Lee Cooper SS2015 - a glimpse

For Spring Summer 2015, Lee Cooper continues the partnership with Makers and commitment to craft.
This season it’s all about East London. Shot in a studio in Shoreditch, the SS15 campaign blends studio imagery with East London Art. The campaign was inspired by some of Lee Cooper’s iconic advertising and legendary ties to the music industry; a segment of culture Lee Cooper has always been deeply rooted in.



The Canals of the East End, and the people who lived and worked there, were inspiration for this season’s collection. With a nod to its music heritage – SS15 features an upgrade of ‘straight’ campaign imagery with a mix of overlaid commissioned artwork, in true band-poster style.

Lee Cooper has kept the fun, rock n’ roll attitude from the 60s and 70s but has recut it for 21st century, by combining photography and collage.
Rather than simply shooting local Makers as the company has in past seasons, this season they have featured the art of one new Maker, Rosanna Webster. Her mix of collage and illustration coupled with her recent press coverage garnered the attention for this project.
Rosanna’s art is a perfect addition to overlay Lee Cooper's looks. Her collages combine East London Imagery, historic Lee Cooper adverts, and textures along with hand drawn elements.

The Lee Cooper SS15 Collection moves focus to the East End’s Canals and the industrial importance that the people working on the waterways played for the country. From weeks spent on the narrowboat, to evenings in the working men’s club and boxing club, the brand's nod to heritage and workwear remains a strong feature around the world. And, this season’s imagery shows a truly cohesive global collection of products from some of their key partners.




Men spend more money on personal gifts than women.

Just a day for Valentine I read about a survey on personal gifts.

The survey was by MasterCard Treat Index and it reveals that we spend more and more money to personal gifts that make us feel better.

The MasterCard study conducted on more than 15,000 people in 17 countries and showed that both sexes are increasingly recognizing the value of personal gifts for our psychology, and revealed, contrary to common belief, that men spend more money than women. Nearly one in five men (18%) spends over € 100, twice as many as 8% of women who go to this expense.

Despite the fact that men spend more, women are those who truly believe in the influence of personal gifts for their mood: one in three men (33%) said that buying personal gifts to raise the psychology and for women the figure is more than half of the total (51%). Thus, while women do not spend much money, derive more joy from the little gifts by themselves.

It is also interesting that people do not feel guilty about such small "treatments" that raise their psychological (58%), reinforcing the findings of the previous year, according to which personal gifts are considered by most a basic right.

Joanna Mingou, Marketing Manager of MasterCard Greece, Cyprus and Malta commented: "The results of the investigation of the MasterCard Treat Index, on both European and Greek level, proving that our personal gifts make our mood.
The Greeks enjoy reward themselves with small or large gifts and recognize the importance they have in everyday life.

The survey also revealed that the approach of each of us, in terms of personal gifts, differs between countries and age groups.

With this survey I received a funny gif I am sharing here with you.

Unique wooden handbag by Leon

Today I was impressed by a wooden handbag at the Style Event of Van Waay in Benthuizen. This handbag is an eye-catcher.

This wooden handbag is a design by Leon.

The Leon handbag is really unique. No handbag is the same, because of the wooden ‘fingerprint’. The wood is extremely light and flexible.
The elegant handbag can easily contain a tablet, handy and much more.

For the interior Leon uses the best leather and suede. And has several small pockets so it is easier to find something in your handbag.

Each handbag comes with a detachable leather shoulderstrap.
And is in three kinds of wood:

  • American Oak: robust and natural 
  • Zebrano: striped and flashy 
  • Walnut: classic and warm





Leon is passionate about making beautiful design objects out of wood. He quit his job so he could really focus on creating things of beauty. After perfecting his skills, learning from master woodworker Brian Newell in California, Leon started to develop a wooden handbag for women. The result: a strong, flexible, elegant and pleasant to use handbag. Behold the proceeds of a journey that ended in success.

But he didn't design only a handbag also he created some accessories like a bag hanger and a telephone buddy.
Now he is developing a briefcase and a clutch. Can't wait to see them!

You can order your handbag (with or without accesories) on line. Maybe the price is a bit high but you have a unique, eye-catching and timeless accessory.
Leon offers free worldwide shipping. For more information see here.
