Desert Chic: Scottsdale-Based Luxury Accessories Brand Launches Arizona-Inspired Variation of Best-Selling Clutch Handbag

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- For travelers and locals alike looking to always be reminded of the heart, soul and grandeur for which Arizona is known, Soul Carrier, a Scottsdale-based luxury accessories brand, announced today the launch of a chic new variation of the best-selling clutch handbag paying homage to The Grand Canyon State and the more than 30-million guests annually who seek rest, relaxation and rejuvenation within its buzzing resort community.

Available at some of Arizona's most prestigious resort boutiques including The Phoenician, JW Marriott Camelback Inn and the historic Arizona Biltmore Waldorf Astoria, Soul Carrier was founded by Jennifer Paige Boonlorn, a first generation Thai American, with the intent of helping women confidently transport the things that are important to them while catering to a luxury resort clientele.

While Jennifer chose to focus this new line on her home state, Soul Carrier handbags can be found nationally from the Beverly Hills Hotel to the new Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C.

As versatile as it is functional, this unique handbag works as a clutch, or when dropped into a larger carrier can organize smaller items. Complete with a debossed message on the inner leather pocket that reads, "I Found Myself in Arizona," this version of the clutch also features a few new enhancements including a velvet liner, a side leather tassel, and gold hardware to allow the bag to double as a crossbody with the addition of a strap. This style is offered in a variety of options including full grain leather and hair on natural cowhide, with additional specialty leather releases planned in the coming months.

"Arizona is such a metaphor for space and how you want to respond to life, from the grandiosity of our mountain ranges and the sunny skies that go on for miles to the rambling desert that extends out of Phoenix in every direction. The wild-west ethos provides a can-do-get-up-and-go-entrepreneurial spirit, which is what these variations are inspired by," said Jennifer. "Since the bags are sold at Arizona resorts, we're looking at this line as a way to create lasting connections with tourists and the many locals who long for nearby staycations, in hopes of contributing to their evangelism and return visits."

An Arizona State University graduate, Jennifer found solace in travel and connecting with others seeking peace after a tragic accident in which she lost both of her parents. Following her father's footsteps as a designer, she founded Soul Carrier in 2009.

No stranger to the fashion world, Jennifer lived and worked in New York City, obtaining valuable experience in fashion and visual merchandising with designers such as Oscar de la Renta and brands including American Eagle Outfitters. At Conde Nast, she focused on Women's Wear Daily Accessories, procuring items and coordinating photo shoots for women's accessory guides and feature articles.

"I remember subway rides where I daydreamed of cacti, intense sunshine, and the intangible vibe of the desert community. I never stopped longing for the nourishment that came via living in Arizona. The warm heat of the southwest was ingrained in my being, and that fever never fully broke during my time back east," said Jennifer. "Yet, through all the glamor of Fashion Week, all the sparkling lights that make up the Big Apple, all the golden opportunities, my soul longed for the dry-dusty desert, and I hope with this new line, the essence of Arizona can be taken and experienced just about everywhere."

The Story of the Orange Dress: Ashburn-Based Private Chef Turned Heads at her Wedding in Local Berryville, VA

ASHBURN, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Private Chef and Owner of Fleur de Cuisine, Natalie Ramos (now Natalie Vaughn), has shared her story about overcoming adversity on her way to success in building her chef and catering business in Loudoun County, Virginia. Through sharing her story about growing up in Brooklyn, New York's housing projects, Natalie has gained a large following for her strength, willingness, and determination for overcoming obstacles that led to her personal and professional success.

Vaughn continued to turn heads when celebrating her wedding on September 30, 2022 stunting an incredibly unique orange gown.

The Private Chef met her new husband, Michael Vaughn, after a bitter divorce that ended in alleged domestic violence with a near fatal ending. Michael Vaugh came to Natalie after being in an emotionally abusive relationship for over 20 years. They met each other online after friends convinced them that this was the way to meet new faces. At first glance you wouldn't view them to be a lifelong couple, as Natalie was more fashion forward and a community socialite, while Michael was more understated and less dramatic in his appearance. However, the couple found love in their similar stories, love for family, and love for life.

