MONO’S 365 DJ PACK

NEED YOU GUYS TO SEND ME 1 OF THESE Mono’s 365 DJ Pack, For Mobile Beats On the road, DJs shouldn’t be bothered to tote their computer and mixing gear in separate bags, nor should they be throwing their equipment into some ill-fitting duffel. Mono rolls everything into one with the 365 DJ Pack, designed for soundmakers who are always bouncing between gigs, often by plane. Inside, a divider separates computer from mixer, and there are side pockets for all your wires and adapters. Military-grade construction protects gear from the elements, and a solid rubber sole at the bottom is made of the same material used in Navy rafts. And with a stealthy design, no one will ever know there’s a DJ in their midst. The 365 DJ Pack is selling for a reduced price of $190. [via Mono]

PRADA BAG

LADY LIFERS WHERE YOU AT ?? It’s hard to consider fur-covered handbags when we are approaching the month of August but Prada is tempting those looking for a hot new autumn bag by displaying their Visone Hobo. Enveloped in super-soft mink from Denmark in a rich, chocolatey brown this luxurious bag perches on your arm with double handles or a detachable shoulder strap. I find it a bit odd that a bag of this caliber, available for $4,950 at Saks, features a faux leather lining. Why not real leather? Yet the stately design and glamorous feel of the Visone Hobo still wins me over. Obviously it is expected to be a popular item as Saks.com will be restricting each customer to purchasing no more than three units in a period of thirty days. (9″ x 13″ x 9″)
