Lemon Twist | Graphic and Fashion Dynamic Duo
One of the great pleasures of my job with Mavi Jeans has been participating in collaborative projects with different artists. One project in particular was with the Lemon Twist Studio, a San Francisco-based design studio and fashion retailer. Owned and operated by Eric and Danette Scheib, Lemon Twist is part graphic art and photography springboard [...]
Backpacks | Got Your Back
Filson Rucksack After quite a few years of the shoulder bag and tote being the “thing” for a lot of guys, I’m starting to see a resurgence of the backpack- and there are some nice ones from which to choose. Personally, I’ve often relied on my North Face shoulder bag to carry my laptop (plus [...]
TOMS | Sharing Souls
charity: water + TOMS shoes from charity: water on Vimeo. A successful business model that helps people AND makes money. Works for me.

Usually made from 100% cotton plain weaves, varying in thickness, depending on the contents weight. The ones I’ve collected here are all from farm products, in a standardized 100 lb. capacity size. I found these at [...]
Ties on the Hill-side
I used to wear ties all the time while in college. Actually, I worked for a tie designer after school who paid me in ties. Needless to say, that ended within a short time. As much as I liked having a never-ending supply of ties, convincing AT&T to accept a handful for my monthly bill [...]
