Sleeping Bags Are Sleepwear

Is it possible for Sleeping Bags to be considered Sleepwear?  I am not sure if the customs office agrees, but wearable sleeping bags sure appear to have similarities to sleepwear.

Inspired by the lost Selk'nam natives of Tierra del Fuego, Chile, the Selk'bag has a rich history of innovation, technical proficiency, and worldwide recognition from its creation in 2006 through today.

Originally developed in 2006, the Selk'bag Sleepwear System was created by Rodrigo Alonso of Musuchouse in Santiago, Chile.  Winning regional praise and recognition, Rodrigo Alonso commercialized the Selk'bag working with Lippi Outdoor, a 30-year-old technical mountain gear company also of Santiago, Chile later that year.

KATE bag by Oberwerth

New bag for fashion photographers and fashionistas on the go.

Oberwerth, a manufacturer of exclusive camera bags that are 100% handmade in Germany, is today launching an international crowdfunding campaign for a luxurious yet infinitely versatile designer bag, the KATE model. This new addition to the Oberwerth range is also entirely handmade in Germany.

Koblenz, Germany/Atlanta, USA, 9th of November 2015 - Oberwerth, manufacturer of exclusive, high-quality camera bags, has launched an international Kickstarter campaign at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/446809181/kate-the-infinitely-versatile-all-in-one-designer. The aim is the successful launch of KATE, its new versatile designer bag, which is masterfully crafted and sustainably and responsibly produced. The KATE is a continuation of Oberwerth’s design philosophy. It’s not just a bag, it’s an idea; a statement of timeless elegance and high functionality. Outstanding quality, stunning craftsmanship and sustainable, responsible production are the core values behind the design. The finest materials, intelligent design and first-class craftsmanship are combined to create a premium product that Kickstarter can help to introduce directly to people who appreciate high quality and workmanship, without the need for any intermediary stages.

With a funding target of 25,000 US dollars, supporters can make contributions of between $49 and $479, and early supporters will be rewarded with the chance to buy the KATE in leather for only $299. This and the other campaign prices will be around 40 per cent below the future RRP.

Product designer Regina Immes says: "The KATE model is our first project that doesn’t explicitly focus on photographers. We’re aiming to use Kickstarter to introduce it to a community that values high functionality and the ultimate in style. With Kickstarter’s help, we are hoping to create a bag for this demographic that would be much more expensive following the usual rules of the fashion industry.” The timelessly elegant, extremely light KATE bag can be used a handbag, messenger bag, laptop and/or camera bag, for work or leisure as easily as for shopping or camera equipment. A special camera insert can also be added, which holds a camera and two lenses. Featuring adjustable partitions, it can be tailored to your equipment and its sturdy Velcro fastening keeps everything in place.

A bag for all occasions

The KATE bag is made from premium leather or as a light version from sturdy CORDURA®, an extremely light yet durable material. All of the fastenings are also made in Germany and meet rigorous quality standards. The KATE is available in ten different color and material combinations and a choice of gold or silver details.

Also available are a matching key wallet and clutch, which can be attached to the main bag. These “mini KATE” items have space for your keys, makeup and other small items so that they’re always on hand when you need them. Two straps of different lengths make the KATE bag hugely versatile, allowing you to wear it both on the arm, over the shoulder or across the body. Photographers around the world already rely on Oberwerth, and the company’s designs have won distinguished awards, including the POP Award in 2014 and the Red Dot Award in 2015.

The Birkin Bag Price

Would you like to own one?  We believe it is worth the price... Do you?

The Birkin bag also known simply as ’Birkin’, is one of the most iconic and coveted handbags in the world. Handmade in France by expert artisans, using the finest leather from different French tanners, each Birkin is hand-sewn, buffed, painted, and polished.  The manufacturing process takes several days to finish a single bag. A genuine Birkin bag is beautiful, timeless, elegant, and will last its owner a lifetime.  In fact, it can potentially be past down from generation to generation.

This exquisite handbag is produced by Hermès.

The bag is a symbol of wealth due to its high price and usage by celebrities.  The cost escalates depending on the type of materials.  We have heard prices between $7,400 to $150,000 for a single unit.

Birkin bags are sold in a range of sizes. Each one may be made to order with different customer-chosen hides, color, and hardware fixtures. There are other individual options, such as diamond-encrusting. The bag also has a variety of hides.  The metallic hardware (the lock, keys, buckle hardware, and base studs) are plated with gold or palladium to prevent tarnishing.

Did you know that it was names after actress and singer Jane Birkin?

In 1981, Hermès chief executive Jean-Louis Dumas was seated next to Jane Birkin on a flight from Paris to London. She had just placed her straw bag in the overhead compartment of her seat, but the contents fell to the deck, leaving her to scramble to replace them. Birkin explained to Dumas that it had been difficult to find a leather weekend bag she liked. In 1984, he created a black supple leather bag for her, based on an 1892 design. She used the bag for herself then later changed her mind because she was carrying too many things in it: “What’s the use of having a second one?” she laughs. “You only need one and that busts your arm; they’re bloody heavy. I’m going to have to have an operation for tendonitis in the shoulder.”   Nevertheless, the bag has since become an icon.

