They’re Going Fast! November 16, 2007

We got them in and they’re going out the door fast. What are “they?” They are Feuerwear bags from Germany. These ultra cool bags are made from recycled fire hoses. That makes them incredibly tough and durable, plus water resistant. They also look incredible. We also carry Feuerwear wallets and belts that are the most unique gifts you can find in Springfield.

Pastiche is the only US retailer for these amazing bags. If you want to see them though, you’d better hurry in. We’ve got one more shipment coming from Germany before the holidays. With the popularity of Feuerware bags, they won’t last long. Be the most popular and fabulous gift giver this season and get your Feuerwear items soon!

Kenana Knitter Kritters November 14, 2007

Looking for something really unique for that unique person on your holiday list? Stop by Pastiche and check out the Kenana Knitter Kritters. These are hand-knitted creations made by women in Kenya. With very high unemployment rates in rural Africa, these women have formed a group of knitters to produce these wonderful creatures. By purchasing one, you’re supporting these women and providing money for schools and healthcare that would otherwise be unavailable.

Each one of these pieces is unique and a delight to hold and are made from wool spun by the women themselves. Prices vary on each piece, but there is sure to be one to fit anyone’s budget!

Check out Kenana’s website for more information on this great compay!
