Greece is for lovers. It is.

Ok, lost for words. Pyrocks is a mosquito coil ring developed by Greece is for Lovers for a fragrance range by Korres Cosmetics. Should it go in production, I predict rocket sales at open air summer cinemas. It most likely won't. A bunch of other rather tasteful products/impossible souvenirs have though and are available at their renovated eshop section.
*they ship to almost anywhere.

fashionlover.gr - have you seen?

A couple of months old, fashionlover.gr is a fresh addition to the world of eshopping. What makes it good news is that finally there's a web destination including a sweet variety of Greek designer creations, making them accessible to anyone, anywhere. Happy to see some of this blog's favourites among them. On sale too ladies.

la.trap farewell bazaar

la.trap is changing. The Berlin aesthetics boutique that first opened in November 2010 by Psarokokalo & Evrydiki will soon relocate in two new spaces. But first, it's bazaar-time: a farewell clearance is scheduled for this coming Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th, for the last time at Trivonianou 56, Mets.

For the past few months, la.trap had a special place in Athens' responsible shoppers' heart for its carefully selected hand-made, well-made, choice of merchandise. Clothes, jewellery, dolls for kids but adults too, home decor and needlework among others as well as the philosophy of supporting young designers, small productions and eco friendly products.

I've saved most of its eflyers as they made my day being simple, happy and creative. Here's a retrospective, starting with the latest and quite possibly the last for it's current address:
