I’m sure you have in your travels have come across the classic minimalist Penguin classic covers

Well, a number of the classic reads have had a bit of a face-lift thanks to a group of designers and Aids awareness fund (RED) teaming up with the book publisher Penguin books

Dracula designed by Non-Format

The Secret Agent designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith (Penguin Press art department)

Notes From Underground designed by Gray318 (Jon Gray)

Henry here at Design Tavern has proven now that he has an eye for innovative design and all things inspiring. Knowing him personally, thus, has its perks. Especially when they come in the form of a gorgeous Kitty Came Home vintage fabric clutch.

Kitty Came Home was founded by Katrina Weber in 2004. Based in Adelaide, Weber pieces together these delightfully lovely purses, wallets, journals and jewellery.

According to her website -

Kitty-ethos involves the creation of products that give back to our world. With her mere two hands, in comparison to Kitty’s four paws, Weber outsources work locally, particularly to community organisations. As well, the Kitty Came Home range is made with consideration to our environment, using predominantly recycled materials that simultaneously reinvent cast aside snippets of domesticity.

While Weber is certainly the owner behind Kitty Came Home, anyone who has spent time with cats knows that they are independent beings that like to explore the world themselves and make their own tales

Cute, durable, innovative and oh-so-chic…what’s not to love?

For more information on Kitty Came Home, you can visit her website, read her blog or merely window shop through her collection.

Most loved up girls will expect roses or chocolates or perhaps a big diamond ring? Me I’d rather treat myself (in my dreams of course) to some tasty finger bling.

Danish jewellery designer Emquies Holstein’s gold chocolate wrapper ring would certainly be my new best friend.

Cora Sheibani’s quaint dessert inspired finger candy are drool inducing. Coupled with delicious recipes, her intriguing book is definitely on the ‘treat myself’ list. Jewellery and baking, a match made in heaven. Check out her book at www.corasheibani.com

Perhaps Melbourne based designer Lucy Folk’s quirky collection of food inspired handiwork will encourage me to get creative with food. Take a look at Lucy’s website for more ‘wearable food pieces’.

But if 18 carat gold tarts and sapphire cavier are stretching the budget here’s my pick of more affordable food inspired treats…