If you are not familiar with Jane, here is a brief summary of her career.  Birkin emerged in the Swinging London scene of the 1960s, appearing briefly in the 1966 film Blowup, and as the fantasy-like model in the psychedelic Wonderwall from 1968. That same year, she auditioned in France for the lead female role in Slogan. Though she did not speak French, she won the role. She co-starred with Serge Gainsbourg, and performed with him on the film's theme song, "La chanson de slogan" — the first of many collaborations between the two. In 1969, she and Gainsbourg released the duet "Je t'aime... moi non plus" ("I love you... me neither"). Gainsbourg originally wrote the song for Brigitte Bardot. The song caused a scandal for its sexual explicitness, and was banned by radio stations in Italy, Spain, and the UK.  She took a break from acting in 1971–72, but returned as Brigitte Bardot's lover in Don Juan, or If Don Juan Were a Woman in 1973.  In 1975, she appeared in Gainsbourg's first film, Je t'aime... moi non plus, which created a stir for frank examination of sexual ambiguity. For this performance she was nominated for a Best Actress César Award.  Birkin in 1985 Birkin appeared in the Agatha Christie films Death on the Nile (1978) and Evil Under the Sun (1982), and recorded several albums, including Baby Alone in Babylone, Amours des Feintes, Lolita Go Home and Rendez-vous. She won Female Artist of the Year in the 1992 Victoires de la Musique.  She had many additional accomplishments, but we will not mention them now because this fashion blog post is about the bag and not the actress.
Do you know how to tell the difference between a Hermes Birkin handbag and a Hermes Kelly handbag?

Visible difference between the Hermès Birkin and Hermès Kelly handbag. The easiest way to identify the difference between the handbags is the handles. The single handle handbag is the Kelly, and the Birkin has two handles.
Although the Birkin bag is free of logos, it is one of the most recognized bags in the fashion industry and by the public.


If you own this lovely bag or would like to, please share your thought regarding it in the comment section below.  Do you believe it is worth the price?

Founded in 1961, Yves Saint Laurent was the first couture house to introduce the concept of luxury pret-a-porter in a 1966 collection called "Rive Gauche," synonymous with youth and freedom. This shift represented a first critical step in the modernization of fashion and revolutionized the socio-cultural landscape. In 1999, the luxury goods division of the PPR Group acquired Yves Saint Laurent and, under the creative direction of Hedi Slimane since March 2012, continues to position the house at the summit of the luxury universe. Today, Saint Laurent collections include women's and men's ready-to-wear, shoes, handbags, small leather goods, jewelry, scarves, ties, and eyewear. Parisian by birth and Los Angeleno by choice, Hedi Slimane is lauded not only for his work as a designer and photographer—but also for his past contributions during his tenure as menswear director for the house.

Shop at Neiman Marcus to find the great Saint Laurent monogrammed bags pictured above.

A monogram is a motif made by overlapping or combining two or more letters or other graphemes to form one symbol. Monograms are often made by combining the initials of an individual or a company, used as recognizable symbols or logos

In French, "Un monogramme est un emblème qui réunit plusieurs lettres en un seul dessin, avec ou sans ornements supplémentaires. Comme tout emblème, il représente une personne, une entité ou un groupe. Il peut aussi servir à signer, à marquer un sceau, des meubles ou tout autre objet appartenant au propriétaire ou au titulaire du monogramme."

The luxury handbags pictured above are only a small portion of the Saint Laurent collection that you can find at Neiman Marcus.  We decided to showcase a few of the black bags but they also have numerous YSL Monogramme bags in fashion colors.

What to do with Old Handbags

Did you ever get some time to look at your wardrobe? It is almost filled with your old and new clothes, photo albums, hair accessories, clutches, purses and handbags. There is a stash collection of old handbags. No doubt, these are the bags that are your love at some time. You did not even want to throw it out. It is best to utilize your old handbags for some other useful purposes. Do you know what to do with old handbags?  There are multiple uses of an old handbag. 

CGear Tote Bag - sand free

Traveling can be a messy business. Having a big tote bag that you can toss snacks into and other items that you want to have easily accessible might seem efficient until you unpack and find the bottom of the bag covered in crumbs and grime. 

Mesh-Bottom Beach Bag for Less Sand

INTRODUCING THE NEW SHAKE WOMEN’S TOTE
A Mesh-Bottom Beach Bag for More Fun, Less Sand

Introducing the new Shake women’s tote, a mesh-bottom beach bag for more fun and less sand. Available on Quirky.com for $39.99, Shake was invented by celebrity chef Spike Mendelsohn and Charlie Dougiello and was developed by Quirky’s online community.

Life’s a beach, but when sand gets into your bag… well, now that’s just a b*#%h. Shake totes are designed to keep your items in and the sand far away. The bags feature a reversible flap that can be pinned to either side, allowing you to reveal or conceal the netting at will. Flip the bottom flap to reveal mesh netting that keeps your beach swag in while you shake unwanted sand out. Its coated canvas repels water, its roomy interior includes a zippered pocket for valuables, and its soft plastic straps won’t slip off your shoulder.

Like all Quirky products, Shake was invented and influenced by real people like you. Avid summer surfers Charlie Dougiello and Spike Mendelsohn spend a lot of time at the beach, waging a constant war against sand in their stuff.
