INTO THE FOLD
Soh Sze Tiong created the duo leather Le Deluge Parker because savvy jetsetters need travel accessories that are fabulous as well as functional. And Soh should know; the designer and strategy consultant commutes between Singapore and Milan to collaborate with creative minds on all sorts of drool-worthy products. Le Deluge Parker, one of the few non-collaborative items stocked by Soh’s label 72Smalldive (www.72smalldive.com), is a clutch that unfolds into a roomy tote. Unfolded, it’s great for carrying onboard – the calf leather and hair hide bag will easily hold your jacket and paperback novel.
Available in Singapore at The Blackmarket (19 Jalan Pisang, tel +65 6296 8512) and Quintessential (9 Scotts Road, #02-01 Pacific Plaza, tel +65 6738 4811).
SHOP BY NUMBER
240,000m2 of floor space, 370 stores and 111m of beachfront terrace. Th ese are the vital statistics of the newly opened CentralFestival Pattaya Beach (www.centralfestival.co.th). The behemoth mall in the heart of Pattaya makes the best of its location with an outdoor seaview cinema, al fresco dining (open until past midnight), and an Asian zone dedicated to local-style handicraft s. For a little Th ai flavour, dine at Jim Thompson Café on the ground floor, then shop at Shaka London (Level 1), a confusingly named label by award-winning Thai fashion designer Chatree Tengha.
SHARP SHOOTER
For a pocket-sized camera that’s big on features, the Canon IXUS 100 IS is the slimmest IXUS ever, at just 1.84cm wide. Th e 12.1 megapixel snapper has clever functions for a little guy – like blink detection and high definition movie recording. The IXUS comes in four colours, but the matte black finish is a keeper – there’s no other Canon model in that shade. www.canon.com
