London-based ceramist, Hitomi Hosono, has studied porcelain work in both the Japanese and European traditions. Her current collection is inspired by leaves and flowers, of which, she says: “I find myself drawn to the intricacy of plants, examining the veins of a leaf, how its edges are shaped, the layering of a flower’s petals. I look, I touch, I draw.â€

Found these fun bow ties on Japanese handmade site, Minne. Function is very unisex as the ties can be taken apart and used as a pin to attach to your hat or tote bag. The unnamed designer sells the ties under the brand, You and Tie by 0810, and can be followed here on Twitter.
