GRAF & LANTZ - FUN WITH FELT

FELT !!! 




 felt keychains! so cute!













 love how this fall flat down when unzipped!






Meet Daniel. He's awesome.


I visited the design studio of Graf & Lantz in Silverlake the other day and listened to the story of how this brand was born.  It's always impressive to hear the back story of brands and what I love about Graf & Lantz is not only the personalities behind the brand, but the amazing craftsmanship of how well the design and stitching of the 'felt' and leather of these bags hold together.  Who would have thought 'felt' could be this strong!  I also learned that the material that is left over from making the bags are used to make cute keychains, coasters and other cute accessories which would make really good stocking stuffers for Christmas!!! What a smart way to not waste great felt!!! They sell at the APPLE STORE, Neiman Marcus, Barneys New York and a few stores in Japan too (ISETAN & UNITED ARROWS!).

先日、GRAF & LANTZっていうBAGとACCESSORIESのブランドのデザインスタジオにいってきました。。。このブランドはデザイナーが二人いて、二人からどうやってこのブランドが生まれたのかを聞いて、すごく面白かった!二人のデザイナーのpersonalityが好きなのと、このバッグのqualityがすごくいい!FELTとleather
の組み合わせがとても上手で、縫製もすごくて、こんなに丈夫な
FELTがあるって知らなかったです!衝撃をうけました!
日本では伊勢丹やUNITED ARROWS、バーニーズ ニューヨーク等で取り扱いがあるので、
ぜひチェックしてみてください!
ちなみにBAGに使うフェルトの生地のどうしても余ってしまう生地を使っての、コースターや、キーホルダーもとってもCUTEなので、ぜひこれからのクリスマスプレゼントに
オススメだよ!
