made with 100% merino wool produced and imported from germany. the high density felt makes the sleeve durable and pill resistant. wool’s natural oil content makes the felt stain and water resistant. (if any spills occur just dab off the moisture with a wet towel or rinse lightly with water. it can be dry cleaned as well if necessary). wool felt is a natural, sustainable and biodegradable material which also feels great to touch. the dyes used to color the felt are oeko-tek certified (a testing process which certifies that no harmful chemicals have been found in the material). The leather is vegetable tanned which removes the heavy chemicals used in the traditional tanning process. handmade in the usa.

2011-04-15T19:31:00.000-07:00

klean kanteen has just released its newest bottle – the reflect. the bottle has no paint and plastic and is only made out of stainless steel, food-grade silicone and bamboo. even the klean kanteen logo has been laser etched onto the 18/8 stainless body so it won’t wear off with use

the bottle top is made out of one piece of stainless steel with a food-grade silicon ring to make a watertight seal. in order to easily carry the bottle, a stainless steel bail was added replacing the plastic loop of the traditional bottle. finally a thin layer of bamboo was placed at the top to make a very distinctive finish to the bottle’s appearance

available in 2 finishes – mirror and brushed steel. both in stock at our store

new product line --- bags, belts and wallets made from bicycle inner tubes.

2011-03-25T20:02:00.000-07:00

We’ve just started carrying alchemy goods’ line of bags, belts and wallets made from recycled bicycle inner tubes. Not only are the bags stylish but due to their durable rubber exterior they are waterproof/resistant and won’t stain.

The founder was working as a bicycle messenger and had his messenger bag stolen. He started searching for a replacement but couldn’t a bag that met his criteria (sturdy, weather proof, stylish, environmentally friendly) which lead him to try to make his own out of his discarded bicycle inner tubes. He received so many positive comments on his bag that he started making more and thus alchemy goods was created.

We carry 3 different bag styles at the store (and can custom order any of the other bags) along with laptop cases, toiletry cases, belts and wallets.

Other eco facts -- the bicycle tubes were first from bicycle stores in the greater Seattle area but due to alchemy good’s success they have worked with trek to have bicycle stores around the country send them their used bicycle tubes. Each bag/product is assembled by hand in the Seattle area. The logo on each product has a number which shows the percentage of upcycled material by weight that goes into that particular item.
