utiqueStill more luxury vending machines!

U*tiques have come to Segal’s Studio. The U*tique offers an selection of luxury and personal care items – gadgets, makeup, skincare and hair-care items by high-end and niche labels.

The creator of the Ut*tique was 29 year old Mara Segal who said “I wanted to bring luxury personal-care products to women who are racing from a hotel to a meeting or a workout and perhaps forgot a lip balm.”

Plans are to install the U*tiques in hotel lobbies, gym locke rooms, nightclubs lounges and yes, airports over the next two years.

Its a terrific idea and looks great. I think in Domestic Airports in particular it would go brilliantly for the business woman flyer who, from person experience, always ends up forgetting something.
