When it comes to paperclips, they’re often only known for their functional and practical use. But these paperclip creations are a great representation of how these ordinary items have been used in another inventive way. Using such a widely known brand name as “Porsche” as an inspiration.

Modern day engineered designs derive their influence from all sorts of ordinary mundane items, and can transform such things as these ordinary paperclips, into something modern and visually compelling, such as the well-recognized Porsche 911 shape.

Something you would want at your desk? I know I would.

That lovely, sexy, streamlined 911 silhouette! … a marvelous home or office gift.

If you are looking for something to brighten up your work space, this is an ideal office gift for women and men. And what a great Birthday or Christmas gift too. Hint!

Here’s the Product Details:

Oh! and one more thing…

Not too successful with trying to keep your paper clips together on your desk?

You work in an office, right? When you reach into your paper clip container to remove one paper clip, do you tend to get a chain of them? I do.

Paper clips, push pins and rubber bands running astray across your home office desk? Here’s a way to keep those little office supplies in check….the Office Organizer!

Porsche Design TwinBag, Finest craftsmanship, down to the very last detail

28 Feb

TwinBag in green ostrich leather

Porsche Design TwinBag

Stuttgart. The luxury brand’s first women’s handbag will be available from March 1st in all Porsche Design Stores around the world and in the official online store. The TwinBag is distinguished by its unique design and exclusive leather materials, expertly crafted by workers in Florence.

Finest Craftsmanship

The main highlight is the bag’s clever carrying concept: its adjustable handles allow the TwinBag to be worn as either a handbag or a shoulder bag. The German luxury brand’s first handbag rounds off its fashion and lifestyle range for women.

Finest Craftsmanship

Italian craftsmanship shines through in every detail of the TwinBag, making it a true masterpiece. Produced from a single piece of calf leather, the bag is painstakingly stitched by hand in an intricate production process.

Finest Craftsmanship

Its Italian production ensures the finest workmanship and particular attention to detail – the handbag benefits from knowledge and tradition passed down through generations of Florentine craft workers.

Finest Craftsmanship

The Porsche Design TwinBag is one of the most exclusive bags around this season. Premium quality was a key focus in the selection of materials. The leather is tanned using an ecological process, the lining is made from soft Alcantara and the metal fittings are finished using an elaborate electroplating procedure.

Finest Craftsmanship

After vegetable tanning, the selected leather varieties – exclusive ostrich leather, elegant crocodile leather and modern calf leather – are processed with the highest precision and utmost attention to quality.

An elaborate electroplating process is used to produce six different finishes for the timeless metal fittings which are then polished by hand. The fittings are made from precious metals, such as gold, white gold, rose gold, matt gold, silver and chrome.

Finest Craftsmanship

The many different combinations of fine leather varieties and finishes result in a very distinctive look for each TwinBag model.

Finest Craftsmanship

The highlight of the first TwinBag collection is a grey crocodile leather bag with white gold fittings.

TwinBag in blue ostrich leather

Gold details adorn the green and blue ostrich leather bags, while the grey leather bag sports chromeblack metal fittings.

TwinBag in grey crocodile leather

The individual numbers on the crocodile and ostrich leather versions further emphasise their exclusivity. The collection is rounded off with a total of 13 stylish and modern calf leather versions. The TwinBag colour spectrum ranges from elegant white to timeless beige and classic black.

Featuring a two-way zip for easy access, the interior of the TwinBag is designed with functionality in mind: it is roomy enough to hold DIN A4-size documents and a 13-inch laptop.
