A Smile in the city
After a grand opening and a few last touches with the paintbrush, The Smile is finally ready to welcome lovers of such unique atmospheres.
Designed by Carlos Quirarte and Matt Kliegman, The Smile is a wonderful place to be alive. Both a café and a concept store, the little boutique on 26 Bond Street offers a sharp selection of rare and irresistible objects. Moscot glasses, teas by Mariages Frères, men’s items by Adam Kimmel, candles by Cire Trudon surrounding our Wool and The Gang kits of course !
On the other side of the old counter, we find Melia Marden, the trendiest snack-maker in New York, who prepares right in front of you, an absolutely incredible "Brie and Chocolate Baguette" (isn’t that right, Jade?). This young woman has created a French-inspired lunch menu to knock you off your feet, a must in NYC.
Carlos, madly in love with the New York artistic scene, has reserved a special place at the heart of the shop. Above the mantelpiece, an artist will be installed each month. A work of art hung from the brick wall, with books, DVDs and CDs that inspire him will be on sail. For the opening, the mantelpiece has been dedicated to Nate Lowman, and in April it will be the turn of photograph Stephen Shore.
With Scott Campbell (one of the most respected tattoo-artists in New York) who's installing his parlour in the basement and with an incredible coffee machine from 1963 (Faema E61), The Smile has the ambition of offering the warmest place in the Big Apple to welcome creative people.

A craving for knitting
When I first met Wool And The Gang co-founder Carolyn Main last December, I wasn't a knitter. And yet, I really wished I had a kit with me on the Eurostar. It actually felt like a craving.
Well I've finally done it. I went to see Caro last weekend and I had, of course, packed my Ultra Violet Crazy Sexy Wool.
I've basically started this project - kind of a tote bag, cause I'm always carrying a lot of stuff all organized in seperate bags - 2 weeks ago when I joined the Gang. I've started with our Video Tutorials and the precious help of the best teacher ever: Chloé. Usually when I get stuck in a knitting drama, I hold it safely and wait for Chloé to fix it.
But when it happened on the Eurosar, I just couldn't face the failure and I had to handle it by myself. Thanks to my mobile phone we managed to exchange photos of the drama and tips to my rescue. Next time, I'll watch the tutorials before getting stuck.
THANK YOU MY TURKISH DELIGHT!
