Tech-travel Acquisition: Bags

Tech-travel case manufacturer Skooba Design has been acquired by Norazza, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of a wide variety of accessories through the consumer electronics, office supply and mass market channels. Buffalo, NY - based Norazza chose Skooba for its complementary products, and to increase its own design, branding, and online marketing capabilities.

“We've had our eye on the Skooba business for several years,” remarks Norazza CEO Thomas Sperazza. "Our own bag business has been growing dramatically, and the addition of Skooba’s high level of creativity, design talent and industry experience will help take the category to new levels and new markets for us." Sperazza adds that Skooba’s custom design division – which develops and manufactures turnkey carrying case solutions for corporate and industrial clients – brings a significant new growth channel to the business.

Norazza was founded in 2002 as a small distribution business, and has since grown to a leading multi-brand supplier servicing tens of thousands of retail outlets through a broad distribution network. Its products include Ape Case photo/electronic bags, Endust for Electronics cleaning products, and Enspire Field Shower Packs. With the acquisition, Norazza will add Skooba's branded line of laptop bags and accessories, its custom design and manufacturing service business, as well as its recently-introduced Hotdog Yoga bag line, which Sperazza says is the first step in the company's big push into the fitness and outdoor markets.

Skooba Design founder Michael Hess says, "We're thrilled to have Skooba join this fast-growing family of brands. We've always been known as a 'boutique' line, selling primarily through specialty outlets; under Norazza's roof, Skooba and Hotdog have overnight access to an enormous new dealer base and variety of markets." Hess says he was impressed when, less than a week after the acquisition, Norazza had secured commitments to get the Skooba line into two of the largest distributors in the world: "This is a company that knows how to execute on a large scale."

Skooba's design team will join Norazza, and will be working on all products and marketing across the company's brand portfolio.

Gwen Stefani in Signorelli 2014

Kirsten Stewart Goes Cowgirl Chic for Chanel

Way back in March, leaked images of Kirsten Stewart’s ad campaign for Chanel hit the web, but now the brand has officially released a sneak preview of the shoot that shows the star arrive in her usual grungy hoody and beanie, before being glammed up and turned into a Lagerfeld-inspired cowgirl.

In the teaser, the actress dons a variety of pieces from Karl Lagerfeld’s Texan-inspired cowgirl range that were debuted at the 2013/14 Chanel's Métiers d'Art collection in December last year. The video shows Stewart exiting her car and entering the building with a highly sought after Chanel 2014 graffiti backpack, and then follows her transformation into a couture cowgirl by a squad of makeup artists and stylists. Dramatic eye liner cornrows and a huge fringed poncho thrown over a star spangled gown all make an appearance, as do denim dungarees, frilly lace white shirts and Aztec-inspired leggings.

At no time during the film do we see the sulky side of Kirsten she’s become so famous for, and she even cracks a wide smile at around the 50 second mark. She seems completely at ease with modelling and is clearly on great terms with Lagerfeld, as the pair is seen chatting happily and embracing when the shoot is over.

Stewart has been harshly criticized in the past and her penchant for pouting is legendary, but she’s definitely become a bit of a fashion icon recently, and has graduated from her stunning Balenciaga campaigns to becoming the face of the world’s most famous fashion brand.

After the huge success of the Twilight franchise, Stewart could have advertised anything random or entertainment related like Riverbelle, and fans would have flocked to purchase or enjoy whatever she endorsed. She has chosen her campaigns carefully however, and carved out a niche in the couture world that no one can ignore.

Kirsten Stewart is the typical all-American girl and this chic cowboy Chanel campaign seems to have been created especially to suit her. She rocks the look and embodies the Texan spirit, which she said she loved as it’s so very classic USA. Lagerfeld, who’s currently enjoying a bit of a pop culture moment at present, also seems thrilled with their collaboration and trendsetters are sure to want to get their hands on several of the cowgirl-chic pieces from his Chanel 2013/14 Métiers d'Art collection.
