Gucci's renovated London store unveiled

Gucci unveils its newly renovated London flagship store as designed by Creative Director Frida Giannini. To celebrate the opening a unique selection of products have also been designed which are available exclusively to the Sloane Street store.

"I wanted to amplify the luxurious and intimate sensibility of the Gucci boutique environment to create an aesthetic that complements the history of the house, but at the same time ensures that it is thoroughly contemporary.
This design concept is a modern architectural statement that references iconic materials and elements from the past. Of course my emphasis has been to create backdrop to showcase the various collections in the strongest possible way."

The Sloane Street store was first opened in 1990 and covers 20,000 square feet over two floors. It is the fifth store in the world to reflect the new concept of Frida Giannini other stores include New York's Fifth Avenue, Rome's Via Condotti, Munich's Maximilian Strasse and Hong Kong's Canton Road.

Eclectic Eccentricity

This fab site has lots of lovely ideas for hand mades, lots of beautiful jewellery to inspire. Just wonderful!. You won't know where to start and what to buy first!

The world's smallest postal service

This is amazing. These guys will write a tiny letter for you, seal it with a wax seal with your initial on it, address it and package it up with a little magnifying glass and send it to the recipient!! I love it and am going to send one to my favourite person...

Guy Robot

I recently saw these robots created by a guy called guy! He makes robots from found objects- very cool!

PaperFunkPress

We recently stumbled across this great etsy store, PaperFunkPress which features some fab typography.

"PaperFunkPress was started in 2009 out of love for paper goods and hand rendered typography. After receiving a degree in graphic design from Kent State University and landing a job - it was time to branch out and explore new areas of design which hopefully others will enjoy".

Tigerprint Competition Survey

Over the next few weeks we will be regularly putting up surveys so that we can find out what you like and don't like about the site and what we can do to make it better. We would be most grateful if you could take a few minutes to fill out the first survey, a nice and easy one about who you like to design for. 

Also please feel free to leave any comments on the site or alternatively you may email Vic and [email protected].

Many thanks!
