Stuff to wear: My duffel bag
by Taavi Kuisma on Jan.25, 2010, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
I’m continuing on something remy kicked off some time back. Our new weekly edition for the new year “Stuff to wear…” This week I’ introducing to you something special, a duffel bag. But not just any duffel bag, a Finnish vintage duffel bag. Genuine leather travel gear from few decades back. The bag is indeed made in Finland few decades back (I think it was made in the 70′s) but is still in what I would call prime condition.
Vintage 0901 Week XXXIII – Along came winter
by Taavi Kuisma on Dec.14, 2009, under Headlines
Hi Y’all,
We’ve all recovered from the Saturday’s party and as I hinted on my previous post, the winter indeed made a comeback. Great! Christmas without snow in Finland does not really feel like Christmas, or so they say. Nevertheless I’m really happy to see snow again. The thing is that along with the snow, came the freezing cold weather. This morning Helsinki woke up to -12 degrees Celsius. Cold… Well that’s not all that cold if you think about the fact that not that long ago we still had (and the North of Finland still has) -20 to -30 degree Celsius climates. Now that’s cold.
Vintage 0901 – Week XXX – Life’s Funny

Hi Y’all,
What’s good at your neck of the woods? Hope it’s all good. For me, today was a good day. An eye opening day of sorts, full of ups and downs of the everyday life, but mostly sudden spurs of inspiration and realization. I mean things happen just so out of sudden and sometimes you can just have a laugh at things as it feels as there’s a certain flow to how your life moves ahead with all the twists and turns.

Hi Y’all,
Progress process always has some bumps on the road and we had to go through some growing pains with our recent server upgrade. As some of you might have noticed, we experienced some server hiccups which limited the usage of the site to some degree. So sorry for the inconvenience and sincere thanks for the support.
Part III: Sewing…

I’ve had few posts about the Vintage elements of the jeans so will still continue on that…
In addition to the shuttle looms and natural indigo dye, another important aspect in the production of Vintage denim is the sewing.
Part II: Selvedge and Shuttle Looms

Term vintage is often thrown around when talking about jeans or other apparel for that matter. However, what really makes the garment vintage? Is it the style, the materials or the brand name? Vintage can refer to an item of a certain period of time, or an item possessing qualities that belong into a particular era.
