Shopkutu: Fabric Heaven and Beyond

At Hautekutu, rediscovering Peter Hoe Beyond housed on the 2nd Floor of the Lee Rubber Building, on Jalan Tun H. S. Lee was beyond delightful. The second-story loft with tons of natural light streaming through creates a perfect setting for the number of goodies you'll find spread out like candy on a countertop, giving the store a wonderful Greenwich Village ambience. Peter has always had an eye for tasteful home furnishings and at Beyond, you'll find an eclectic mix of the contemporary and vintagesque, and more importantly, bursts of colour, fabric and prints, everywhere you look.

From table dressing, to bed dressing, lounge dressing and more, Beyond has it all, along with matching robes, for the hostess with the 'lounge' mostest.

What we also love is the way Peter has brought chic to Malaysiana souvenirs.

Napkins sold in sets of two come in a matching fabric-wrapped box for RM39

State-specific souvenirs have never been so hip...

Fabric-wrapped notebooks that come in a voile bag and multi-printed shoulder totes make perfect Christmas presents

Pack your swimthings in a wetbag and go go go!

Hand-printed wrapping paper makes for happy endings...

Beyond also features a fabulous cafe with salads, sandwiches, and delectable baked goods such as quiche and brownies, perfect for mulling over shopping lists and getting over indecision. We know where we'll be this weekend!

Blues for Choos (a.k.a. I Choose Choos)

The mood at Hautekutu today is blue. This is because we will be several oceans and thousands of kilometers away from the H&M store when they launch the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection on November 14th. With a palette of blacks, whites and electric blue punctuated by crusty bling, studs and flashes of animal print, the collection channels Glam Rock but with luxe undertones of VIP green rooms, swag, free drinks, the smell of leather and caviar. Haute Privilege! The best part is that haute privilege comes at a non-haute price tag with this collection, which reminds us why we're sitting here feeling blue.

We're particularly loving how easy daytime looks can be glammed up for night, with the right finishes and accessories. We're coveting that buttery all-leather bag.

At Hautekutu, we love Electric Blue - we both drive electric blue cars - and this seemingly simple dress hits the spot with a surprisingly low back. Swervy curvy electric blue sandals are bound to add groove to your moves and certainly remind us of why we love Choos in the first place.

The men's collection is rather basic, we have to say, but there are good staples to add to one's wardrobe. Who can ignore a Choo leather jacket at under 200 pounds or a 100% leather weekender at 149 quid?

Fifi Lapin Cards it This Christmas

Possibly the most fashionable bunny in the world is Fifi Lapin, a socialite born into a family of 257 siblings, all of whom have died of myxomatosis, and is therefore sole 'hare-ess' to her father's carrot and lettuce fortune. Ah! The good life.

While Hautekutu has long coveted her prints and limited edition tees we're extremely excited to hear that Fifi has collaborated with Topshop to create a collection of haute mode Christmas cards featuring stylish lapins in Topshop outfits! And for charity too... It's just great to know that Fifi hearts Topshop too!

 

As Fifi advises, buy them here if you're from the UK, or  here if you're in the US.
