Prps in Clash Magazine August 2010 Issue
Arguably the loudest shirt Prps have ever made is featured in this months Clash Magazine. The Multi coloured shirt worn by one of the members of the band 'The Ganglians' - Sacramento’s Ganglians want an island somewhere where they can soak in the sun and prowl the canopy by night. It’s not often that they do get out, but they can get down for that. Recording sometimes as one, sometimes as four it’s a real game to figure out where the entity comes from and where it’s going. First and foremost it’s about uncertain pleasures. It’s a bit like choose your own adventure.
The shirt will be available on Indigofera's webstore next season.
COTEetCIEL featured in Shortlist Magazine 29th July 2010
COTEetCIEL's Laptop Rucksack, chosen by Shortlist Magazine as this weeks 'Essential Purchase', has been well received in the UK market place since arriving in stores in June. Damir Doma's clever design is a great twist on an otherwise boring high street product - The Rucksack. Your Laptop is stored flat against your back in a very protective padded compartment where there's also space to stash your plug, cables, mouse and all the other bit & bobs. Apart from being the logical place to put the Laptop the compartment provides excellent security as it's impossible to open when the rucksack is being worn, it is still very discrete when not on your back. The second larger compartment accessed through the verticle zip on the folded flap of the rucksack has enough room for gym kit, over night clobber or books to suit all your needs.
Available in 2 sizes 15" & 17" the COTEetCIEL rucksack comes in 3 colours and is available from our webstore now - To buy now click here
