Too Late was once encapsulated for the purpose of exhibition at the MOMA design store in NY. The wristwatch sat among the rest of the merchandise, waiting to be discovered. And it was. A young Italian entrepreneur put his cards on the table for this irresistible object. He saw it to be a must-have and collectible item and launched Too Late, a watch company that is growing at light speed, offering a variety of cool bright summer colors to mount on your wrist. This is a super hero in the grass root family. This is the tree that attempts to save the world. This is the most durable, flexible, fastest growing, sustainable and renewable material you can find available. With more than 1,500 species being grown through out the world, and as the supplies are available, a bright designer with a vision had a great idea.

S&T is too non-descriptive a name for one to imagine what their brand offers. But in the range of a selections of scarves, beach wraps and pareos they have, their name—with all due respect—does not do them justice. S&T offers an array of designs, patterns, colors, textures and materials, ranging from printed polyester, 100 percent cotton, viscose and silk. You can wrap them around yourself as you please, no rules, no instruction. Just let it flow around your body.

Back in the 70’s Woodstock probably would have partnered up with Shop Therapy if Shop Therapy were around at time. Oh Yeah! Hippies, Woodstock, and Shop Therapy speak the same language. Shop Therapy is a wholesale company that imports from Thailand, India, Nepal, Mexico and China a variety of tie-dye accessories, clothing, and silver jewelry that any dreaddy would love. But this is just the tip of the iceberg; to really dig in on what Shop Therapy is about, they said you have to personally experience their shop. The founder of the shop, back in 1979, bought a store that was painted purple and sparkled it up with glitter, christening his new castle, “Karisma.” He then traveled the world to fill up his empire with eclectic, hippie, and unique merchandise. The atmosphere of the store, from the sales staff to the music and the energy that will surround you, will surely take you back to 1969.

It was Ralph and Kebi that noticed the key pieces while living in Meherazad, a small town in India, while they were volunteering for a charitable organization. But after spending some time next to the mesmerizing, intricate jewelry, they just decided to form what is now ZAD, a wholesale jewelry company that brings original pieces from India. They are not expensive things either, but curious little findings that can hung around your neck or can decorate your wrist and add a little special touch to your day. Feathers and fringe were key design elements I noticed in the finds.

When you think Kipling, you think monkey, and then bags. And this is no mistake; the monkey is the loving mascot of Kipling. The name, of course, adapted after author Rudyard Kipling (The Jungle Book). The company was founded in 1987 in America, and has since provided, for these past twenty-some-odd years, bags for people all over the world. And when I say bag, I mean any type of item used for carrying anything you want and can think of; funny packs, backpacks, luggage, purses, wallets, laptop bags, i-pod bags, etc. But what is interesting about their simplistic uni-color design is that their designs can suit any type of person no matter what age or style. TIP: If you know your friends favorite color, you can’t go wrong giving a Kipling accessory as a gift.

If we are talking about Armourdillo, we are talking about the cool shit . . . and let me tell you why. Their belts and wallets are made with durable material and quality hand craftsmanship that transcends the edgy rock and roll personality of those cheap Hot Topic belts we all owned one time or another. Yep, we are talking about studded belts, the ones with bullet casings, skin-colored leather and metal buckles. We are talking punk, skate and anarchy. Wild side indeed, they are originally from Australia, the country of rugby, kangaroos, V-8 and Vegemite.
Armourdillo is a true believer of the street warrior and the innate talent of the legends rolling down the concrete rivers and breathing adrenaline 24/7. And due to their passion and admiration towards the skate scene, they offer a “Signature Collection” designed to accommodate and incorporate the style of the greatest skaters of their town. Their latest collections were influenced by Chad Bartie and Corbin Harris.
Also, let me highlight that their line is not limited to guys in a skate board; they are also loved and worn by gals like us, the ones with a little punk in our veins. See our previous collaboration.

Some of us like to take a little extra time in the closet. Time that equates to giving ourselves some ooohs and ahhhs because of our sparkling style. And that is because our walk and our fashion is magnetic, attractive and saturated-ly fun. Ulace matches that personality.
This is not your average lace, as you are not the average statistic. This is a segment of a lace that snaps in the holes of your shoe where the laces supposed to go. So you can have a rainbow ruling your kicks; you can cross it up and down, diagonal or whatever you want. And leave an oooh la laah marked in the pavement as a trace of your sole/soul; either one will do.
*Ulace can be found in Journey’s stores.
