Alchemy goods=Seat belts+Bags

For all of you pedal heads out there- Alchemy Goods in Seattle has been 'turning useless into useful' with their new bag lineup. Made from used tire inner tubes, seat belts, and other various recycled materials, Alchemy's Messenger Bag and Haversack surprised me with the level of style they've attained given the materials they're made of. On the upper right hand corner of the 'AG' logo, you'll find a small number with big significance: this number denotes the percent, by weight, of the recycled materials used to make your individual bag. I also got a kick out of some of the accessories Alchemy makes, including Schrader tire valve zipper pulls and the 'Bottle ReOpener,' which is made with used seat belt clasps. The term Alchemy refers to the medieval science of turning lead into gold; in a broader sense, it signifies turning something of lesser value into something of greater value. Alchemy Goods finds its value in environmental sustainability, and I like that.

After years of frustration when going out at night with the hassle of a purse falling off my shoulder or clutched in my hand, I have created the perfect solution for the ultimate party girl.

Enjoy a night of effortless style, take out your C.L.I.C.K. bag!The Designer - Mary Rambin
The designer who created Moe in an effort to combine fashion, utility, and comfort. While this goal might seem out of reach, she actually has constructed a handbag to fulfill all of these expectations:and so much more.
Reigning from Texas, Mary brings a southern sensibility to the Hollywood high life. Her career in fashion began as a teen runway model in Houston, yet she soon learned that her true calling was working behind the scenes. Refocusing her energies to photography and make-up, Mary was able to cultivate and sharpen her creative talents. Later, working for owners and designers of unique labels in Los Angeles, Mary focused her personal style to fuse modern trends with elegance and sophistication.
Mary's inspiration for Moe is two-fold. Her purses serve a purpose while being trendy, yet distinctive, from others in the market. Although some people are trying to fit in, most are attempting to be individual from the branded masses. Living in London among a population of unique individuals offered Mary a perspective of liberated style she had never before experienced. Moe is her means of providing American women with the same independence by rethinking trends and considering convenience.
Moe answers with the C.L.I.C.K. Bag, a product of Mary's determination to provide the perfect accomplice for all party girls who understand the secrets of being beautiful and making it effortless. Its moniker derives from the bag's intended contents, a woman's nightly essentials: Cell phone, Lip gloss, Identification, Cash, Keys. The C.L.I.C.K. bag is the Texas answer to a Hollywood problem: a product that is chic, yet simple and sophisticated.
While there are a plethora of small trendy bags available in the marketplace, Mary feels as though the designs have missed their mark. In other words, although the size of the purse is small, their burden is large. Wristlets, clutches, and shoulder bags are assumed to be good companions as they should not require your attention. However, each of these designs has failed to deliver its carrier a carefree attitude as the purse must be readjusted, set down, and supervised throughout the night.

Prado's Hystory. Bags

As is known to any woman, the ideal bag - a thing absolutely necessary, however absolutely uncertain, in fact it should be fashionable (and thus not ostentatious) and at the same time not only to correspond to one of fashionable trends of a season but also to embody its individual style. Bags Prada have become famous owing to high quality and aristocratic elegance.

Many years they keep a honorary title of the best bags in the world. It not simply accessory, not simply bag in which it is possible to carry any lovely ladies' stuff. Bags Prada without exaggeration can be named a work of art.

These fine, marvelous creations - from the beginning and up to the end result of work of masters of company Prada Company, and only them. They conceive design, create sketches and gather the isolated slices of leather, a rivet and locks which in their skilful hands change in a masterpiece of design art. Prada by the right has reputation of one of the most prestigious holdings working in the fashionable industry, both in native Italy, and behind its limits. Name Prada serves as a synonym of style, elegance of practical luxury, and handbags Prada associate with image of lady from the society, drawing general attention grace and nobleness of manners.

Legend Prada was born in Italy in 1913 when Mario Prada was founded small manufacture on manufacturing products from leather. Company Prada initially was family business and referred to Fratelli Prada (brothers Prada). Soon the company has occupied not only manufacturing, but also design of products, and has started to release become subsequently well-known the leather suitcases, bags and accessories. Has passed very few time, and mark Prada was already popular far outside native Italy. Products with modest trade mark Prada were instantly bought up both in the Europe, and in America. Business prospered and gradually expanded, and in Milan two have opened small shops where sold original goods Prada - bags, footwear and suitcases.

In due course bags Prada became a symbol of not ostentatious luxury, style and elegance, the original highest quality standard in the fashionable industry. Fashionable observers considered as the duty to mention all firm simplicity and refined taste Prada owing to what bags Prada have become famous all over the world and became a subject of dreams and desires of the richest and well-known women of a planet. Despite of promptly growing popularity, these smart bags have kept initial high quality and a unique combination of refinement, simplicity and the functionality, peculiar to original design.

