URBANDON

Sustainable menswear from mainly reclaimed materials




I found URBANDON on etsy and I really like.  "Don Pezzano" ( will he  be of Italian origin?) creates unique pieces,  from reclaimed materials, very special for men and women such as coats, pants, vests, jewelry and accessories.

The thing that impressed me is that we have the same mentality.....we belive in "petit-production", which means the willingness to work on slower rhytm and scale.

He says:
"I am a menswear designer and jeweller living in Sydney with my partner and various dogs. My goal is to create cool, sustainable and wearable clothes and accessories. I'm naturally frugal and concerned with the unethical and unsustainable practices in fast fashion today.This standpoint has influenced my designs from the drawing board to the end product. I use only deadstock fabrics, organic cottons, wool and reclaimed fabrics. Packaging is recycled paper and card, swing tags and business cards are recycled paper stock. 
I focus on modern and deconstructed clothing that is durable, well-made and sustainable. I am not into 'tricky' or 'over-the-top'. Simple, clean and calm designs for creative, patient and intelligent customers. No mass-production. No trashy fabrics. No following trends or seasonal colours. I don't have to play those games and I create for people who are interested in something a little deeper when it comes to their clothes. There is an element of science-fiction and costume to my clothes that I just can't escape from. I was bred on Star Wars, The Fifth Element and Blade Runner. I'd like to think my clothes would be just at home on the planets Tatooine or Caladan."

WALNUTSTUDIOLO BICYCLE CAN CAGE

I found this shop accessories for bicycles and fell in love. Here I can find everything I need for my bike: frame handles, bottle belts, grips, U lock holster, seat bags...and more! All in genuine leather! Amazing!!!!



                                                                http://www.etsy.com/shop/WalnutStudiolo



Light and rigid can cage for your bicycle, made out of leather, with a snug fit. 

Bring a can of soda (or beer, or juice) along for the ride. A flat can of Coke has been called the racing cyclist's "secret weapon" - the quick jolt of sugar and caffeine is perfect to get you up the last few hills. 

Rigid leather is hand-stitched together to be structurally sound. Cans stay snug in the can cage even after a rugged off road tour. 

Designed to fit a standard can size, also fits tallboys. 

Comes ready to install with three clamps to connect the cage to the bicycle: two on the handlebar and one around the stem spacers.
