This season MOSLEY TRIBES has partnered with LA based Temple Bag Co. to release an amazing hip pack that is made with materials from another era. Each bag is hand made in Downtown Los Angeles with materials salvaged from WWII. The pack is made from salvaged Italian and German canvas,  the frame sleve is constructed from actual parachute material and rip stop cords, then finished off with gilded metal fasteners and oiled saddle leather.  The inspiration for this case came from a cold war Russian SKS rifle that i had received from my late grandfather, and with this rifle came the ammunition pouch that had stood the test of time. So I approached  Temple Bags with  my idea and the collab was born. So today we share with you the exclusive version that will be available at all Barneys Co-op retailers this Monday and also online, the  feature frame is the Tana Aviator with Green Mirror Lenses.

This week was Market Week in NY, our team out there has been hustling long hours meeting with the right buyers that will make our coming season a huge success.  After speaking with Kristin over the phone this morning and recapping the whole week. She filled me in on buyers response to the collection ( which has continued to be amazing throughout all market segments) and the little amount of sleep she got, and after receiving this photo in my in-box it all became clear to me how crazy her week had been.  Mosley Tribes and Oliver Peoples team on the east coast attended the premier event in the accessories market called the Annual ACE Awards high fashion accessories designers and design houses were applauded for there creative collections of 2010.  Kristin and Jon Carlo conversed with Mr. West for a brief moment at the awards dinner and thanked him for his continued support of Mosley Tribes and Oliver Peoples. Thank you sir we look forward to more great looks from you.
