Dolfie Shoes
Artigianali, originali e di qualità: così potrebbero essere definite le Dolfie.
Nato a Barcellona da un gruppo di giovani designer, questo brand produce scarpe in finissima e prestigiosa pelle: diversi i modelli che vanno dallo stile barca al desert boot.
Aperture laterali, frange e cinghie assicurano ad ogni modello estrema peculiarità. Le Dolfie sono disponibili in tanti colori diversi (beige, marrone, ocra, bianco o blu) e, solo a guardarle, viene voglia di indossarle tanto sembrano comode.
A Barcellona le trovate nei negozi Duke (calle Duc 12) ed Espali (calle Pi 16): per saperne di più date un’occhiata al sito (http://www.dolfie.net/).

Brasash
BRASASH è un laboratorio creativo, un vero e proprio design garage con una vena per le design T-shirts in edizione limitata a 199 pezzi. E’ un marchio che nasce dall’idea di dare sfogo alla libera creatività di designers e grafici che vogliono proporre le loro idee. Uno spazio libero, slegato dal concetto di marchio in senso stretto, ma in grado di proporre un’alternativa per tutte le persone che cercano continuamente qualcosa che li esprima, fregandosene dell’etichetta.
BRASASH è un design garage, non un produttore e nemmeno solo un marchio! Sempre alla ricerca di prodotti sostenibili, come le T-shirts in cotone organico e le stampe con colori ad acqua, inoltre tutte le T-shirts sono rigorosamente in edizione limitata a 199 pezzi, numerate a mano una per una.
A day @ Freitag Headquarters
On late July I have been invited ( as Polkadot boss 
) with just a few handpicked European bloggers in the wonderful Zurich to visit the FREITAG headquarters including cutting our very own iPad sleeves and enjoying a night out with the FREITAG crew. It was an amazing experience, the guys @ Freitag are really super and we also had a chance to have a talk with Markus Freitag (one of the founders of the company). We will post the interview in the next few days.
For the few who should not know the brand, FREITAG has been manufacturing bags and accessories for women and men since 1993. Their materials are used, having seen service on the road. They are well-travelled truck tarpaulins, unraveled seat belts, bicycle inner tubes beyond repair and recycled airbags. Tough stuff – which makes their products tough, too. The swiss company apply their recycled materials in a totally new way, insisting on superlative design and functionality. Every FREITAG product is made from original tarpaulins of different colors, markings and contours. So every FREITAG product is a one-off.
Freitag have just launched their beautiful iPad sleeves, complete with a ‘one-pull’ strap system for easy access, a ‘velvety’ inner lining, and their iconic recycled tarpaulin outers. We have been able to cut some pieces, and once they will be sewn together and will get our desk, we will give them for free to our readers, so stay tuned.

Cast of Vices
They say the sum of vices is constant, which let’s admit it, it’s kinda true. So if you feel you miss one to balance those innocent habits, you can help yourself from the Cast of Vices jewelry collection. You can exhibit anything from drugs to cigarette butts in solid silver or gold. I must say the Vicodin pendant reminds me of Dr. House popping those pills ten times per episode…
Starstyling
Grab one of these Sunvisors by Starstyling while you can, cause they’re super cool and the sun won’t last much longer now. Also, check out their webshop and make sure you don’t miss their mosaic hoodies and “Forever, Michael” t-shirts and shopping bags. Very Berlin-like, indeed!
Kevlove
Dall’estro creativo di Elena Filippini nasce Kevlove, una linea originale di borse, borsoni che trova le origini nella veleria del padre nata da molta passione tanti anni fa sulle sponde del Lago di Garda.Tessuti come kevlar, dacron, nylon, carbonio…grilli e ganci impreziositi dalla creatività di Elena diventano una nuova grammatica di emozioni attraverso cui comunicare un atavico ma sempre rinnovato amore per la vela. Materiali futuristici miscelati con il tocco femminile avvolgente della designer danno vita ad un nuovo osservatorio sul mondo “vela”, trasformandosi ora in sfiziose borsette, ora in cinture o in borsoni da vivere addosso. Disponibili da weareunique.
