If you haven’t ever heard of Amy Butler, you will soon be able to distinguish her design from a mile away. If you haven’t seen what amazing talent she has, you will soon become a fan of her work. And if you are infatuated with the unique, charming, versatile, and ingenious products that Kalencom produces, then you’ll be just as esctatic as we are. We are honored and excited to announce that Kalencom has teamed up with fabric and pattern designer Amy Butler to introduce their new line of beautiful bags, reflecting the designer’s Midwest modern style.

Amy Butler started her business in the late 1980s, designing passport sized bags out of fabrics and materials that she enjoyed collecting from all over the world. Her love for combining the eclectic has embodied her work into a culture in and of itself. Because her love for nature and art as an artist has deviated her from conventional trends, she has come to inspire many other artists to present their ideas and styles from a much more intimate and unique perspective.

The new collection will consist of eco-friendly bags, including: lifestyle fashionable bags, totes, small luggage, wheeled carry-on, duffel, diaper bags, lingerie envelopes, laptop bag,  and complimenting accessories designed by Amy Butler herself.

The patterns and colors on these bags are extremely vivid, detailed, and just plain gorgeous! Her taste for color, stitching, patterns, and prints truly radiates from each finished product, both inside and out. Whether you’re traveling abroad or heading to the local grocery store, these bags make a fun and fashionable statement anywhere you go!  It is a quilter’s dream when you’re surrounded by and wearing these beautifully patterned pieces of what are essentially aesthetic paragons of art.

Here is a preview of the upcoming line. They will be available in November 2009 at www.leatherandbags.com! We can’t wait!!

Travel the Hemisphere with Sherpani’s Hemisphere Wheeled Luggage

Posted By Christine Nguyen on September 29th, 2009

Sharp, stylish, sustainable, sleek, smart, and suitable for every lifestyle: that’s Sherpani in a nutshell. And packing your life into a nutshell is now made plausible with Sherpani’s Hemisphere Ultralight Expandable Upright Wheeled Luggage. Whether you are a frequent or seldom traveler, going overseas or over to another city, staying for a couple of months or a couple of days, the versatility of this wheeled luggage adapts its size and storage space according to the length of your stay.

Many of us understand the difficulty of being unable to pack what we need without too much resistance from our luggage (and sometimes our husbands!) While suitcases or other duffel bags have been around for years and are sufficient for traveling, what is disabling about them is their efficacy with space flexibility. Often times such suitcases or duffel bags cannot be expanded or compressed because they come in a fixed size. However, Sherpani is always one step ahead, keeping in mind the significance of space never being wasted or forgotten.

With its three inch expandable option, the Hemisphere wheeled luggage gives you the choice of packing more or less. Having this option makes traveling not only easy, but less stressful, so that you have enough room to pack souvenirs for everyone on your way home from a trip, or you can compress your luggage because you’re coming back home with less, since you were able to give the gift you brought from home to your aunt for her birthday.

In addition, the high rebound polyester wheels, durable skid plates, and two stage retractable handle give you the ease and effortless mobility to stroll your way around the airport or train stop to your hotel, hostel, villa, or friend’s house. The internal main compartment consists of a mesh divider that keeps your folded clothes unwrinkled and separated from whatever else you wish to bring. But most importantly, Sherpani created the Hemisphere to be an eco recycled luggage, meaning it is made out of materials that are completely green and global conscious. Its non-toxic dyes and recycled aluminum account for 67% of this luggage’s construction.

Available in black, rhubarb, sea mist, and palm, Sherpani gives you the tools necessary to make a statement about your stylish travel that is also supportive of environmental conservation.
