MILK's Money Managers, Stylish Wallets For One and All

How do you carry your money? Do you like your coins jangling in a pouch, or your notes folded and tucked into a discreet wallet? Perhaps you've eschewed cash altogether and looked to the future, carrying only your cards. Whatever your preference and personal style, MILK are excited to present wallet solutions for you, from the hyper-minimal to the embellished!

FOR THE ART LOVER

The Fornasetti brand has become more prolific than ever, expanding from the classic wall plates to bold furniture and sophisticated home fragrances. Selfridges dedicated a Wonder Room to Fornasetti in September, testifying to this cult label's increasingly desirable status as collectible works of art. This Fornasetti leather wallet, £320, is a perfect example of the brand's ability to seamlessly inject surrealistic design into everyday objects. The perfect gift for art aficionados.



FOR THE MINIMALIST

Saskia Diez's ingenious use of Tyvek--a lightweight, waterproof, tearproof synthetic paper--has created a collection of 'papier' wallets and travelling bags so minimal that it is practically invisible. Deceptively durable, these wallets will hold the thickest wad of notes and withstand the lengthiest of bar-stool sessions. Ideal for the person who wants a barely-there but reliable way of carrying their money. Saskia Diez Paper Wallets, £37



FOR THE ZEN HYPER-MINIMALIST

...and for the hyper-minimalist, Japanese label Corga's card wallet, £40 has just the carrier for the individual who prefers to go cash-free. Prefer to carry just your credit and debit cards, perhaps with some business cards or travelcard? Corga's leather designs will fit seamlessly into your life, existing only to hold everything together in the most subtle and understated manner.




FOR THE SOPHISTICATED LADY

Fashion lovers will be delighted by Patrizia Pepe's grey-beige wallet, £105. This compact beauty opens up to present a surprisingly roomy interior, with plenty of pockets for cards, ample room for crisp bank notes, and a coin pouch to hold change and loose buttons! The ambiguous nature of the leather's colour--it's either grey or beige depending on how you look at it--only adds to its multifaceted and super-stylish appeal.




FOR THE MAGPIE


And for lovers of all things shiny and reflective, it doesn't get sparklier than this! Felix Rey coin purses, £62 are completely covered in sequins, and you can add a crystal keychain from the range (the dark silver purse already comes accessorised with one). A purse to catch the light and the eye of even the most discerning of magpies!

Keep your money safe,

An Apple A Day

We are no strangers to the benefits of fruit. How can one ignore the advertising reminding you to eat your 5 a day? And of course the famous saying, 'An apple a day...' Perhaps with this in mind, Art In The City have brought us a new way to enjoy fruit, with their Charge 'N' Fruits electronic charging stations.
MILK's picks for Christmas--festive colours of Red and Green. Also available, Apple For Life (striped), Gold, and Black.


The apples are compatible with practically every mobile phone and mp3 player within the dimensions of 66 mm width x 15 mm depth. These hand painted poly-resin beauties are a novelty way to display your gadgets while they're being 'nourished'. Why should we have all the fun? Our electronics deserve some fruity goodness as well. The perfect gift for your Apple enthusiast friend's iPhone and iPod...

The Apples from Charge N' Fruit by Art In The City are now available at MILK! http://www.milkconceptboutique.co.uk/ChargingDocks/

Much love,
