Dertbag, Shay Kawaii, H33M & Chicago Playground Showcase FW’18 Streetwear Looks at Cipriani During New York Fashion Week
This past month at Cipriani, Dertbag, Shay Kawaii, H33M and Chicago Playground showcased their FW’18 collections during Style Fashion Week New York. While Style Fashion Week has been known for supporting established, emerging and international designers since their beginnings in 2011—this season during New York Fashion Week, they partnered with Papertrail Magazine in effort to support the increasingly popular streetwear culture. These young brands and designers, often the inspiration behind luxury giants, rarely make their way to the New York Fashion Week runway—operating under tight margins without corporate budgets to produce major runway shows.
Style Fashion Week helps to share the cost of these major productions—providing
designers the platform to display their work on the same level as their luxury competitors. 
Style Fashion Week recognizes that these designers are a vital piece of the fashion community and will continue to work to support them.

Inspired By Travel, Fueled By Adventure
Sail Away Coffee Co. is taking cold brew coffee to the next level with the launch of their brand new canned nitro cold brew. Previously available on tap in select locations, the company is thrilled to be taking their rich and smooth nitro-infused coffee on the go, starting March 7th, 2018, in three different flavors: sweetened, unsweetened, and sea salt & caramel featuring real Amagansett salt.
To celebrate, Sail Away Coffee Co. will be hosting a very special event on Long Island on March 3rd, 2018 at The Nova Sanctuary. Joining them for the evening will be Montauk Brew Co., Sailor Jerry, Cutty Sark, Liberty Links, Liege Waffle, and The Holy Black.
Tickets are available now for donation-based purchase at buytickets.at/sailawaycoffeeco/142298. All proceeds will benefit Island Harvest, the largest hunger relief organization on Long Island, to help families in need.
Founded in 2015 by Chris Vetter, Sail Away Coffee Co. was inspired by Vetter’s experiences touring through Central America as the frontman of New York Hardcore outfit Kills and Thrills. Vetter fell in love with the robust flavors he encountered while traveling and so, after nearly a decade on the road supporting the likes of letlive., Every Time I Die, the Chariot, and more, decided to create his own stage by founding Sail Away Coffee.
After crafting a flavor profile he loved and testing his product throughout the Long Island market, the company launched its ready-to-drink cold brew product line in late 2015. With over 200 retail locations in the region, Sail Away Coffee Co. has become a staple in the NYC area for coffee lovers and novices alike. Anchored on its slogan, “Live Young,” Sail Away pairs its free-spirited approach to flavor with a well-traveled palate.
Sail Away Coffee Co. has been doing its part to keep Long Island and New York City caffeinated for the last 2 years with their unrivaled 24 hour delivery service, in addition to being available in select locations. 2018 promises to see the company expand their smooth, rich brew even further with new products in the works and additional locations – all while providing the same love and attention to detail that went into their very first batch.
They’re thrilled to be bringing coffee lovers their latest product, a canned nitro cold brew, which will be available for delivery starting on March 7th.

Finding All Your Stuff Made Easy with the Cube Tracker
You can attach your Cube Tracker to so many of the things you need. Use it to find your keys, phone, purse or jacket. When that thing is lost, ping Cube with your mobile phone to make it ring. You can find your phone with Cube Tracker too by pinging your mobile phone with the button on Cube. Cube will make your phone ring even if your phone is on silent! The Cube Tracker app shows the last known location on a map and uses Bluetooth to tell you if you are near or far.
Say you lose your keys in the rain, Cube Tracker is waterproof. Say you lose them in the snow, Cube Tracker can survive in sub-zero temps. This genius product can even help you find something you didn’t realize you lost. Once you remember you lost your keys, Cube Tracker can help you find them up to two years after you tagged them.
Why You Have to Have a Cube Tracker:
Long Distance – The Cube Tracker app’s map shows you the location where your item was last seen. Once you’re there, your item will be within 100 feet.
Replaceable Battery – When your battery dies, just replace it. Competitor’s products don’t have this feature, which means when their batteries die, the product must be replaced.
Use for Anything – You can attach a Cube Tracker to your purse or jacket with a special hook.
