When technology is dressed in classic elegance

Montblanc launches Meisterstück covers suitable for iPhones and iPads

Montblanc, a brand renowned for its timeless pieces, has launched two new luxury accessories – Meisterstück covers suitable for both iPhones and iPads. The protective covers, made from the famous Meisterstück leather, are expected to become highly coveted accessories among business people, technology enthusiasts and people on the move.

With the launch of these two products, Montblanc demonstrates that while deeplyrooted in the greatest tradition of craftsmanship, it bridges tradition with the latesttechnology.

The iPhone has become a modern icon of design and functionality. This elegant and sophisticated Meisterstück leather accessory is designed to protect the current iPhone models against the elements.

With the emergence of tablet computers on the market in recent months, Montblanc has responded by developing a case to hold these masterpieces of technology with style and effortless elegance. The slim case comes in Meisterstück black leather and is compatible with the current iPad.

Each piece features the Montblanc star, the brand’s emblem inspired by the snow-capped peak of Europe’s highest summit – the Mont Blanc. The star-shaped symbol has become synonymous with timeless excellence and pioneering perfection.

Montblanc established its reputation as a master of craftsmanship with the creation of the Meisterstück, a writing instrument that has been regarded for over 85 years as a timeless icon of design and craftsmanship. Praised for its superior quality, the Meisterstück has become the most famous and sought after writing instrument of our time. The MontblancMeisterstück Leather Collection is the modern interpretation of the world-renowned design of Meisterstück writing instruments. Thus each item from the collection, whether covers suitable for holding iPhones and iPads, briefcases or cardholders, is produced to conjure the meaning of its namesake and therefore be a meticulously handcrafted “masterpiece” as well as an enduring investment classic to be nurtured for future generations.

These distinctive pieces have been masterly crafted at Montblanc’s luxury accessories workshop in Florence by artisans highly skilled at manipulating leathers and other precious skins with traditional techniques.

The new Meisterstück covers suitable for iPhones and iPads are exclusively available in Rustan’s Makati Shangri-La Plaza and Newport City Mall.

The 2011 Jimmy Choo Bride

By | Bridal, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

 ‘As I reflected on the day I knew Lee and I were meant to be together… just like me and my Choos, they were mine, to have and to hold.’

Laura Marshall, United Kingdom – ‘My Choo Stories’ on jimmychoo.com

Jimmy Choo has long been recognised as the footwear of choice for walking down the red carpet, and is now delighted to discover another accolade; as the go-to shoe for walking down the aisle.  Jimmy Choo is celebrating brides this year with its special interactive section ‘My Choo Stories’, as part of the Choo Connection interactive platform on jimmychoo.com. 

I am delighted that women the world over are coming to us to be part of their most special day. It makes me so proud that the shoes and bags we create can make a bride feel beautiful and confident – and the rest of the wedding party of course!   We are delighted for brides to share stories of their special day on ‘My Choo Stories’ this year. Today, many brides are selecting non-traditional bridal shoes and some of our most popular bridal shoes are related to styles that have appeared on the red carpetTamara Mellon, OBE Founder and Chief Creative Officer. 

Highlights of the 2011 Bridal Collection include Reese Witherspoon recently wearing MACY for  her wedding, as well as Natalie Portman receiving her Oscar this year wearing a version of the same style, VITA seen on Sandra Bullock, LANCE seen on Jennifer Aniston and ZAFIRA as seen on Jennifer Lopez from the 15th Anniversary Crystal Collection.

Many of these styles are available in the house’s signature Champagne Glitter which is fast becoming the iconic bridal favourite.

Jimmy Choo offers the same full range of services to brides as it does for celebrities visiting the Oscar or Bafta suite including champagne shopping days for bridal parties, shoe dying both before the ceremony to match the dress, and after the ceremony to ensure the newlywed can wear the special shoes again.

 

While the bridal collection is available online at jimmychoo.com and through most freestanding Jimmy Choo stores, the  London Sloane Street,  Milan Via Sant Andrea, and Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills flagship  Jimmy Choo stores have intimate private bridal salons with an extended selection where a bride can try her dress and shoe in privacy.

 

Jimmy Choo is encouraging brides to share their story on ‘My Choo Stories’.  Tamara Mellon, OBE will select the ultimate Jimmy Choo bridal story at the end of May and the winner will receive their choice of shoes or bag from the current collection as their Wedding Present from Jimmy Choo.

The Art of Capodimonte

By | Great Achievements, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Heart2Heart loves meeting owners of businesses and listening them narrate their history, the composition and quality of their products, how they are made and how they became what they are today…successful craftsmen and entrepreneurs

capodimonte.jpg

I was honored to meet Devis Rossi, son of the owner of Devis Ceramiche from Italy 

capodimonte1.jpgcapodimonte7.jpgcapodimonte10.jpgcapodimonte14.jpgcapodimonte8.jpgcapodimonte11.jpg

Thanks to our lovely host, Tessa

Devis explained to us everything about his family business.  Since he was a kid, he was already exposed to the business and he was also made to help in production which explains why Devis can make the flowers out of clay that are being used to decorate the porcelain pieces 

capodimonte3.jpgcapodimonte5.jpg

You will see many copies of this item made in China or made in other Asian countries, but this is the original which is from Italy.  In Makati store, many were already sold as soon as it arrived in the selling area and I heard when Fia Llige, my friend, who hosted in the Alabang store, that everything was sold out!!  Everyone wanted their pieces signed by Devis 🙂
