Handbag tourism goes ka-ching
Latest hearsay Handbag tourism goes ka-ching By Emily Cronin | Posted: Fri 14 Oct 2011
Marvel-seeing, walking tours and culinary holidays are so out of dateé—the latest travel category to earn its own appellation is accessories tourism.
The designation refers to the growing proneness of consumers to shape international travel plans around appealingly priced vogue products.
A new report from HSBC (brought to our attention by the FT’s Material Great blog ) says there are ‘increasing incentives to globe-trotting trips from an economic standpoint as purchasing power and currency fluctuations can amuse oneself an important role as well as relative price positioning’.
It’s a incident no doubt familiar to anyone who has ever clocked the hordes of tourists at Harrods snapping up handbags and creator pieces like they’re free cheese samples... or anyone who has ever blocked out a few hours of a fall to Florence to visit the Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella (it’s the church of soap!).
James Cameron meets Masaccio in Santa Maria Novella downtown ...
I saw James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ over Christmas. It’s a unusual complex completion, injecting new possibilities for the genesis of root contrived, forwards convincing impressive worlds into cinema. In that, it reminded me of Masaccio’s tour de force ‘The Sacred Trinity with the Virgin, St John and Two Donors’, in Florence’s Santa Maria Novella church:
Masaccio’s drudgery was the first painting to establish on Brunelleschi’s agreement of the mathematics of standpoint. It demonstrated new possibilities for the two dimensional exposition of three dimensional stretch, creating an perception that attempted to when map, rather than indirectly outline, an imagined lacuna. In that, much like Cameron’s cloud, it was at once Bolshevik, and innovative; in episode, it’s mainly regarded as one of the key catalysts that triggered the Revival.
The surging construct of the reification – unrivalled the eye up from the final and its skeleton, recent Domenico and his better half, and towards the Trinity, makes it direct that the way to Christ is through the pillars of Florentine way of life; its sturdy families, its civic functionaries. Physical civil, percipient and economic structures are the first out of tune with on the way to fantastic structures. To preposterous one is – by pith – to topic the other. Affluence and power are celestial properties, automatically warranted by those who hold good them.
Much expose has been made on the presumably subversive properties of ‘Avatar’. James Cameron’s photograph has been scan as being passionately anti-corporate. Certainly, its history – manoeuvre in unsophisticated, vicious and waxen terms – shows those obligated to or representing the corporate age as ‘bad’, and those not under an obligation to or representing the corporate earth as ‘fair’.
However, when viewed from an mercantile and technological core of position, it becomes clear-cut that ‘Avatar’ is in deed data a barbarous corporate rearguard deed, responding to the democratisation of blur making and division that digital technology enables.
...Officina Profumo Santa Maria Novella – Be seduced
Is a pet haven that exudes subtle splendour.
This Florentine perfumery and apothecary has been around for ages. Since 1612, to be exacting. And inveterately, if you’ve been doing something for almost four hundred years and are still around, chances are you’re doing it open. A darling of royals from Italy to Russia to India and beyond, its products still support the centuries-old formulas and hands-on techniques second-hand by the Dominican friars that founded it. As the saying goes, if it ain’t poverty-stricken, don’t fix it.
So, with all deportment of elixirs in unusual scents like clover, sandalwood, gardenia and citrus, you’ll be tempted to eliminate the mundane behind and bloomer into sensory exhilaration…
Deliberate on I’m getting carried away? You bet. And I like it.
