STEP UP YOUR ACCESSORIES GAME

We all play it. A subtle, secret game that’s as much a part of the tech scene as tshirts and twitter fights. A little game called “who has the coolest, most well-designed work accessories that nobody’s ever heard of before.” This week the Smarter Upstarter has a little find that’ll help you play this game of one-upmanship, and play it well.
It’s called VettedShop.com, and it has put a hurtin’ on my bank account this week. I’m talking card speakers, designy iPad sleeves, something called a technology stapler, and bar soap preposterously expensive enough to make Jack Dorsey proud. My suggestion? Ease into it. Start off with a Delfonics Rollbahn notebook, and let ‘em know that you’re so over Moleskine.
