books actually shop window for the olympia le-tan exhibition
There’s nothing like the sight of the perfect shop, halfway around the world, to make me want to get on a plane immediately. Books Actually in Singapore is that kind of place. Not only did they host an Olympia Le-Tan exhibition in October (her book bags are to die for), but their label, Birds & Co, produces the most charming, minimalist stationery. Will be bringing an empty suitcase with me when I go. (If virtual travel is what you’re after, don’t miss the Books Actually blog and Flickr stream. The photos here are just scratching the surface. Monocle magazine, Maira Kalman, etc, etc ….)