The couple decided on September 30th for their wedding date; A date that held traumatic memories for the bride, as this was the date that her grandmother passed, the date when she was pushed from a moving vehicle, and the date of a car accident that nearly took her life.

It was this date that Natalie decided to fill with positivity moving forward.

The theme of the wedding held true to the late September date and encompassed Fall details throughout. Orange had always been a color of change for Natalie, and it represented life's way of adapting to order. The orange dress was one of which Natalie designed herself from Di Domenico Designs by Dress Maker, Kelsy Hall. The two made their connection through Fleur de Cuisine catering Hall's wedding, and now it was Natalie's turn. Together, her and Natalie came up with a dress that would represent the greatest change in Natalie's life, finally feeling loved. The dress was bohemian style that fell free and embraced being open to the new world ahead, with just enough embroidery and jewels to convey Natalie's fashion-driven personality.

The wedding was held at Juniper Acres in Berryville, VA, and was chosen for its beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain views, and was also owned by local friends.

The wedding in total supported over 16 local community businesses and was filled with delicious hors d'oeuvres at the cocktail hour including petite Philly cheesesteaks, a hot dog station, walking taco station, French fry stations, an elaborate charcuterie station, and even SpaghettiOs. The tables were filled with pictures of things the couple loved, including polaroid cameras and memento albums to save photographs for the bride and groom. The wedding favors included local apple pie moonshine, a warm cozy blanket, popcorn and m&m's, and pecan pie jars.

To make things even more personal, Natalie reached out to family members to find siblings she hadn't seen in over 15 years to attend the wedding and further signify new beginnings. Natalie also took samples of her father's voice and added it to her first dance song with her father's brothers and son who also walked her down the aisle, leaving the guests in tears. In addition, Natalie helped Michael with his mother-son dance by soliciting the help of a friend and local musician, Hilary Veltri, to sing an acoustic rendition of the theme song from the popular television show "The Golden Girls" of which Michael and his mother would watch daily.

The guests filled with joy and love for the blending family, and raved positivity about incorporating Michael and Natalie's LGBTQ daughters by having drag queens in attendance. It was a local community wedding celebrating all things change and diversity.

Talon International Launches New Anti-Counterfeit and Consumer Engagement Technology, StegVision

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Talon International is excited to launch breakthrough anti-counterfeit and consumer engagement technology: StegVision functions off an easy-to-use app that helps businesses and consumers combat counterfeit products across all industries and create powerful engagement(s) with their consumers.

By combining AI, machine learning, computer vision, and steganography, StegVision encodes invisible unique labels or markings for brands and products. Algorithms are placed within the label design that only StegVision's app can see. By giving each brand or product its own unique invisible markings, StegVision prevents fake products and counterfeit items from easily entering the market and being sold as originals.

Larry Dyne, CEO of Talon, said, "Counterfeit products and difficulties with product authentication cause many businesses unmanageable losses. Furthermore, customers need to have confidence in the retailer they're buying from. Should they discover a brand selling counterfeit products, their perception of that company would change drastically, and they would be unlikely to make a purchase. Now, with StegVision, consumers can buy with certainty, and brands can protect their products from counterfeiting."

One element brands will love about StegVision is how easy it is to implement and roll out. Their anti-counterfeiting solutions require no changes to the clients existing artwork, logo, or design. There's no need for invasive tags, QR codes, or expensive printing methods: production processes can stay as they are.

StegVision opens a new marketing communications channel, giving brands direct access to engaged consumers. The moment of authentication is a crucial step in the purchasing decision. Empowering brands to interact with consumers instantly will be game-changing for conversions.

It has become much easier to produce and distribute counterfeit products. The rise in internet shopping and international shipping has created a global network of fakes. StegVision gives brands control over their distribution network and provides a direct connection to retailers and customers.

Having consulted some of the biggest names across multiple industries, Talon International discovered prevalent counterfeiting issues and reviewed the problems with existing anti-counterfeit solutions. From there, development began, creating a SaaS platform and app that businesses and consumers can have confidence in.

