Leicestershire Disabled Social Entrepreneurs Win 2 National Awards

PR Log (Press Release) – Dec 14, 2009 – Clare and Duncan Edwards are celebrating two national awards. They were amongst a handful of social entrepreneurs across the country to win one of the prestigious UnLtd Level 2 Awards of £15,000 to help them grow and expand their social business. They have also been awarded an Independent Living Design award by the British Healthcare Trades Association for their new product, Trabasack.
Clare Edwards came up with the ingenious idea of the Trabasack after experiencing difficulty eating whilst in restaurants. Clare says “The Trabasack lap tray and travel bag helps to improve social inclusion for wheelchair users and anyone with reduced mobility.  Wheelchair users often struggle to find the right height tables when away from home. If they can not reach a table they may spill food and drink down themselves which is embarrassing. Bending and reaching forward can cause back and neck pain and cause digestive problems. The Trabasack provides everyone with a portable level surface for eating and drinking, resting laptops, working, socialising and playing where ever they are.  “We are delighted to receive a Level 2 Award from UnLtd and the support which goes with it. So far we have sold over 400 products are our target is to sell 3000 within the next year.”
Jonathan Jenkins, Director of Unltd Ventures said “ This is a really simple idea which tackles a real social problem which goes unnoticed by able bodied people. I am delighted we have been able to support Duncan and Clare. This product can help many thousands of people across the country.”
Clare and Duncan received the BTHA design award from Angela Rippon and wheelchair athlete Ade Adepitan at the Hotel Russel, London. They will receive their Unltd award at a national ceremony held on 14th January in London at the Hoxton Apprentice.

The next annual Plus Size Fashion Adventure hosted by Teena Hughes is from 20-27th June 2010. Visitors to Teena's website commented that there didn't seem to be any truly fashionable clothes for plus-size women and girls in Paris - so Teena decided to share her plus-size fashion secrets with them.

Brentano Fabrics in Redesigned Smart Home

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 18, 2009 – Brentano has once again provided eco-fabrics for the interior of the Museum of Science and Industry exhibit Smart Home: Green + Wired, Powered by ComEd. This year’s redesigned exhibit maintains the mission of the 2008 Smart Home, but also offers a bolder color scheme, a redesigned use of space, and the latest environmental technologies. Named “Chicago’s Greenest Home,” the Smart Home is a free-standing, fully-functioning modular home that showcases the big and small ways to make eco-friendly living part of daily life. The exhibit focuses on environmentally-conscious architecture, practices, technology, and products, including an array of fabrics from the Brentano Green collection of eco-friendly interior textiles.
Smart Home Interior Designer Michele Fitzpatrick, owner of Verde Design Studio, selected several of Brentano’s eco-friendly faux leathers for use in the dining room, lounge, and kitchen areas. She said that the home is designed for “an urban family with adventurous tastes,” and that the polyurethane-based textiles were not only a durable and sustainable choice for upholstery, but also show that “quality does not have to be expensive.” On the second floor, Fitzpatrick selected eco-fabrics with a soft hand to construct tailored bed linens. For the boy’s bedroom, she used a saturated teal color of Casita, a 100% post-consumer recycled polyester, while for the master bedroom, she chose an elegant grey eco wool.  
The Smart Home—designed by Michelle Kaufman Designs, built by All American Homes and assembled in the museum’s own backyard—is a must see exhibit for anyone who wants their home, and life, to be smarter, more efficient, and more in tune with the environment.

