QUAMTA’s going to offer some pieces this fall that will suit a select number of leather lovers. Their looks aren’t for everybody, but the nifty pouches and zipped holders could help you stay more organized. Billfolds, wallets, and coin pouches are all represented in the QUAMTA collection. Exotic leathers are exactly what you’d expect from a South Africa-based label, and they don’t disappoint: ostrich and python are included in the offerings. There’s a stunning wallet in dark brown and a neat round coin holder in tan, with other notable pieces mixing colors a bit more for pep. The black leather has an impressive sheen, and the texture truly shows up well.

The hipsterdom fashion universe is a pastiche of things defined more or less by the level of irony they can convey. This means - like a ravenous, all-consuming blob - the hipster wolf-pack adopts certain items and inadvertently redefines them until they’ve lost most of their original meaning. Here’s a short list of things outlining exactly what we mean.

What caught my eye was the keychain from Kichizo pictured here, which features two dangling coins and a fat clip. The card holder from thick leather is nice, too. Impeccably fashioned, the card holders feature white topstitching and a simple golden zip and leather pull tab. These card holders are embossed with the “Kichizo” label and are available at Porter Classic along with the keychains. [via hypebeast]

There’s no shortage of iPhone cases in the market these days (which we normally cover over on GadgetCrave) but none can compare with what artist Jasper Wong has come up with. Designed for RebelScholar, Jasper’s iPhone cases distinguish themselves from the crowd with vivid designs and linear interpretations and cartoon caricatures. Available in El Lucha Gold, Unicorn Pirate Silver, Toasty Bandit Bruiser, Chairman Wow Blue, and Pitiful Fool Pink, these colorful, graphic interpretations can be yours for $100 for each. They’re all so dope, making it hard to chose just one, don’t you think? [via Hypebeast]

If a drinking case could be described as “sexy,” this would be it. Vernice’s drinking and gaming combination sounds a little bit on the dangerous side (no high stakes, please), but at least if you do lose a round or two, you can have an, erm, round or two to take the edge off. Everything is bundled up in an ostrich print leather case complete with two crystal wine glasses, a bottle opener and stopper, two leather coasters, and space suitable for two bottles of wine. Quite a tasty find, indeed. [via selectism]

Soak up the blood bath going on over at Spinninghat. The “Psycho”-inspired bathroom accessories will cleverly contain whatever warm, wet liquid one might otherwise spray or spill on the bathroom tile. The Blood Bath Mat would make any Hitchcock fan happier than wearing their mother’s skin and the horror-ible Blood Bath Shower Curtain even comes with hooks … no, not those kind of hooks.

Your bar could use a dose of incognito cool, and this wine bottle accessory kit is just what the doctor ordered.  This unassuming wine bottle folds open to reveal all the gear you’ll need to enjoy a bottle of wine with company (save for glasses, of course).  The wine bottle accessory kit from Sirtified includes a combination corkscrew and bottle opener, a drip stop ring, a stopper, a foil cutter and a combo pourer/stopper.  After the wine is prepared, just slide this faux wine bottle into your wine rack– clutter be damned.  [$26 at sertified]

Work of Polish designers Ewa Bochen and Maciej Jelski from Kosmos, the retro knuckle comb is a delicate addition to any fashionista’s arsenal of accessories. Combining the “feminine delicacy with power that characterizes modern women”, the vintage design is uniquely finished with a silver plated metal that adds style and a tinge of badass to its already aggressive looks. Nothing short of cool, that must be the ultimate gift for any short tempered women. Just keep out of reach …  [via LikeCool]

Mastering the art of plywood bending, sanding and carving, freelance designer Brian Kelly came up with this modernist laptop case that promises to keep your notebook secure, the stylish way. Made of two pieces of wood that slide into eachother and lined with cork to provide additional heat resistance and protection, the ply laptop case is a do-it-yourself project that is really worthy of a weekend in the workshop. Now only if we could find that jig saw … [via IndustrialDesignServed]
