Pretty things



Until I win the Euromillions (something I consider a real financial possibility- so much so that I'm completely avoiding the scary pension plans the banks keep trying to sell me) I generally won't have €435 to put in a wallet, let alone spend on one. But this arty mini-insert by Paul Smith caught my eye. Wouldn't it be nice if there were more nice images inside things that are normally plain and boring? Like when you buy a black winter coat and the lining is bold leopard print or neon paisley.

Wallet, €220, Dolce & Gabanna, Insert, €215, Paul Smith.

That's a really lovely idea. I love prettiness on the inside of things.

I used to have a grey winter coat that was fairly 'normal' and unassuming on the outside but had a lovely pink and lime patterned lining on the inside. (it sounds kind of horrific but it wasn't, I promise).

Yeah, you can be as mad as you like on the inside, even in work. Kind of like life, really!

God bless Paul Smith...

Lining is very important! I love how irregular choice shoes gives attention to all these details.. even their soles are painted!

I think it feels like the designer went to an extra bit of effort, that this coat/shoe/bag/wallet is hiding something really, really cool.

Yeah, it's great when things are all pretty inside. i remember my brother buying a new suit and me noting how lovely the red inner lining was on the jacket and what a shame it was that no-one would really see that bit. he said "But that bit's just for me." A very good way of looking at it, I thought.

Indeed. Also, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun if you turned everything inside out.
