Duct tape goes designer, and metrosexuals everywhere rejoice

Duct tape goes designer, and metrosexuals everywhere rejoice

Anyone with a baby knows the brilliance that is duct tape.

No! I kid! Duct tape is only for older children and only when they're very very loud.

But for real, I do love duct tape and its 1001 uses and obviously I'm not alone. So it was only a matter of time before someone came up with designer duct tape to patch up basement furniture and garden hoses and tennis rackets with a little more panache than the age-old industrial silver stuff. Grab that swanky blue paisley one and go get to work fixing something. -Liz
