Fruit-a-Porter!

Vitasnella Combines Food and Fashion With New Fruit-a-Porter Purses

These Fruit-a-Porter purses are all part of Italian brand VitaSnella’s new marketing campaign for their line of fruit crackers. With the tag line “Fruit A-Porter. The good of fruit always with you” the campaign seeks to cash in on the allure of fashion as well as food.

Milanese ad agency Euro RSCG conceived the Fruit-a-Porter purses. We wonder if these ads will inspire designers to make purses out of real (or fake) fruit next season. I mean if Louis Vuitton can use garbage bags as inspiration, this can’t be far behind, right?

Homemade Popcorn Flavors

Old-fashioned Popcorn Maker

 

I bought a Geepas popcorn maker a few months ago from Sheeel.com, you might also be able to find it at Deals.com.kw for KD9.500 (including delivery charges). This popcorn maker is good enough compared to it’s low price and I was happy with it… but keep in mind that you won’t be able to use oil nor any flavorings because it doesn’t have a stainless steel kettle (like the one in the above photo)… to be honest I didn’t think much of it at the time, not until I saw these photos! 😮
