As an ex-pat, I always get a giggle out of seeing Australiana pop up elsewhere in the world. Today was no different, when I came across these totally cute “Amigo” leather desk accessories by Vacavaliente over at the MoMA store. Along with the kangaroo message organizer (for your cell and miscellaneous notes), there’s a piggy bank (who, rather charmingly, ‘poops’ out your money via a flap in its uh, bottom) and a caterpillar (for your pencils, pens and business cards). What a fun way to add a pop of color and personality to your boring cubical. Check out their full range of Amigos, plus a slew of other products, right here.

Hey, I just wanted to clear things up, the guys from Vacavaliente are from Argentina, not Australia! The collection is made of an ecological leather (remade from scrap)…
I specially like the stork!
Saludos!

I didn’t actually intend to insinuate they were Aussie – just that the existence of a kangaroo in their collection was amusing to me. I should have been a little clearer, in that sense. Sorry for the confusion!
