MARSALA - COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2015 by PANTONE

Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.

The Versatility of Marsala

• Equally appealing to men and women, Marsala is a stirring and flavorful shade for apparel and accessories, one that encourages color creativity and experimentation
• Flattering against many skin tones, sultry and subtle Marsala is a great go-to color for beauty, providing enormous highlight for the cheek, and a captivating pop of color for nails, shadows lips and hair.
• Dramatic and at the same time grounding, the rich and full-bodied red-brown Marsala brings color warmth into home interiors
• An earthy shade with a bit of sophistication, texture is the story in print and packaging. A matte finish highlights Marsala’s organic nature while adding a sheen conveys a completely different message of glamour and luxury.

FEIT HANDMADE

Since opening their own factory last year, Australian shoemaker FEIT has changed their business approach by providing consumers and specialty retailers with direct service on a new online platform.  Here’s how it works: each month, sample images are emailed to select members who have 10 days to request by responding “Make Me A Pair”.  Each style is offered in limited quantities and once the desired capacity is met, the shoes are then put into production.  Only remaining pairs will be made available for pre-order for a short time…and then the countdown begins — literally.  The six-year old brand also offers Private Label and Made-To-Measure services to clients who appreciate the quality craftsmanship, natural leathers and components for three major constructions: Handsewn Goodyear Welt, Handsewn Stitchdown and Traditional Moccasins.

Check out FEIT’s latest OXFORD X-RAY available in Ox Blood or Black Horween Chromexcel leather, featuring a flexible transparent rubber sole, reinforced with Vibram tread. Hurry up and order….the clock is ticking with only 57 Days left.
