HEADS UP: Here we are, negotiating summer. What does this signify? Too many things to name. In the rag trade, however, one aspect of the season is the round of press previews of designer and brand fall-winter collections that end some time in August. Team VEVLYN'S PEN has not had much to say of late about fashion. We take this time, however, through late August to break our silence to jaw about what select brands and/or designers will have in store (literally) beginning in a matter of a few weeks through to the end of the year. Do bear with us, this is our maiden voyage into these waters outside of fashion weeks. Anchors aweigh!

WHAT happens in a mashup of Erickson Beamon and LeSportsac? An easy moniker along the lines of Urbo (Urban Bohemian) or Kimye(Kim Kanye) does not immediately emerge.

This bag has a message for you.

But what does materialize from this first-time collaboration is a 36-piece bejeweled (actual and print) travel accessories collection that is utterly fashionable and functional. The Winter 2014 collection, available beginning in October, has an answer for just about every occasion. Repurposing opportunities abound.
