1 Gig Style: Designer USB Pendants
by Katrina Dy, Fashion Editor, Cosmopolitan
With technology so prevalent in our lives nowadays, it was inevitable that alliances would be formed with the world of fashion. Think Dolce and Gabbana’s super limited liquid gold Motorola RAZR V3i and the gaggle of designers coming out with their own iPod casings, from Chanel and Kate Spade, to Prada and Marc Jacobs. Even jeans are not spared: Levi’s is coming out with its RedWire iPod DLX jeans, where you can actually dock your iPod in the pocket of your Levi’s denim!
Yet another merger has taken place in the hands of talented Italian jewelry designer Francesco Lops. Francesco who has a flourishing career as an in-house designer for an illustrious pearl company, has created highly covetable USB “jewelry.” Set in sterling silver with details in enamel, these sophisticated pendants open to reveal a USB gadget with a mighty 1 gigabyte memory capacity. Francesco’s collection includes a line for both men and women, and comes in Tropical, Oxy, and Burst designs for women and Strips, Tracks, and Circuit for Men. The sleek and quirky designs are so irresistible, you’d be tempted to grab more than one for style’s sake.
The USB pendants retail for P5,700.

hi! got myself the aqua. eye candy with the promise of functionality. sadly it doesn’t work on all computers, laptops… so if you’re big on using your usb for sharing stuff at meetings or conference forget it. get yourself a back-up and wear this a pice of lovely jewelry.

hi, i saw this just now. am interested in getting 2. do you accept credit cards? are these in stores already? what are the chains made of, leather? or do they just come as pendants? they look so cute! thanks!

Does it work with a mac?
August 9th, 2006 at 2:44 am
To Aiya:
Yes, it will work with a mac. All USB flash drives will work with a mac. And I can’t think of any powered USB device that won’t work with a mac without a driver (unlike PCs!)
August 9th, 2006 at 9:02 am
Thanks for your quick response.