Though bags Prada have kept fidelity of tradition, would be a mistake to believe, that they are not subject to a fashion. Originally bags made from extraordinary heavy skins. However soon designers have understood impracticality of this material (who will like to drag with itself heavy a bag?) also began to use is more often the high-quality processed leather for creation of bags and accessories. However on this they have not stopped. To one of first innovations Prada became drawing a waterproof covering on bags suitcases that has made their not only smart, but also practical.

Even today designers Prada are in constant search of new decisions and hi-tech materials which would allow to improve quality of their products even more. In design of bags Prada crystals, an armor of the turtle, valuable breeds of a tree and other unusual materials that speaks about readiness for experiments were used. Considering the highest quality of bags Prada, it is no wonder, that they have indefatigable success, and all over the world the unprecedented sums are ready to pay for them.

However, position of a leader in the world of a fashion which today occupies Prada, was gave to the Italian family not without efforts. Global crisis which has captured the fashionable industry in 1970, has touched and Prada. However by this time reins of government the company have passed to Miuccia Prada. The grand daughter of founder Prada has continued family tradition and has headed business in 1978. Since then the company experiences success behind success. Under her management Prada became one of symbols of the world haute couture and pret-a-porter.

However the unprecedented commercial success in the world of a fashion is invariable accompanied by occurrence of a parallel line of counterfeit production. Today cheap bags Prada can be purchased in streets of any large city of Italy and the world. Undoubtedly, it speaks desire to catch the high status for the low price. The situation becomes complicated what distinguish true bag Prada from counterfeit the skilled judge can only - in fact the simple and elegant trade mark of the company can make any handicraftsman more or less familiar with bases of design business.

Spring-Summer 2007. Bags

Summer bags - is painful-sweet dream of each woman of fashion: like a trifle and so it would be desirable! The Program-maximum for them is simple and grandiose: to eclipse this summer of all, and during the subsequent seasons not covering by dust in old chest.
The first, that occurs - a bag from straw, more summer material simply does not exist! The choice - is huge, the prices - are accessible, and this bagatelle never gets out of fashion, however our review it, alas, will not pass - owing to the uncompromising accessory of a summer season.

What the following? Bags from the flax, experiencing last years a rebirth, fortunately, "are much more appeasable". Depending on the form and their coloring with pleasure it is possible to carry as summer (DKNY, Versace), and the year round (Juicy Couture, Etro). Do not pass this category: bags from flax while in a novelty and the originality they willingly will maintain your image of the stylish girl.

Certainly to "all-weather" it is possible to carry jeans bags. Look, what different they can be: between an elegant bag from Dior and «prudence» from Marc Jacobs the style precipice in which with ease other kinds of bags will be placed all runs!
Class difference and conclusive advantage of jeans bags - their youth frivolous nature. Therefore it is possible to consider as best of them not that are decorated by trade marks of the most known marks, and that cause a smile. If such nice copy will get to you - take it and be happy!

Summer bags are distinguished with the simple form and large sizes. For girls who live by a principle « all I carry with myself », there is a popular tribe shopping bags - bags of big, and sometimes even the huge sizes. If even slightly to increase capacity of bags of this type, they should be transferred in a category "case"! The form they remind shopping bags of times of our grandmothers a little, however look very much differently: is elegant, romantic and consequently especially summer variants, and is strict and elegant which will be useful also in the winter (Dior). It is possible to argue, that during cold seasons amount of things which you carry in a bag, increases why to not find for them wonderful storehouse right now!

Other type of bags on all seasons - a sac. In modern copies not always it is possible to make out features their clumsy, but reliable ancestors. However the impression, that before you a bag which is good for taking in road, is kept. The summer, a season of holidays, travel and new acquaintances - here what romantic associations causes a sac. Already for one it is to be purchased! And it is excellent, forward, to cash department! If you prefer more dark coloring, can carry it the year round and if you are pleased just with freshness and brightness of impractical summer prints - will get it from a case more close by the summer and each time to be pleased, as new.

Average or small bags articles of prime necessity for each of us, therefore it is possible to not doubt, that at you them already a little. Perhaps, it is necessary to get a special summer variant, more thoughtless or bright painting. I recommend to choose a bag of a horizontal format, as a rule, with two short handles. In the Europe them " baguettes " have nicknamed that, similarly to a popular French roll, they are convenient for carrying an armpit. By the summer there is a sense to choose something amusing, inexpensive, from nylon, flax or a cotton. More traditional leather "baguettes" can be carried the year round with what bright and light they were not: to them so it is possible so to become attached, that the house already simply you will not leave!

After several years when bags on long handles « a la 80th years » caused in the true women of fashion contemptuous «fua», these most convenient things again come back in a fashion. For the present it is a little first signs, but also among them it is already possible to choose a bag for all tastes: sports color and nylon (Etro), very elegant (Fendi), suede monophonic or brown color (Carlos Falchi, Paul Smith). The summer when all not seriously, the best time to be tried on to a novelty and to solve, it is pleasant to you or not.

Anyway, and bags - last stroke to our wardrobe, let it will be bright and cheerful, as summer!