Consumers can now use the StegVision technology within their favorite brand's app and begin scanning products to check for authenticity. Seamless API integration allows businesses to introduce StegVision to their existing systems.

Unlike other anti-counterfeiting apps, StegVision sees its technology as being revolutionary for all industries, particularly those facing a battle against counterfeiting, including fashion, wine, toys, pharmaceuticals, and more.

About Talon International & StegVision Technology:

Talon International invented the world's first zipper in 1893. Since then, they've been leading the way with solutions in tags, labeling, custom trim, and printed marketing solutions. They continue to move forward with protecting brand integrity to serve consumers with confidence, thanks to the introduction of StegVision anti-counterfeiting solutions.

Talon International is excited to launch breakthrough anti-counterfeit and consumer engagement technology: StegVision functions off an easy-to-use app that helps businesses and consumers combat counterfeit products across all industries and create powerful engagement(s) with their consumers.

Given Talon's reputation for continuously revolutionizing their product offerings, as well as transforming the fashion industry, they always seek opportunities to serve their customers better. The cooperation with KC Wearable Technologies provides Talon with the ability to sell and distribute creative and unique solutions. Developments like heating systems for clothing and accessories, cooling systems for fashion and activewear, and wireless charging pockets for smartphones, will provide Talon customers with industry leading technology, to stay at the forefront of their competitors. With patented technologies, which are often designed to be removable for washing and cleaning purposes, Talon foresees their widespread use in the future.

"We've already had significant interest from our existing customer base, which has us very excited for the future of our industry," says Larry Dyne, CEO at Talon International Inc. "Thanks to our partnership with KC Wearable Technologies, these technologies can be applied to garments and accessories, to create superior products with short development to market times."

Joint Development of Further Innovations:

By combining the abilities of KC with those of Talon, both companies will begin the process of jointly exploring further game changing initiatives. For example, KC has integrated NFC tags into buttons and silicone patches, to allow consumers to create convenient shortcuts on their smartphones. In future, Talon will now also roll out this concept on many of its existing product lines, including trims, Velcro patches, fasteners, and zippers.

Dominik Kufner, Managing Partner at KC, points out another example of where the combined abilities of KC and Talon will lead to new initiatives: "In the near future, we plan to jointly create new safety vests, with a wide range of revolutionary new safety functions. With integrated new communication tools, sensor technologies and alarm systems, workers can be safer than ever before."

Sofia Cinel, Managing Partner of KC points out another invention which will change the future of the fashion industry: "KC's development of flexible lithium batteries, for applications in clothing and accessories, opens infinite new possibilities. With Talon's vast network, the use of this innovation can now be rolled out in the entire industry in countless new applications."

In future it will be normal that jackets, handbags, or wallets will re-charge cell phones. We will be used to caps or beanies functioning as earphones, and that outerwear will electrically heat or cool consumers. Silver textiles will decontaminate objects in pockets and protect credit cards, while activated carbon components will absorb odor molecules. People will have loudspeakers in the thumb of their gloves, to answer phone calls without taking them off, and they will open their handbags with biometric fingerprint locks.

The research and development teams of both Talon and KC are thrilled about the next stage in their growth and excited to help change the future.

Talon International:

Their 128-year history provides Talon with unmatched knowledge of the products and innovations required to turn their client's visions into reality.

Talon International, Inc. Introduces its New High Quality Fashion Bonding Division

WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Talon International, Inc. continues its legacy and history as lead innovators, introducing its newest division, "Bonding." With technology suitable for various categories within the apparel industry as well as many other applications: such as outdoor products, automotive and countless other applications. This new product line continues to be aligned with the company's ethos of leading the charge and shifting apparel and other industries towards sustainability, innovation, quality, and premium performance.

Bonding Solution:

Talon International has an existing portfolio of revolutionary products including zippers, trim, stretch technologies, packaging, anti-counterfeit solutions, sustainability and now its latest bonding solutions. With performance, quality and functionality being a core value for their offerings, Talon identified a gap in the market for high-quality adhesive films and high levels of technical support in the field.

