Form follows function with this Everlane bag

NEWS – Ladies, forget about using big, bulky bags for your everyday carry.  The streamlined Form bag from Everlane can carry your gear, including a laptop.  The bag is made of 100% Italian leather in Prato, Italy.  Although it measures only 13” tall x 5” deep x 10.5” wide, the bag can fit up to a 13″ laptop inside (horizontally).

The 1.6″ wide strap adjusts from a minimum of 27″ to 44.5″, so you can wear it as a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag.    Inside, you’ll find a pocket and plenty of room in the body of the bag for a laptop, a water bottle, plus your other daily gear.  The top is held closed by magnets, so there’s no zippers to scratch your laptop.

The Form bag is available in black, cognac, or green leather.  The black is available to ship now, but the other two colors ship October 28.  Each bag is $235.00.  Learn more and purchase at the Everlane website.

Master & Dynamic go wireless again with the MW07 earphones. Totally wireless.

NEWS – Premium headphone maker Master & Dynamic would never admit to being satisfied with all they have accomplished in four short years. Even if they have just about covered all the audio bases in they’re product line of headphones, earphones and Bluetooth speakers. So what’s left? Truly wireless earphones, that’s what. M&D have not only developed their own spin on the wireless earphone market, but they have upped the game with the MW07 True Wireless Earphones.

The MW07 earphones incorporate Bluetooth 4.2 and 10mm beryllium speaker drivers. They’re made with premium materials, such as stainless steel and handcrafted acetate. The lightweight acetate shells are made in a time-honored way that dates back to the 1800s, giving each pair a unique and classic look. 

There are four choices of earpiece colors: Grey Terrazzo, Tortoiseshell, Steel Blue and Matte Black. They sit inside a chrome, stainless steel case with lights that indicate charging status. The MW07’s are slim, sit close to the ear and look good doing it. Each earpiece contains custom buttons that make it easy to control volume and play/pause/voice control. Optical sensors detect when an earpiece is removed and pauses the music. Audio is resumed when the earpiece is placed back into the ear.

Beryllium drivers are typically used in hi-fi products and result in a warm sound that M&D is becoming famous for. “Our goal is to offer the best of both superior sound and sophisticated design to our customers,” says Jonathan Levine, M&D founder and CEO. “With the launch of the MW07, we’ve not only improved the user experience, but we’ve selected premium materials to take true wireless earphones into uncharted territory.”

I had a chance to test a prototype of the MW07s and came away impressed with the quality of both the audio and build. If they were prototypes, you could have fooled me. I will soon be doing a full review of the finished version MW07 wireless earphone.

The MW07 True Wireless Earphones are available now from M&D and sell for $299 US. Visit Master & Dynamic for more information.

Add a USB charger to your nightlight

NEWS – Even though our condo has more electrical outlets than any other place I’ve lived, we still never seem to have enough.  I have so many things to charge or power, and a need to have lamps in every room because only the kitchen has an overhead light, that I have no room for nightlights.  With the RevJams USB Wall Charger Night Light, I’d be able to have a charger that is also a nightlight.

The charger’s multifunctional button turns the LED nightlight on or off with a tap, or long-tap it to adjust light levels.  A smart memory function recalls the last LED light setting.  The two USB ports on the bottom automatically detect connected devices and deliver the optimal charging voltage to protect against overcharging and overheating.

The RevJams charger has prongs that fold away for easy transport.  The charger is available in white with rose gold accents or with silver accents.  The RevJams USB Wall Charger Night Light is $24.95 at The Grommet.

Take your Apple Watch from “sporty” to “fine jewelry” with a Smart Caviar band

NEWS – Forget about plastic, leather, or stainless steel bands – these Apple Watch bands from LAGOS are firmly pegged at the “fine jewelry” end of the spectrum.  The Smart Caviar bands are made of sterling silver, 18K gold, and diamonds.  Steven Lagos, the founder and Creative Director of LAGOS, says:  “I’m a big fan of the Apple Watch® and love the functionality.

The Smart Caviar bands are available in four unisex styles.  The sterling Smart Caviar band is $950, and the sterling/18K two-tone band is $3500.

The partial diamond Smart Caviar band had 1.20 carats of diamonds and is $5000; the full-diamond band with 2.48 carats is $8500.  All four styles accommodate both the 38mm and 42mm Apple Watch (Series 1, Series 2, and Series 3), and all come with a sizing tool and one extra link to ensure a comfortable fit.  Additional links, if needed, may be purchased for $80 – $700 each, depending on the materials.
