Let’s talk mail. No, not email, nothing so throwaway. I’m talking letters – proper letters, delivered to your postbox and preferably handwritten with a proper ink pen. Letters like that deserve some ceremony in their opening, and thankfully here’s just the letter opener for the task. Purisme’s carbon-fiber letter opener, designed by Mario Zeppetzauer, is a luxury slice of award-winning (and expensive) envelope-slicer, and the guys at Yanko Design have been playing with it.








I’m all for luxury items, but some things border on ridiculous. And in this bad economy, it’s even more disheartening to see things you could never possibly afford. But that won’t stop me from writing about it!