Following detailed industry research, speaking with both existing and new clients, product development and testing processes, we are proud to unveil solutions that deliver comfort and performance, and water resistance and seamless applications. The product line features "Flex-It" films, Adhesive films, Overlay films, and Seam Sealing Tapes each with their own unique technologies and functionality.

"Design is in the details; we are dedicated to constant iteration and innovation to provide our existing and prospective clients with products that move the needle in the quality of finished products to create excellent customer experiences," says Larry Dyne, Chief Executive Office at Talon International Inc.

Designed specifically for comfort and performance, the Flex-It films range features a spandex film secured between two adhesive layers for superior elasticity, strength, and durability. Ideal for lingerie and undergarments, active and athleisure, as well as outerwear, there are multiple variations to choose from.

With the move towards the importance of design aesthetics as well as functionality the seamless Adhesive film range was introduced to maintain premium softness, flexibility, and support while providing high-performance throughout the life of the garment.

"With the ability to bond fabrics, waterproofing, creating breathable barriers, and spider web adhesives, the line is perfect for sportswear, athleisure, shapewear, and undergarments," says Abhijeet Majumdar, Director of Bonding at Talon International Inc.

When it comes to innovating apparel for workwear, skiing, hiking, and outerwear, as well as tents, backpacks, and luggage, water resistant Seam Sealing Tape films are one of their latest innovations. With options for 2-layer tapes, 3-layer tapes, colored tapes, and printed tapes, the high-quality adhesive films increase the water-resistant properties, and therefore durability, of seams.

Lastly, to fill a void found within these various applications and use cases Overlay film provides garments with safety, security, and durability against shrinking and stretching over time. With a wide range of colors and options available, the film can be applied to many material variants including zippers, bag flaps, elastic bands, woven and knitted garments for compression and waterproofing.

Completing the Circuit: From Autumn to Winter – partnership season has brought overflowing blessings for the holidays

FLINT, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- Jonathan McKay better known by his social audience as RoarJMcKay, founder of Keeping Tabs Media, dedicates this winter's accomplishments to his grandmother through COVID-19 recovery and daughter Kali McKay as she celebrates her first birthday. Being a strong influence throughout childhood his grandmother instilled strong beliefs in literacy, mathematics, and fashion. As a highly skilled seamstress in Flint, Michigan Lucille McKay showed Jonathan his first sewing machines, patterns, and concepts.

Thanksgiving Project with RPSA x McDonald's

On Nov. 23, 2021, the local campaign began with a volunteer service project assisting McKay's childhood elementary school, Flint Michigan's Richfield Public School Academy, partnered with Richfield Rd. McDonald's in a Thanksgiving Giveaway drive-by program.

Flint has Michigan's highest poverty rate, with its East Side population having a 50% poverty rate, 39% higher than the national average. So McKay teamed up with local community members to unload multiple semi-trucks of food and drink for the school district's families and neighboring areas servicing well over 100 homes in hours.

Style Cruz Cover

Jonathan collaborated in early October with Fir3fly Photography, featured in Moevir Magazine, First Magazine, Edith Magazine, and many more.

This marked the launch of the RoarJMcKay influencer clothing line. The start-up birthed a multi-page placement in MÉNCRUZE Magazine, based in Los Angeles, CA.

MÉNCRUZE Magazine, owned by STYLÉCRUZE Magazine, is the top-ranking Google Search Result for USA Fashion Magazine's keywords, with pieces from exclusive brands including a Giorgio Armani Button-Up (Milan, Italy), Daniel D'Artiste Transitions World Denim (Los Angeles, CA, USA), and GLD Shop Intl. Jewelry. The magazine featured McKay in their Halloween Edition with a self-selected styled wardrobe.

At the Bandy Dental state-of-the-art offices in Holly, MI, McKay opens up about the feelings of being back in the Flint-Metro Area, saying, "Grateful doesn't even describe it, and blessed couldn't even be the half. I want all the kids over on the East Side of Flint to know that anything is possible, and you can manifest your energy to achieve anything you believe!"

