Make a fashionable yet personal statement
February 3rd, 2008
I first reviewed Smoy’s line of wearable art back in October, 2006. The Soho PhotoCuff was an instant hit with my girls; they loved being able to personalize the bracelet and change it up whenever they wanted. I loved the simple yet cool design and knowing I wouldn’t have to wipe any tears over lost charms. My girls were pretty excited when they saw the newest Smoy styles: the Noho PhotoCuff and matching Noho iPod case.
Inspired by the beauty of lace the Noho line has beautifully delicate lines yet is made from high-quality vegan leather (vinyl). Laser-cut and hand assembled by the artist, the PhotoCuff has four frames, closes with snaps and is available in five colors. My fave is the pink, and that’s not just because it’s the color I reviewed firsthand. The matching iPod case has one frame and fits snugly yet the fabric is thin enough to operate the scroll wheel without removing your iPod from the case. In both designs your photos are held securely between layers of the PhotoCuff and covered in clear plastic to protect them from everyday use. Smoy makes it easy to make a fashionable yet personal statement. They even have a fun floral PhotoCuff just for kids!
And with Valentine’s around the corner, a Smoy Noho PhotoCuff or iPod case would be perfect for your family and friends. Surprise them and make it truly personal by filling it with photos before gifting it. Fashionable and personal–the perfect Valentine’s gift combination! –Emily
