EARLY TRAVELS // DOLOMITES // ITALY

 

NATURE IS BY FAR THE GREATEST SOURCE FOR INSPIRATION. ENDLESS BEAUTY IS TO BE FOUND IN THE SMALLEST DETAIL JUST AS WELL AS IN THE BIG PICTURE...

THE COLORS AND STRUCTURES OF STONES, PLANTS, RIVERS OR CLOUDS REFLECT ANY POSSIBLE IDEA AND AMAZE ME LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

Give Love Back // Opening // Ata Marcias & Partners

"From September 13th 2014 till January 11th 2015 the Museum Angewandte Kunst presents the first ever exhibition of Frankfurt DJ / creative entrepreneur Ata Macias and his partners. It reflects on the possible significance and presentation of applied art of today." 

We are really happy to be included in this amazing project and had a blast yesterday celebrating the opening with Ata and all his friends and companions. "Ata Macias’s activities combine design and fashion, club culture and food, and his name is virtually synonymous with Frankfurt’s growing awareness and reputation as a hip offspace metropolis."say the curators Dr Eva Linhart and Mahret Kupka.

We are flattered to know that Ata likes EARLY. He owns one of our classic hipbags and literally has been wearing it non stop for the past two years. For the Give Love Back Concept store he selected his favorite pieces and created a special edition with us, made of vegetable tanned leather perforated with the original Porsche hole-Pattern. It's obvious that both Hipbag styles are available in a very limited number. 

All the products of this wonderful concept store are thoughtfully picked and really worth stoping by!

MAKING OF / P EDITION / MINI POUCH

Sneak Peak at our upcoming special Edition for the "Give Love Back concept Store" at the museum of applied arts in Frankfurt am Main.

We are very excited about the collaboration with Ata Marcias, our friend and supporter since we started to develop the first EARLY collection. We decided to combine the features of the two existing editions and take it to a new level by having vegetable tanned leather perforated with the original hole-pattern Porsche used to process in their car interiors. So this special edition brings together the pattern and retro aspects of the vintage Edition and the high quality and ecological standards of the ECO Edition.

In the pictures below you can see how one of the items that Ata chose for the shop is made in our Frankfurt studio: The Mini Pouch.

If you are interested in purchasing something from this collection, visit the MAK in frankfurt. The Exhibition starts at September 12th and runs until January 11th.

EARLY @ AVOCADO PLEASE

WOW, SUCH A SWEET FEATURE ABOUT EARLY! THANK YOU PARIS BIELBY!

Find the complete post on her lovely blog called AVOCADO PLEASE

 

"EARLY are the latest hip German accessory label we’ve spied on our radar, and hooked is the only way to cover it. They are like the cool kid at the party that’s doing everything cool and you wanna be in their gang. Their ability to cater for every event a handbag accessory is essential for they do it, and they do it WELL.

As their bags are leather they’re not vegan; however they use vintage stock or vegetable-tanned, chrome free and organically coloured leather, that is then further processed.

Their 4V is essentially a large slouchy tote, but not just any old tote; it’s simple, comes in sensual shades, completely versatile and an excellent size to fit everything in you need: scarf, glasses, monies, additions, camera, lunchbox, anything really, you got it!

Then there’s the Classic Hipbag my favourite bag of this collection. It’s the perfect size for a festival, a night out, running errands and other menial annoying life tasks. You’ve got your essentials in there and you’re free to just dance, move, whatever the day or night away. You could possibly even use it for popping to the gym or to yoga- go crazy. At just under £200 it is quite pricey for such a bag; but when you’re not having to scrabble away for your Oyster or purse because it’s just hanging their, in this little baby, you’ll forget all about it. Also, suitable for cycling and looks likes it’s a staple keeper. Paying attention to simple details that make life special.

The beautiful baby sister of the Classic Hipbag is the Slim Hipbag This is loved for pretty much all of the above, in addition to the cute little eyelets. So cute I die.

The V Clutch. This bag also beautiful and versatile – see, they’re really good at that, aren’t they? It revs up the sophistication factor and seems a bit more grown up than the rest of the collection, more suited to dinner dates and such elegant, lady activities. Unfortunately, my lifestyle would not be fitting with this- I’m more sling on the hipbag at a festival to ensure I’m not losing my lip balm and coin purse kind of girl- but, more sophisticated ladies out there, I’m sure this would rock your socks and this ones for you.

The rest of their collection is distinctly beautiful too, all available on their site."

EARLY @ VOGUE GERMANY TOP 5 UPCOMING BAG LABELS

 

Die Manufaktur für Lederwaren in meiner Nachbarschaft entdeckte ich eher zufällig. Ich fand dort einen wunderbaren Schatz an Vintage-Ledern, der ungenutzt war und begann ihn zu verarbeiten. Nach und nach entwickelte sich daraus eine Leidenschaft für das Material sowie das Handwerk und am Ende eine eigene Kollektion. Nach meinem Abschluss als Designerin und einem sehr freien, künstlerischen Studium bot das Label die Möglichkeit, die verschiedenen Dinge, die ich mag und wichtig finde, miteinander zu verbinden. Etwa die Freude am Entwurf und daran, etwas nach ethischen und ökologischen Kriterien selbst herzustellen sowie mit Freunden zusammenzuarbeiten. Wir versuchen, im kompletten Prozess unserer Arbeit so viele gute Entscheidungen zu treffen wie möglich. Die Wertigkeit, die somit in den Produkten steckt, wird durch klares Design und hochklassige Verarbeitung komplettiert. Das Endprodukt soll aber durch den Look und seine Schönheit überzeugen, denn wir sehen einen großen Bedarf an überzeugendem Design im Bereich "Eco Fashion". 


**************************************************************************************************************

The start of the label was a lucky coincidence when I visited a manufacturer of leather goods in my neighborhood near Offenbach am Main which is considered the leather capital of Germany. I came across an amazing treasure trove of unused vintage leather. I started using this lovely material and I gradually developed a great passion for it and its craft. I ended up creating a whole collection. This was after I graduated from art college, where I had focused primarily on artistic projects. EARLY allowed me to combine different aspects of the creative process that I love: the joy of designing; engaging with all stages of the making process and ensuring it is both sustainable and ethical; as well as collaborating with my friends. 

Our focus relies on trying to incorporate as many good decisions as possible. We exclusively use vegetable-tanned leather or vintage stock that is then further processed at regional manufacturers. The ethical value of our products is complemented by crisp design and high quality manufacturing. It is essential to have a final product that shines because of its look and its beauty. Contemporary design is relatively rare in the world of eco fashion, but EARLY tries to show that it is possible to combine an ethical product with good design.
