the accessories can switch up the whole mood of the dress.

This time, a few examples that skillfully use art and books to keep the restricted palette from becoming too dry or impersonal.  A well-accessorized LBD, if you well.
