LMB Designs is launching Turtlebacks, a new collection of pet apparel inspired by nature and made from earth-friendly materials.
- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) August 18, 2010 - This week at New York Pet Fashion Week, LMB Designs is launching Turtlebacks, a new collection of pet apparel inspired by nature and made from earth-friendly materials. LMB Designs, owned and operated by Lisa M. Barnes, designs wearable works of art including knit jewelry, purses, hats, wristlets and wraps for people, and now pets.
The pet apparel collection, called Turtlebacks, was inspired by the Diamondback Terrapin turtle, and will launch with two featured sweaters. The first is the Turtleback Signature Sweater- a stylish and artful tribute to the colorful abstract shapes of the turtle's shell. The second is the Birch Branch Sweater, designed in the style of a fisherman's sweater and created as an elegant, cozy pullover with a sturdy spine of birch branches. Both will be exhibited in booth #185-186 at Pet Fashion Week. The Turtleback Signature Sweater was one of a few designs selected at the 2010 Fashion Institute of Technology Pet Fashion Show to travel the world with Pet Fashion Week, which opens in New York on August 21, 2010.
According to the 2010 Pet Products Trend Report, people around the world are making conscious efforts to help our planet, and the pet industry is no exception. Turtlebacks designs are made from earth-friendly, locally sourced materials such as alpaca, cashmere, chaguar, and other exclusive fibers. Alpaca is one of the most luxurious and rarest of fibers and is naturally water-repellent, hypoallergenic, breathable, durable, and a renewable natural resource. Chaguar is a strong plant fiber used in South America that can be woven to make dog collars and leashes.
Through collaboration with women's artisan collective groups, LMB Designs provides support and jobs for women around the world, as well as supporting the environment. The designs are handmade by women's collectives in Peru, Nepal, and Argentina to provide high quality products while supporting fair trade practices and contributing to the economic independence of these communities. By supporting LMB Designs, customers not only receive a unique creation, but they also help save natural resources and give back to the world community.
