On first glance, I thought this Paul Smith cricket ball looked pretty wanky. But on closer inspection, it does really look pretty cool. And I’m assured it’s a fully functional cricket ball. And you’d just have to play proper cricket with it too, dressed in black tie, with a bat made of ivory and Nazi gold. Find out more after the jump.
It’s $230, is 100% cork innards wrapped in 100% calf leather, and “sports” (Geddit?! Because cricket is a SPORT yeah?) the iconic stripes, gold rabbit logo and Paul Smith Signature. Alot of what I just described you can probably see from the photo, but I’m desperately trying to make this seem longer. There, perfect.

I learnt about the existence of this yesterday and was a proud possessor by the afternoon. This must be the most useless thing I have bought recently, but equally, I knew it would be so am not disappointed. Of course, you can’t play cricket with it, as that would damage it. You don’t even dare handle it for fear of the gold rabbit coming off. So there it sits, making me look as if I have more money than sense. What a wonderful thing. The only worry I have is that Paul Smith might apply his stripes to every known artifact in the world – which would end up being very expensive.
Nice one on the blog Alex, good read.
