ralph lauren cooper calfskin belt
A belt, for men, is more important a piece of the attire than you might think. A nice, clean belt can do wonders for dressing up the mid-section. This piece from Ralph Lauren will do the trickâcrafted from “the finest calfskin” and made in Italy, the clean-cut design with the nice solid brass buckle will stand the test of time. Just treat it well.

Eva solo dish cloth
Was a dish cloth the only thing in the kitchen not to have received the “design” treatment? No longer. This microfiber and foam cloth comes to us courtesy of Eva Solo. The cloth, due to its construction, retains its shape after use for convenient placement on the included stand. We hate dish clothes laying around the kitchen so we really love it, and can’t wait to get one.