STIIIZY Cooperation

Keeping Tabs and RoarJMcKay began an Influencer Marketing partnership with STIIIZY Los Angeles following his October appearance at a VIP exclusive event in Detroit, MI, on Sept. 30. Hosted at the Detroit Bleu Club, Detroit native Tee Grizzly made a headlining performance.

Since being diagnosed with cancer after the historic Flint Water Crisis in 2014, McKay has been prescribed cannabis from medical providers at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.

Additionally, McKay utilized his media platforms to promote STIIIZYs newest release, the White Raspberry OG Pod, released Dec. 3, offered in half and full gram cartridges. As a result, McKay has been presented with a 3-month extension on the arrangement, succeeding the initial 1-month deal.

RoarJMcKay views this as a blessed opportunity to make sure close friend, Brandon Scales' legacy lives on through multimedia expression. Vogue Magazine published Scales as a model in 2020. Friends and family often referred to Scales as "Steezy," making the brand phonetics very personal for McKay

Fein Lives Matter

RoarJMcKay began a promotional campaign highlighting the Fein Lives Matter project by Flint artist Rio Da Yung OG. Since being sentenced to five years in prison, the Fien Lives Matter mixtape was Rio's first release on Dec. 9, 2021.

McKay began sporting the Fien Lives Matter clothing line, displaying the Black FLM hoodie and the Free Rio Varsity Jacket to events, on social media, and in the community of Flint.

The Free The Ghetto Campaign aims to highlight those making a positive difference in the community.

Video: https://youtu.be/fQqPx_0QKds

SoundStripe

Jack Mudd has reached out to RoarJMcKay for a paid promotion campaign for Soundstripe Inc.

Mudd is currently the drummer for the Teen Choice Award-winning band, Emblem3 and has previously opened for major country artists like Kane Brown, Thomas Rhett, and Dierks Bentley, along with a world trending performance on the Today Show.

Soundstripe is a subscription-based royalty-free music library for video creators. If you publish videos online, you need a license to protect you from copyright strikes, takedowns, or worse. Traditionally, obtaining this type of license, known as a sync license, can be complex and expensive. Instead, Soundstripe offers access to thousands of label-quality songs for just $12.50/mth.

Every time you download music from Soundstripe, you get a license that legally protects your work forever - even if you cancel. There are no complicated contracts, no limitations on where you're allowed to publish, straightforward licenses, and excellent music.

Signal Boost

McKay concluded his Winter 2021 campaigns by partnering with Luma Pictures of Los Angeles, CA, and Flint's Shop Floor Theater Company. On December 9, Flint's Capitol Theatre housed the Signal Boost competition and concert in downtown Flint. The competition for emerging artists focused on expressing their vision of a better future through music and poetry.

McKay played a critical role in connecting the event with local businesses to spread awareness of the opportunity in Flint's East Side. During this campaign, McKay directly partnered with community favorites such as but not limited to The Kearsley Corner, Vehicle City Social, and Luigi's Pizzeria.

Signal Boost's panel of judges were Tia Scott, Managing Editor for Flintside; Helluva, a Detroit-based producer; Kiaira May, Interim Executive Director of the Downtown Development Authority; and Charles Winfrey, District 2 Genesee County commissioner. They all provided advice to the young performers.

Mama Sol and Tha N.U.T.S, Jon Connor, and Charity - music industry pioneers and Michigan natives - provided exceptional performances that riled the audience.

With awards totaling over $5,000 to the five finalists, Signal Boost announced at the competition it would equally match the donations to the five non-profit organizations that each finalist represented.

Upcoming

Keeping Tabs picks up steam going into Spring 2022, being offered the opportunity to participate in the InfluenceMe TV Qualification Competition. The contest will raise awareness and funds for the JED Foundation.

Six episodes of the TV series will be filmed showcasing 20 influencers competing to create the best content through their story-telling and creativity on their social platforms.

