berluti / cire trudon
you know, this very suave candle, with woody notes & hints of leather reminiscing the aroma of a traditional shoemaker's workshop, is the love child of a collab between two centuries-old well-respected houses - BERLUTI & CIRE TRUDON; it is also hand-cut, & then placed into a crystal whiskey glass of racing green color ...
the best thing about getting a pair of exquisite round glasses from KANEKO OPTICAL is not the friendly service of their knowledgeable staffs, or that wooden box that holds the leather case which holds your glasses, it's the hand written note they prepare for you. & the note goes a lil like this, "hong kong is quite far away, so we thank you very much for travelling all the way here. not only we are looking forward to you next visit, we wish you a safe & pleasant journey ..."
i have been wanting to shoot with this one, nicholas costa, since i first saw him on the runway of MCQUEEN show in london more than a year ago!
the berluti jump rope
the offbeat classicism & technical virtuosity of BERLUTI is always so palpable. simply look at this leather jump rope with ergonomic handles decorated with venezia leather & you shall see what i mean
