Bally previewed Gismar, a hand-stitched calfskin leather case for the MacBook Air during Paris fashion week.
Available in black or white with a signature Bally clasp, the sleek envelope design wouldn’t look out of place in the clutches of Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.
Leathergoods company Bally, which started out as a Swiss silk ribbon weaving outfit in 1821, has been trying to rejuvenate its prestigious, if slightly creaky, brand. Designer Brian Atwood’s third collection launched this fall was decidedly more “Hotel California” than Silversea Cruise.
Available in Bally stores worldwide in December, price not available.
Thin is in.

EVERYONE:
I’m not sure if you’ve heard about this, but there is a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT GOING ON AGAINST APPLE.
If you haven’t heard about the settlement, there is a cash payment if you purchased certain model Apple PowerBook or iBook computers, the power adapter failed within the first three years following the initial retail purchase of the computer, and you purchased a replacement adapter. If you have the 65W power cord for the iBook or Powerbook, this lawsuit might concern you.
The DEADLINE to file your own suit has been EXTENDED to February 11th, 2009, and in some cases until the end of May. If you want to opt out of the class action suit, you have until December 1st, 2008.
Here’s a link to the settlement website, where you can download a claim form and get more info about the settlement.
