Accessories by Isaac Reina
In Store, Staff Picks | Published on March 15, 2010Isaac Reina started a fashion line under his name in 2006 and opened his first shop in Paris the same year. Previously working with Hermès, he is the currently an accessories designer for Maison Martin Margiela.
Attention to detail is evident when you look at the quality of his minimal and timeless collections. There’s not a single part of his design that is excessive. This makes his line so unpretentious and something that can be used for the rest of our lives. For many of us who believe in craftsmanship, you can truly find the appreciation through the quality of his work.

In Store, Inform News | Published on March 12, 2010New to the store are the fantastic French crystal makers Baccarat. With a heritage starting in 1764 by permission of King Louis XV, the factories are located in the village of its namesake in Northern France.
The STARCK ZENITH CHANDELIER shown above was originally designed for the Maison de Baccarat, when the company moved its headquarters to Paris. The witty play of light and dark by Philip Starck was so popular that the chandelier was added to the collection.
Collaborations with some great designers has reinvented Baccarat for many contemporary applications. The collection below was designed by Arik Levy the Torch pendant and table lamp, and the Fantome suspension lamp. These designs stay true to the roots of Baccarat but break down their traditional chandeliers to their basic forms.
