101 things to do with bricks: accessorise


"A red clay brick designed and sold by skateboarding brand Supreme is on sale on eBay for up to $1,000 (£772), after selling out in a single day. The item, part of the New York brand’s accessories line that has previously included a hammer, calculator and fire extinguisher, is branded with Supreme’s logo and has been highly anticipated by fashion gurus since its preview last month."

Unfortunately, I was unaware of this when it was affordable, otherwise it would be in my motley collection!
