mon mono mania

i have been doing a bang up business lately in monogrammed items..who knew that would be "the next big thing"..so retro in a way..but these things have a way of circling back in a fresh way..so what am i ..arguing? certainment non! so let us review..goyard i believe was the original of this quasi nautical/clubby look with the striping.

then LV and Monsieur marc knew a good thing and jumped on the band wagon..

not to be out done by uber brands here comes Iomoi with a great version..

and erin {gates} was totin' around this lil' tote from Oughton which i think is super..and i think it is a great look (minus the monogram)at a great price well under $200.

last but not least lil ol' me with a version on our classic mug in a great color combo. i think it's a keeper!

i spent time this week looking at the David Hicks: Designer book, , and learned (once again i am the last to get this!) that his iconic print is 4 "H"'s coming together to form an ingenious geometric. as a big fan of geometrics, and a giant naysayer of the ubiquitous logomania that envelopes the world of fashion and design..i am a latecomer to the idea of putting a big fat "J" all over my work..but i am seriously considering making the move. hmm. i do hate myself for loving those darn goyard bags.
color me quizzical, but i am starting to think this is the next big thing for us over at JR designworld headquarters. stay tuned for updates.
i mean..what's not to like about this antique steamer trunk?
over the top..but hey, i'll take two!
