The Snap Bracelet is Back!

女の子 勉強 手元

1980’s kids, prepare to freak out! I’ve never been so excited about the reemergence of a long lost fashion accessory. Designer Yuhei Imai calls it a Wemo for “wearable memo” but some of us know it simply as a snap bracelet!

While we used it as a playful school yard weapon and wacky wardrobe accessory, the Wemo has a more thoughtful purpose. It provides a quick and easy method of relaying information in a variety of situations. During emergency rescues or in hospitals, personal can write a patient’s condition, allergies and other vital info on the bracelet and snap it on to their wrist in seconds. Workers in farms or in warehouses can make notes or write tallies directly on their wrist to save time and help them remember important details. Others, like construction workers or carpenters can use the one with dimensions printed on it for quick measuring. The possibilities are endless!

Better yet, the multicolored bracelets looks great paired with a pair of LA Gear shoes, as an accessory to your neon spandex with a t-shirt, or while you play Oregon Trail!

Rugged Jewelry that’s Man-tastic!

The fashion world doesn’t really cater to male, or even unisex fashion as much as it should. That’s where the tech wearables market jumped in, with its fitness wearables for everybody regardless of age, gender, race, etc. Bailey of Sheffield does that for the fashion/jewelry industry with their much awaited CABLE bracelet.

Made in Sheffield, the birthplace of stainless steel, the Cable bracelet has a beautiful rugged charm, but still retains elegance with its wonderfully impeccable construction and military grade finishes. The finishes really explore an exciting set of hues (I have my eyes on the PVD Petrol finish!) that Bailey claims will last forever, just like the bracelet. To prove that, they provide a “More than a Lifetime” guarantee, stating that they will refurbish, maintain, and even replace your Bracelet forever! So you could pass this beautiful piece of modern jewelry from generation to generation, knowing that the promise of quality will never be broken!

There’s no question that the stainless steel used in the bracelet cord, clasp, and the beads, are the finest in the world. The CABLE bracelet is made in the Portland Works factory, often called the home of stainless steel, and is crafted by the most revered and skilled artisans. The beads that go on the cable come in various designs and can be customized based on what your mood is. They can even be removed using a special tool (provided with the bracelet) and converted into a pendant that you can wear around your neck, because style should be truly limitless! And the CABLE does exactly that with its unisex, customize-able design that promises to last forever!

The Bomber Advantage – Bomber Paracord Survival Gear

bomber_paracord_feature

Reacquainting us with one of the principles of Good Design, the Firestarter Survival Bracelet, Carabiner Paracord Keychain and Bomber Barrel bag by Bomber & Company, hammer home the concept of ‘Good Design is as little design as possible.’ Stylish enough to look good on you, we bet Bear Grylls could use this kit in his next Man vs Wild episode.

bomber_paracord

For those who don’t know it, Paracord was first used as suspension lines for U.S. parachutes during WWII. Presently the line has many more uses apart from the original intent. As founder Vincent Pilot Ng describes it, “The braided sheath has an incredible number of interwoven strands compared to its thickness, giving it a smooth texture, elastic feel, and unmatched strength. This makes it compact, fashionable, and highly useful in survival and dangerous situations.”

bomber_paracord2

Priding themselves of crafting the finest gear, this team from San Francisco has us all excited about minimalist survival kits. The Bomber Paracord Survival Gear is essentially made using a 550 military grade paracord that includes a flint that can start a fire. Think scenarios like camping, lights-out on a stormy night, having fun on the beach and wanting to start an impromptu campfire, or plain and simple vanity. The gear has many uses that enhance basic survival and teams well with the original Bomber Barrel Duffle Bag. In short we are talking about a paracord bracelet and a paracord keychain along with the bag.

Details:

  • The complete Bomber Set includes the original Bomber Barrel Duffle Bag, Mini Bomber Travel Kit, Bomber Survival Bracelet, and Bomber Survival Paracord Keychain.
  • The Bomber Survival Bracelet comes with 3 meters of paracord and fire-starting capabilities.

Vincent believes that life is an exploration. He is passionate about business, being an entrepreneur, as well as adventure. “I’m a product designer by trade. I imagine, design, create, and bring concepts to life. Many times it’s not about inventing something completely new. When you understand an object or an idea from its foundation or base, you are able to see what makes it work or function from an outside perspective. We take this process and find ways around it and hack it, making it faster, more effective, and simpler to use… thus making it better. That’s where true innovation comes from. Bomber & Company is an industrial design firm that utilizes this formula within our mission to design and create beautiful everyday products.”

“Live life like you’re telling the greatest story ever told”.

Guardians of the Galaxy Charm Bracelet: Hooked on Your Wrist

I’ve said it many times: Guardians of the Galaxy was easily my favorite Marvel flick. It was funny and action packed, which can be hard to pull off. If you are a fan of the flick and want to show your geeky fandom, a couple new charm bracelets are available.

gog-brace-1zoom in

The bracelets come in a version with charms for each Guardians team member or a version with lots of Groot. That Groot version includes Groot, baby Groot, and Rocket.

Each of the charms comes with an annoying Marvel tag that gets in the way. I bet you could remove those tags with the deft use of wire cutters. The all-Groot bracelet sells for $59.99(USD) and the entire team will cost you $99.99 at ThinkGeek.

Groot Spores Bracelet: Grootlet

Guardians of the Galaxy was the best of all the Marvel movies in my opinion. It had plenty of action and it was funny to boot making it great fun to watch. I can’t wait for the next movie to come out. One of my favorite characters was Groot, a tree of few words.

If you have a lady friend that is a big Groot fan, you can get hands on this Groot Spores Bracelet. From a distance, it looks like a wide bracelet, but up close, you can see a Groot wood pattern and yellow spore thingies.

It’s stretchy so it should fit most folks no matter your wrist size. This is a neat bit of Groot fan gear that you can pick up at ThinkGeek for $24.99(USD).
