So, if you're looking for accessories that says 'world' to you... or map, to be exact, then these lots that I found at Forzieri might hit the right notes. The material of the tote bags and the watch strap are leather, given the vintage map prints all over it. Pretty cool which add some quirky but interesting feature to it. I love the color, though - in neutral - that made it like the map which you've just unearthed from a hidden treasure box from an ancient city!
Btw, mentioning map there's an exhibition at British Library recently called the 'Magnificent Maps: Power, Propaganda and Art'. It showcases various map prints in a large format (wall map) which I think from many parts of the world. Some dated as early as the 16th century that is very rare to be seen, and some look quite modern as in the 20th century collection. It is truly a 'visual extravaganza' especially for those of you who like 'atlas'. Sadly to say, the exhibition has already ended (last September, sorry!), but who knows it'll make another round in other part of the world later.
Anyway, you can get your own antique atlas with these accessories...
