poketo wallets

i'm loving these wallets from poketo this morning. poketo, if you don't know already, is a network of international artists that create exclusive works and limited editions (t-shirts, wallets, homeware, etc), and my favorites are the wallets.

the above wallets are designed by page tsou, and the wallets below are by sarah utter.

and on a different note, i have, sadly, been hearing about artist plagiarism lately, and i thought this was a fun way to tell people it's not cool to steal ideas. this 'fake' bag is by designer zinoo park, and it "visualizes and satirizes the current era by combining the louis vuitton brand and graphic image of FAKE. through this project the artist critiques idolization of brand names and prevalence of knock-offs."

supposedly the louis vuitton people even bought some!
