Softy, softly
My First Cashmere Toy Collection by Loro Piana is full of perfect gifts for the budding cashmere enthusiast. It features a vintage car (HK$4,800), a helicopter (HK$4,800) and motor boat (HK$4,800), as well as animals such as the vicuna (HK$4,300) and merino sheep (HK$4,300); a little tribute to the prized animals that supply the brand with its raw materials. Each of the toys are made using craft techniques, and include hand-made details, such as the hooves of the vicuna soft toy and the wheels of the car. Follow the Loro Piana evolution on Page 26.
The perfect formula
Who hasn't dreamt of sitting in a Formula 1 cockpit? Inspired by the original legendary Ferrari Formula 1 cars, the Ferrari F1 go-kart will get the adrenalin pumping in any young racer. The real F1 air tyres, aerodynamic side-skirts, rear wings, nose spoiler and steering wheel - not to forget the stickers with the logos of all the sponsors - make it difficult to distinguish between this and the original. Suitable for children three to eight years old, the Ferrari F1 comes with an adjustable seat and steering wheel. bergtoys.com