The final episode will be filmed in a beautiful destination in Europe and the winner will claim their winning title along with a cash prize of $100,000.

The Sound Gallery will be offering a platform for RoarJMcKay at The South by Southwest (SXSW) Film and Music Festival (Mar. 17-20).

Artist's interviews and biography placements will be posted on Hip Hop Since 1987, This is 50, and A Day in LA following the event.

McKay will be pushing the narrative of the Autoworld Brand to new markets. Autoworld Brand can be accessed via their Shop Autoworld website.

Flint Side Newspaper will also be releasing an article from a interview held by Xzavier V. Simon this month.

Share the Excitement of Fashion Week with ‘Meet a Scientologist: George Kalajian’

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- February 11-16 is Fashion Week when the world's top designers present their new collections in New York. The Scientology Network takes viewers behind the scenes of New York's frenetic fashion industry as a master craftsman helps designers solve last-minute dilemmas.

"The last two weeks before fashion week are completely insane," says George Kalajian, the industry's go-to expert for pleating. "We love creative designers - designers who like to push the envelope. But they are always designing in the 11th hour."

Kalajian literally wrote the book on pleating - an art that dates to the Egyptian pharaohs and is used today by some of the world's hottest fashion designers. His roots in the garment industry go back generations, but Kalajian once turned his back on the family business.

His episode of Meet a Scientologist is the story of his turnaround - how Scientology helped him repair a strained relationship with his father and ignite his passion and purpose.

In the process, the quality of his work elevated him into the upper echelons of the fashion industry, with his creations showcased on runways, in film - even in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Meet a Scientologist is an in-depth look into the lives of individual Scientologists from the frontiers of art, business, science, sports, entertainment and more. It is one of eight original series airing on the Scientology Network.

Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige, the Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages. Broadcast from Scientology Media Productions, the Church's global media center in Los Angeles, the Scientology Network is available on DIRECTV Channel 320 and can be streamed on Scientology.tv, on mobile apps, and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.

Want a Sparkling Valentine’s Day? Follow These Six Jewelry Buying Tips

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Whether you are staying at home this Valentine's Day, or plan to have a romantic evening out, the American Gem Society (AGS), a nonprofit association dedicated to consumer protection, has some advice to ensure the jewelry you buy adds extra sparkle to you and your loved one's celebration.

1. Have a general idea of the kind of jewelry you want to buy? If it's a gift, what does the recipient like? Consider the type and color of metal, the gemstone, setting, as well as the type of piece. Would this person want a watch, bracelet, necklace, or ring?

2. Shop with a credentialed, professional jeweler who is a member of an organization with a strict code of business ethics, such as AGS. An ethical and knowledgeable jeweler will share facts about the gemstone in your jewelry, like whether it is enhanced or treated, natural, or a laboratory-created gemstone.

3. Do your research online but visit the store so you can see the piece in person. You might love the way something looks on the screen, but when you see it up close, you may feel differently. Maybe it's the color or sheen of the metal or how the setting looks. Get an up-close look before making a significant purchase.

4. Ask about the return policy. If the gift misses the mark, you'll want to return it!

5. If a discount seems too good to be true, it might be. You've heard of the practice where a retailer inflates a price by a certain percent, then advertises it at a slightly lesser percent? AGS members must adhere to standards of business conduct that strictly prohibit this practice.

6. Buying diamonds? Ask for a diamond grading report from an independent laboratory. A thorough grading report covers all 4Cs-cut, color, clarity, and carat-so that the jewelry buyers know and understand the quality of what they are purchasing. AGS founded AGS Laboratories as a nonprofit diamond grading laboratory that shares its mission of consumer protection. This mission ensures jewelry buyers will receive an unbiased opinion on the quality of their diamonds.

-- Well-cut diamonds sparkle in candlelight or low light. Set the mood with the right lighting and watch the diamond sparkle on your loved one.

This Startup Wants to Get People Talking Again!