Custom Sweatbands As Promo Items

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 07, 2009 – Time and time again many musicians wear these kinds of accessories when playing live. Sweat wristbands and customized head bands are worn by people who play baseball, football, and many other sports. There are a lot of custom promo items, but one of the best and least expensive is custom sweatbands. We'll dig deep on how to use the sweatbands for raising money, athletic events, and even merch for a band.
How to Raise Money with Custom Sweatbands?
It's looking like you need to start a fundraiser for your organization. Your best bet is to turn toward some type of lower costing promotional item, whether it's custom silicone wristbands, headbands, or custom M&M's - that's up to you. On this specific article we are going to go in depth on how to use custom sweatbands. In the design phase make sure your logo is very simplistic and sticks out, this is absolutely key. People won't buy for reason's that don't interest them like charity or helping you goto France, they need to actually be interested in the design.Keep your artwork simple, it will pay off. Getting artwork and production of the sweatbands taken care of is only half the battle, you need to know how to make sales. Themes work very well for this. In a high school, one of the themes could possibly be a point system. Maybe each time someone buys in a certain class than you give them a point. If those points add up to a certain amount than they get a free pizza party because you divide the money up say 20% to the pizza party, 80% to the cause per sale. Something like this works great as long as people are buying and having fun! What about a campus? Students always have their own thing going, so you really need to grasp their attention if you want to make it work. There is a good solution to this; I like to call it "real em in". You might have to make an initial investment but at the end of the day it will be worth it. Orcastrate a show with bands, stand up acts, or something that is catchy. It's possible for you to ask for a donation as people walk in the door. Usually $5 is a good price for these. These are just a couple ideas on how you can use custom sweatbands as a fund raiser.
Inside Athletic Events
This is always fun because it really shows enthusiasm and excitement for your home team. This is not a way you can make a profit, it's only for fun. There are a few ways to go with this headbands and armbands for the team to wear, for the crowd to wear, or for both! I really like both because it shows that there is no separation between the crowd and the team. This will frighten the other team because it almost has a gladiator effect. A basic history lesson will tell you that warriors wore the same accessories to look alike on the battlefield. These days, it's the same concept, but not so grusome. You can use these with your schools bball players and crowd. If the crowd's favorite player wears a head sweatband, this can be useful. You could order a headband with that person's nickname and hand them out for free. What's cool is how easy they are to see and how much energy they generate.
Music Merch
I have seen a lot of bands ordering custom band shirts, trying to sell them at $10-20 to make a profit. The thing you need to be thinking about is price, that's why you must looks for cheap band merch that you will also be able to sell. Custom sweatbands are a much better choice, when you order 1000 embroidered sweatbands at $1.49 per band if you sell them at your shows for only $5, you make $3510 profit. The best option when it comes to band merch is custom sweatbands because of the cost. All types of musicians are wearing wristbands such as pop, rock, emo, heavy metal, rap, indie, techno, hip hop, r&b and etc. The more they are using them, the more people will want them.
In closing custom sweatbands can be a great promotional item. As you have read they can also be great for many other things. Visit http://www.sertopbands.com for more on how to use custom sweatbands

Producing a motorcycle garment is an Art?

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 20, 2009 – Manufacturing a  http://www.faport.com motorcycle Jacket is having a complete philosophy in every step from a design to pattern cutting and stitching. A designer should have the complete knowledge what are the core demands and needs a biker would be looking forward to.

A designer also has to understand the protections to mount into his garments being produced for the bikers. In short, a biker can’t have a great ride until he feels secure wearing it at the same time.

To provide a feel of security in his garments, a designer play a vital role in terms of providing a best possible design that covers the all technicalities mentioned above. In addition to that, there is a theme called “motorcycle gears” to protect bikers from injuries should also be taken care of.

Bikers have their own dreams for stents and speed, however, a designer always think for his audience protections, in fact, a designer  is making every effort  to get his targeted audience dream’s coming true but at the same time making sure that a biker doesn’t get hurt in the unlikely event.

A best designer should have a great observation that during the incidence of crush, which body part gets affected the most.  He always focuses on such parts and tries to protect maximum injury with their design concepts.  Keeping all this in mind, a designer also considers the new demands and trendy look since everyone seems to be in effort to look fashionable.

Making out on a motorbike jacket, material selection is something very important, excellent leather or great fabric makes the jacket more protective and stylish. Generally, people seems to be chasing the low price jackets however they should also be considering a jacket what would give them the most protection at the same time in the unlikely event.

Mostly biker’s garments are made in two types. Leather jacket and Textile Jacket. We knew that leather is a natural source and relatively expensive.  Moreover natural resources are limited and can’t cover our demands, therefore developers found a way to fill this gap with different materials those could be used in manufacturing motorbike garments. There are materials available such as Cordura®, GorTex™ and other quality textile fabrics being used in motorcycle garments.  These fabrics are having different properties like water repellant, tear resistance and durability. Along this, we find a huge color selection and prints in those fabrics that are impossible to be found in leather. http://www.faport.com Read more…………

Backpack Featuring Cordura® Fabric Wins Magazine’s Best Equipment Of The Year Award

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar 18, 2009 – WICHITA, Kan. – INVISTA’s CORDURA® brand fabric is part of yet another award-winning outdoor product.  Brazil’s edition of Go Outside magazine recently named the CURTLO Mountaineer pack, manufactured with CORDURA® fabric throughout the body, a ‘Best Equipment of the Year’ product in the backpack category.  
The ‘Best Equipment of the Year’ awards are part of Go Outside’s 2008 Guide to Equipment. Seasoned outdoor enthusiasts chosen by the magazine used the selected gear in real life conditions. Their responses were scored on a one-to-10 scale that rates product materials, design and cost-benefit characteristics. Rodrigo Raineri, the mountain climber who reached the summit of Mount Everest in 2008, was the evaluator of Mountaineer 40 + 5L. The magazine included comments from Raineri about the pack’s excellent materials, and he expressed that the durability and weight make it a leading choice for reliability and comfort.
“We know we have succeeded when extreme outdoor enthusiasts like Raineri comment on the high quality of CORDURA® fabric,” says Cindy McNaull, global CORDURA® brand manager. “As an ingredient brand, it is important for consumers to recognize that products made with CORDURA® fabric provide a wide array of benefits to end-users. We are thrilled to be highlighted among such an elite group of products.”
