"OH MY GOD HE'S SO CUTE AND I MUST HAVE HIM AND OH MY GOD WHY IS HE SO EXPENSIVE? LIFE IS SO UNFAIR."
That's what I screeched at my computer screen (much to the confusion of everyone else at Sluttery HQ). I'm in a bit of a sulk now, to be honest. But isn't he cute? He's not an elephant. Oh no. He's a moneyphant. And he's looking after two little baby woodyphants. Georg Jensen, you wonderful fool.
I'm fully aware that £91 on a money box is totally stupid. I'm not even going to pretend it isn't. If I spent that on a money box, I'd have no money to put in my money box. Instead I'd have to use him as a paperweight for all of the angry letters my bank would send me. But I still think he's absolutely wonderful. This is a gorgeous piece of design. Alfredo Haberli is the designer behind it and if you do have slightly more money than sense and you're totally bowled over by the moneyphant's cuteness, you can buy him and his little babies from Heal's.
If you need me, I'll be avoiding all web browsers until the urge to buy one has well and truly vanished.
You could get a Georg Jensen elephant bottle opener. Smaller but cheaper and possibly more practical!
ReplyDeleteBut he doesn't have a cute name. Or cute babies.
