We are absolutely thrilled to see the the Manifesto (and awesome interview with Fabian on the passion and inspiration behind it) in this month's issue of Inc. Magazine. Check it out! :D
Holstee was recently featured in an article from the New York Observer that compared both Portland and Brooklyn. We feel very much attached to both places, as we have our headquarter in Brooklyn, but our boy Mikey is building up a West-coast residence in Portland.
What a nice surprise to come across this morning!! We just saw the Holstee Wallet made it onto TreeHugger this morning. Big thanks to Emma Grady for the great post + helping us to get the word out.
I just had a call with the folks in Delhi and they are excited with how well the wallets are being received. We're looking into ways that we can continue to expand our relationship with them. Stay tuned more details to come.
Dave had a chance to meet with Sean from Rising Lynx to chat about the work Holstee in developing the start-up into a company. Above is the video interview they did here in the city, and you can read the entire post and some of the highlights here on the Rising Lynx blog.
A few weeks ago we posted pictures of an interview we did with the folks at PSFK and they just released the video at the recent conference. Here is a link to the great write up they wrote and above is the video!
It is a super exciting day in Holstee HQ Today. We just learned that we've been picked up by TreeHugger! Easily among the most respected environmental / eco focused blogs in the sphere.

Thanks to Emma Grady for the warm welcome to the TreeHugger community.
When we reached out to Steve Jobs letting him know that we'd be launching our new shop today (January 27th, 2010) on the day of Apple's announcement we had no idea how he would respond, or even if he would!
To our surprise and excitement he showed the world how seamless our new shop works on the Safari browser on the new iPad. While it was only a brief moment of actual screen time, being next to Jobs on stage it is a moment that'll surely go down in Holstee + Apple history!
Below is a shot that the Apple team sent over this morning. Thanks Steve and the rest of the Apple team!

Woohoo! Holstee has just been featured in FashionIndie!
Here is a quick excerpt:
"There are benefits to being selective and limiting your fashion choices to just a few meaningful pieces; you just may find that one elusive piece that makes the perfect statement… … For me that one piece will be my new go-to T-shirt from HOLSTEE, a new brand that was founded not only to be fashionable and functional but also to be eco-friendly and supportive of a good cause…. could it get any better??"
