STEEL APPEAL : Schreib Kultir Lifestyle on Stewart/Stand

SchreibKultur Magazine is a luxury lifestyle magazine, produced for the Stationary and Personal Accessories Industry. Editor, Sabine Baumstark, caught up with Paul Stewart-Stand while he was touring the European Market. In her four page exposé, she presents the brand's origins & plans for the future. SchreibKultur :

KNITTING STEEL : Finely woven steel wallets and bags by American Designer Stewart/Stand. These eye-catching bags represent the modern lifestyle.

Nothing is impossible - a new exclusive material gives wallets and accessories a unique look. Finely woven steel strands combine to form a silky and luminous luster, two designers from New York have marketed their discover. An entire product line has evolved from this fascinating material: wallets, purses, messenger bags, computer bags. These chic accessories appeal to men and women alike.

Always on the lookout for something new, I wondered who were the people behind this unusual idea? The Stewart/Stand Design Firm was founded in 2002 by brothers Theo & Paul Stewart-Stand in Brooklyn, New York. Theo conjured up the idea while attending an exhibition on Extreme Materials in New York, "I ​​was drawn to the material, I needed to find a reason to incorporate this material into my every-day."

The brothers traced the fabric to a materials factory in Italy specializing in Technical-Textiles. It took several trips to various Leather Goods Manufacturers to find a producer who was able & willing to implement the designers' dream, "It cost us many nights of reflection, creating and re-drafting, until the products finally met our expectations", explains Paul. Such an inventive product would require precision tailoring equipment & highly trained professionals.

Developing the product line took roughly 10 years. Presented today, the Stewart/Stand Stainless Steel Wallet & Accessories Collection offers the complete range of Mens & Womens Small Personal Goods. The individual threads of the fabric, although strong, feel like silk. The material is brilliant - robust and extremely weather resistant. Impervious to acids & salts, they offer an additional technical safeguard: they can protect your personal information from radio frequency theft (RFID).

In the U.S., the embedded RFID chips in credit cards, bank cards, IDs & passports are a hot topic. Increasingly, people seek solutions securing their private information through RFID Blocking products. The designers at Stewart/Stand have solved this problem in a sophisticated and elegant display of style. The Stainless Steel Wallet creates a Faraday cage, protecting all RFID enabled devices from detection. Time has told - years have passed, not a single customer has contacted Stewart/Stand claiming their data was stolen.

Stewart/Stand has also caught the attention of the U.S. media. Appearances on The Today Show (NBC) and on Good Morning America (ABC) has introduced the Stainless Steel Wallets & Accessories to a large audience and into the consciousness of the consumer. The design firm has also been featured in Lifestyle magazines such as "Elle Decor", "Rondo" & "WIRED", and has landed feature-articles in "The Boston Globe", a leading news source for the North East, U.S.

A great success in America, Stewart/Stand has followed their fans beyond the U.S. boarders. New markets lead to broadening the collections in order to capture the nuances of a distinct customer base. For example, wallets & accessories that combine leather and the stainless steel silk. The original design is easily marketed to a vegan market, the Texture Collection targets Architects & the Design Savvy. All the designs are accessible to the Eco-Conscious Consumer, more than 85% of the stainless steel is post-consumer recycled.

We caught up with Paul Stewart-Stand while he was touring the European Market at Tendence in Frankfurt. The Stewart/Stand Stainless Steel Wallets & Accessories premier was presented by the German Distributors HV Sales & Marketing Consult via Wiesbaden. Hans-J Vogl, a principal at the European Firm had only one comment to make "The Stewart/Stand brand can only be described as a successful fit for our retailer. Finally something new and unique in both design and functionality."

STEEL APPEAL : Stewart/Stand in EU News

RHEINISCHE POST Thursday 10. NOV 2011

ULTRA THIN THREADS, FOR A DISTINCT DESIGN: The USA is home for the modern lifestyle designers at Stewart/Stand. Their design's unusual appearance has caused an incredible response. Yet, quite fitting for the country of unlimited possibilities. Theo & Paul Stewart-Stand effortlessly preserve their reputation and the constant search for new design. The design on their first wallet began after a visit to an exhibit on extreme materials; An industrial material, ultra thin, a technical development. The material was beautiful, an every day application was thought necessary.

Now, the line of designer bags, handbags and wallets have set out to conquer the European market. “Those are crazy products. We had a showing this year, and we encountered an enormous resonance”, says Vogl. Hans J. Vogl. Vogl is the Sales Director in Wiesbaden for HV Sales who has been entrusted with the European Sales for Stewart/Stand. Vogl is convinced the contemporary profile will be a success: “The application, the design, the steel industry itself is rushing in.”

This material is essential to the industry of the industrialized world, yet it is a pleasantly resplendent fabric with a metallic sheen. The products, which are offered for ladies and gentlemen, are all woven from stainless steel. “For one item, for example, approximately 25,000 fine steel threads need to be woven”, Hans j. Vogl. A single thread is only 1/3 the thickness of a piece of paper. Their are nine different wallet categories to choose from. And a completely unique women's collection of handbags. “A daring experiment, but a perfect demonstration.”

But the Stewart/Stand line is also brilliantly designed for another reason entirely. Wallets, Bags made from the steel threads make stealing credit card & passport information impossible. The material protects against the transmission of sensitive information via RFID chips. This is a major topic in America. If private data is to remain private, RFID-blocking coverings are required. Here is a very estimated advantage of Stewart/Stand's design. This product line feels as smooth as silk, but is strong and weather-proof... and secure.

SEE YOU THERE : Break Mission at The Bitter End

The Break Mission : Saturday, November 12th at 9pm...The Break Mission live at The Bitter End in Greenwich Village (147 Bleecker St). The Break Mission had humble beginnings—two best friends who heard Pearl Jam’s Ten many years ago and decided they couldn’t both keep playing drums. Matt won out, and Jeff picked up his dad’s guitar and began writing terrible songs. Over the course of nearly twenty years, the sound matured as they began carving out a musical identity. In the wake of their debut for RoHo, the song “Hold On” was included in a national compilation for Starbuck’s, and media outlets such as Boston Magazine, SPIN magazine and Clear Channel praised the album.

STEEL APPEAL : Beekman Boys "Project Muck Boot"

The Fabulous Beekman Boys. These Manhattan city slickers actually did what us "city folk" have fleeting impulses to do. They bought ‘the farm they fell in love with’ while taking a weekend in Northern New York State. Yes, the Beekman Mansion is quite a draw, but the ‘working farm’ that comes with it... that is where most of us start having second thoughts.

If you have heard of Josh Kilmer-Purcell and his partner Dr. Brent Ridge then you know about their muck boots. These city slickers can dress as cosmopolitan as they like while caring for their goats, pigs and their llamas, but without their handy "muck boots" it just wouldn't seem practical.

A chance meeting b/t Brent and Stewart/Stand while working in the city lead to a request to draw-up designs for custom stainless steel "muck boots"... in time for The Beekman Boy’s Fashion's Night Out soirée at Henri Bendel. Designer’s Paul Stewart- Stand & Nik Castronova gladly accepted the fashion challenge and put their talents to work. The Beekman Boys flipped out over their fancy new footwear & they have been spotted wearing them ever since.

The latest event the Fabulous Beekman Boys attended at Christofle's was no exception. Christofle hosted and toasted Josh & Brent as they celebrated the launch of their popular cook book "The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Cookbook". They wore their custom made Stewart/Stand boots, a perfect pairing for such a fabulous occasion.
