Score at Score Swap!
Score Swap is today - if you're not familiar, here is how it goes: Attendees bring their old clothes, music, books, etc, to the event and drop them at the door. Volunteers sort and distribute these items to themed departments where professional curators organize them into boutique-like displays. Attendees have the option to browse each department and take as much as they can carry! Meanwhile, DJs keep the party poppin’, artists silkscreen custom tote bags, and fashion photographers take photos of stylish “scored” outfits. At the end of the day, all leftover items and proceeds from the event are donated to charity. Check out the video from their last swap here. All proceeds from the May 29th Score! will be donated to Global Inheritance – a 501c3 that reinvents youth activism by providing tools via music, art and technology. All leftover donations will be delivered to charity, and all textiles will be recycled by Wearable Collections. WHERE: BKLYN Yard // 400 Carroll St btw Bond & Nevins DOORS: Noon – 6pm COVER: $3 w/ RSVP - ALL AGES - RAIN DATE: Saturday June 5th (following weekend) Hosted by MeanRed, Flavorpill, & Bust Magazine More info here or keep up with them on the interwebs here.
Um Bag x Josh Jakus
Our first product in the freshly launched curated x holstee is the Um Tote designed by Josh Jakus for Fuz. Why it's been curated: Clean, simple and smart design. Josh's keen schooling in architecture and design can be found in everything he makes. Unzip the Um Bag completely to lay flat - which makes it super space efficient in your closet or while traveling. The Um Bag (as well as much of his collection) are made in Berkeley, CA made from dead stock fabrics and felt.
Video: Upcycling with Erin
With this limited edition line, we’ve decided to give tee’s of years past, a new life. We’ve collected tee’s from friends + neighbors, carefully inspected them for quality, and gave them a sweet little Holstee touch. Each shirt has been hand silk screened, with a one of a kind print. Many thanks to Erin for helping make it happen! Holstee: Upcycled Shirts Printed with Erin from HolsteeTV on Vimeo.
Why Pay for Water?!
This past Monday was World Water Day so here at the Holstee HQ we've dedicated this week take a deeper look at some water related issues. In our search we came across this amazing video about bottled water that we think is worth sharing!
