CONTEGO’s ‘The Kipling’ frame, has been re-imagined for W Hotels with design influences from each of their three Global Glam locations. “For W Taipei, sharp red frames play to the vibrancy of the Taiwanese city. The eclectic W Austin will be home to country-inspired woodgrain frames. And an eye-catching green twist on a classic tortoise design can be found at W Mexico City.” The W Hotel inspired CONTEGO frames are available only at the W Hotels The Stores or online at contegoeyewear.com starting this August.

With Mongolian barbeques, the question isn’t always chicken or beef. Now that Puma and W hotels have teamed up to launch a Mongolian shoe barbeque, it’s also a question of leather or suede, red or purple, as W Hotel guests now have the opportunity to create their own custom-made Puma shoes in the privacy of their rooms.

Inspired by the tradition of creating personalized meals from a variety of ingredients, Puma’s collection for W Hotels enables guests to become involved in the art of shoemaking; they can pick from a wide assortment of pre-cut materials to design their own individualized pair of shoes. Unique accoutrements, including special W shoelaces and insoles, add to the ultimate practical souvenir. The concept launched at Puma stores in 2005 but a portable tray of options has been created especially for easy room delivery, which W’s exclusive Whatever/Whenever concierge service will transport. After selecting a desired combination, guests can go online and order their shoes at www.puma.com/whotels. The site will launch on November 14, marking the start of the one-year collaboration between W and Puma. Prices begin at $100 and guests will receive their customized kicks within six weeks of ordering.
Definitely an interesting move from Puma and a nice way of branding their Mongolian BBQ in a more high end market.

The Honeyee Store received some more pieces out of the Visvim G. Line (US only collection). This time they got in the G. Kiefer Hi 2-Tone. In general you can expect the G. Line pieces to be more colorful than the regular line and that is also the case for this new Kiefer Hi. It comes with a upper mixed of premium leathers and suede. The leather part comes in some stronger colors, overall there are four colorways – red, green, blue and black.
In general we are not big fans of the G. Line, but this G. Kiefer Hi 2-Tone looks great. Simple with just the right amount of color. Check out pictures of all colorways and details after the jump.
