Travel/Style

It’s not often you find a corkscrew with a 10 year warranty. It’s also not often you find a corkscrew for $125, which is exactly how much a VIP Rabbit will set you back.

A corkscrew has definitely made my list of travel essentials. Sure, they are fairly cheap to buy any the same the world over, but anyone who has tried to purchase a wine or bottle opener late at night in a non-english-speaking foreign country and attempted to mime the action of a corkscrew to confused locals will know: it’s easier just to take one with you.

I don’t know about you, but when I hear the words corkscrew and Rabbit in the same sentence, I don’t immediately think of opening bottles of wine… but maybe thats just me.

Regardless of whether you drop a hundred bucks on this ergonomically designed beauty that opens a bottle in 3 seconds flat, or pick up an el-cheapo from a 99 cent store, a corkscrew is an essential for all travelling nomads.

As a bit of an *ahem* writer and jewellery lover, I’m slightly excited by any fashion accessories inspired by the font world.

Created by Ward Wallau, this wood and sterling silver stunner is available in all 26 letters of the alphabet as well as number 1-9, and even a couple of your favourite punctuations. And yes, these are pieces from an original printing press.

Now you may be thinking, “what does this have to do with travelling?” and the answer is not much.. but gosh, it’s lovely.

If you’re watching, Santa, I’ve been good all year…
