Fashion + technology = Double happiness

Like the Chinese symbol for "double happiness," fashion and technology are modern examples of two things that are better together.

That's why HP and fashion designer Vivienne Tam — author of the lavishly illustrated book China Chic and one of People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People⁽¹⁾ — have teamed up to add even more style to your digital experience the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition: the world’s first "digital clutch.".⁽²⁾

The power of peonies

Gleaming red and bursting with pink and purple peony flowers, the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition is the perfect embodiment of double happiness — Tam's stunning design on the outside and HP's reliable technology on the inside for the portability of a mini computer and the look of a clutch..

Tam personally designed the finishing touches, including an elegant embroidered HP Vivienne Tam sleeve that will ship with the mini to help keep the exterior protected.

Her goal was to design a system that would encourage the feeling of peace and tranquility you get from being in a garden. (Everyone needs a little "Zen" moment now and then!)

Adding to the mood, the enter key on the HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition includes the Chinese symbol for double happiness. Tam explains that she chose peonies because they are the most beautiful flowers and have many layers of unfolding blossoms — much like the layers of a busy woman's life. As the digital clutch helps you juggle the demands of home and office, it can also remind you of what's beautiful and feminine in your life. It's a design that's continued to grow on her. In fact, it's incorporated into her spring 2009 line of clothes, as well as the invitations to her show and a new carrying case she'll be selling in her stores.
