nyc la.ga bag for krv kurva, by sarah parris

ex-blogtoer ryan laflamme told me about this company he works for called 66degrees a few months ago. 66degrees.com is based out of toronto and the mandate is to “bring an array of very exclusive, mostly one-of-a-kind or limited edition products made by designers and artists around the world to people like you… people with smart tastes, people something different, something unique.” so i’ve been checking the site from time to time to see what’s new. this week, this bag landed in my inbox. i was smitten; it’s very unusual. the pattern reminds me of the new york city skyline. it has an interesting story also.

visualized by one of england?s most sought after designers, and hand-made at a wo?s prison in portugal, this ultra-exclusive handbag is available only at 66degrees.com.

the la.ga bag, a trademark of lisbon-based design io krv kurva, is distinctly european in design. the bag marries two unique design ideas: the artistry of the bag?s , and the manufacturing. each bag is given a unique artistic layout by a different guest designer, in limited runs of only 199. past designers have included artists and graphic designers from spain, portugal, argentina, brazil and the u.s. shaped like a large teardrop, the bag is constructed from semi-rigid dupont tyvek (water, radioactive, and o-hazard resistant, of course). thinner than one millimeter and weighing less than 40 grams, this bag is able to hold up to 55kg easily, while still being machine washable. with use, the bag bes softer and more malleable. krv kurva?s latest design is now a 66degrees.com exclusive. ?nyc? is a bold interpretation of the new york skyline at twilight by sarah parris, from english design io saville parris wakefield (whose designs have graced some of the finest fashion and design houses in europe, including alexander mcqueen, christian dior, jil sander and stella mccartney). nyc was unveiled, to great fanfare, at 2008?s international contemporary furniture fair in new york, with the first 30 distributed to friends and admirers of krv kurva and its sponsor, designboom.manufacturing of the la.ga bag is also a one-of-a-kind process. krv kurva?s founder, jorge moita, to do more than just make art; he to make positive social change. each la.ga bag is hand made by the inmates of a female prison in tires, outside lisbon, portugal. the collaboration provides the wo, many of whom are poor and uneducated, an opportunity to learn skills and earn a living when they leave prison.each nyc la.ga bag in this limited edition run of 199 is hand-made at the tires prison centre in tires, portugal. each bag will ship with a certificate of authenticity, numbered and signed by the creator.

i'm at the airport, too early as usual, on my way back from reboot10.

it's almost trite, but it's worth repeating: reboot is fantastic experience. it's not only the great talks (unfortunately some work related issues forced me to sit in a corner of the public spaces if not in my el room for quite some time and i have lost some very interesting ones), most of all it's the people.

this conference attracts a crowd with an incredible percentage of very, very smart people. it's exciting and humbling, a great experience. it's definitely the best event of the year.

the list of interesting people i met is just too long to report (i would forget too many names), and the best part is that it's not only the usual suspects, i have met for the first time a whole bunch of persons that i'm really looking forward to meet again.

thanks everybody for these extraordinary days.

i'm a little confused. as an internet consultant specializing in search engine optimization, i believe that it is a good idea to mit your site to dmoz (a.k.a. odp or the open directory project) --in fact, google even encourages you to do so! however, being an odp editor myself, i can tell you from personal experience that perhaps only 10-20% of all the site suggestions we receive actually follow our guidelines...

i got my online version of the asrnews and was interested to read about two cable giants: charter and comcast, and the fact that asrnews tested their ivrs and found that the data customers feed in to the system is not used for cti screen-pop purposes. basically, charter and comcast are using their ivrs merely to annoy customers at the front end.

said the newsletter, "this month we tested charter communications.  no cti.  they gather id information from the caller and then throw it away. comcast does the same thing. these folks should either implet cti of get rid of their ivr that is doing nothing other than irritating callers."

more high-quality customer service from the cable companies. how could it get any worse? they play a eardrum-shattering screech tone into customers' ears as payback for daring to try and get in touch with customer service?
