To thank for a wonderful exciting year I invited for the last TAVOLATA 2011 and now I’m looking forward to many enjoyable evenings in 2012.
One thing I really like about shopping at holstee is the note when you want to Checkout your cart that says: “Reduce where possible: if you dont need something don’t buy it :)”
I totally agree but then there are times, like christmas, you might be tempted to buy some needless things just for fun or to make someone happy…
Here are some christmas present ideas my family gave each other
Essen gehn! | something sociable, having dinner with someone and discover new places in your town
Olio Fratelli Sanfilippo | always necessary to have a good olive oil
La Cocotte Staub | we had five under our christmas tree it’s almost a family tradition to have one or two
City Guide | usually I buy these for myself as a voucher for a next trip…
Photobook | it’s just nice to reminisce after a journey
Magazine | an interesting gift that comes six times a year
Beanies | for cold days and comfy moments
Shaving | for all the beards – just don’t shave them too short…
So now, happy gift wrapping and a wonderful time with family and friends!
Thanks to Creative Mornings I had the chance to listen to Fabian Pfortmüller talking about the project Holstee. In a very sympathetic talk he explained how it all began with the idea to produce T-Shirts with a special holster-positioned pocket, this has led to the Name Holstee (holster tee) and prompted the friends to quit their jobs. The first thing Holstee’s three founders -Mike, Fabian and Dave- then did was sit together and write down what they wanted from life and how to create a company that breathes their passion into the world. It was a reminder of what they live for. The result became known as the Holstee Manifesto. Since then they work, produce, spread and live this lifestyle.
It sounds simple. logical. obvious. the right thing. I hope I find the courage to do so too.
At DesignSchenken | ZH I met Jana with her brand RoyalBLUSH. Not only the products impressed me but also her ideals behind the label. Each piece is made of vegetable tanned leather or organic salmon, manufactured with local handcraft. Salmon leather is something I’ve never seen before and indeed is a very new and innovative material to use in this industry. As the skins form a by-product of the food industry, the animals are not specifically bred or killed for their skin. The plant based tanning process preserves the skin’s pigmentation and characteristic structure and makes it a very refined and special material for her products.
Janas slogan “Accessories with a conscience” are not just empty words but her real passion and believe.