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new Arizona company, JabberYak, is on a mission to engage people with common interests using their ice breakers products, including customized T-Shirts, event badges, name tags, and office name plates designed to ignite meaningful, face-to-face communication without relying on personal devices.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting more than 40 million adults*. During the pandemic, about four in ten adults in the U.S. reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder. As things start to open post-pandemic, many people are experiencing even more anxiety when thinking about getting back into a social routine after isolating for so long. (*Citation: see link below.)

One area that is most concerning to people is the socialization that comes with returning to the office or events. Many professionals haven't seen their coworkers in over a year and those that are new to the company will be meeting their peers in person for the first time. When you are in the office, you're expected to connect with new people, and it can be difficult to navigate the flow of conversation.

JabberYak is founded by two Scottsdale-based women. Gail Levinthal is a former event planner who immigrated from South Africa in the 1990s, and Shideh Doerr is an entrepreneur and first generation Persian American. The two women developed JabberYak after seeing how difficult it was for those around them to connect with others, especially in large group settings such as corporate and singles events, holiday parties and even family reunions. While on a cruise with her family, Levinthal noticed how many people stopped to talk to her son because of the college shirt he was wearing. She saw that people were more willing to connect if they had a common interest.

The duo connected with serial entrepreneur and investor, Mack Baniameri and launched the JabberYak products in June 2021.

"The pandemic disrupted our lives in such a way that going back to a pre-covid routine can be intimidating," said Gail Levinthal, co-founder and CEO of JabberYak. "It's natural to feel anxious about the world opening up again, but with the right tools in place, the transition can be smooth and seamless. Knowing the interests of the people around you before the first word is even spoken can ease social anxiety and lead to more quality, meaningful conversations."

JabberYak's platform enables individuals to select their top seven personal interests that give insight into who they are. The selected interests then get printed on customized items that can be worn to work, meetings, events and displayed in the office. JabberYak products ultimately create a fun atmosphere, eases social interaction, build relationships, and improve the level of engagement with conference attendees, co-workers or customers.

JabberYak also offers an analytics dashboard to organizers prior to an event, providing valuable insight into who will be attending.

New men’s luxury brand North Country successfully navigates global supply chain crisis

NEW YORK, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- North Country, a newly launched men's premium clothing brand, today announced that it has successfully skirted global supply chain issues and is poised for a robust Q4 holiday shopping season. North Country's Fall/Winter collection of authentic Portuguese flannel shirts is in-stock and ready-to-ship from New York.

The global supply chain has been backlogged for months, as the world struggles to recover from pandemic-driven supply challenges that have cleared the shelves of major retailers nationwide, cutting off consumer access to cars, computers, exercise equipment, and clothing. This crisis comes at a particularly difficult moment for consumers and retailers alike: the start of the holiday shopping season.

Enter North Country, a clothing brand launched online at https://www.northcountrybrand.com/ in October, 2021 that "showcases specialty fabrics from around the world" and uses "exceptional tailoring to create a unique and timeless experience." Unlike most retailers, North Country has not been slowed by the supply chain crisis. The brand's full collection is currently in-stock.

President Andrew Lerner's new brand is the latest venture from his fourth-generation family apparel business whose founder, Ben Wachter, was the first American to import flannel fabric from Portugal in the 1950s. Lerner credits the brand's ability to navigate supply challenges to the fact that its "shirts are manufactured in Europe, which has been less affected than Asia by supply chain issues."

True to its heritage, North Country's Fall/Winter Collection "redefines the flannel shirt, crafted from the most luxurious Portuguese fabric available and expertly tailored in Portugal." With the launch of North Country, Lerner couples his aptitude for design with manufacturing expertise to produce an exceptional product.

The brand has received notoriety from Instagram fashion influencers like Christian Bendek, Jonas Maier, Blake Scott, and Kamil Nicalek, who tout the "artisan fabric which makes them very special." North Country has also caught the eye of high-end boutiques and ski shops in Aspen, Vail, and Deer Valley, where its luxury collection is on sale for the fashionable apres' ski crowd.

North Country shirts are available in the finest men's stores in the Northeast and online at https://www.northcountrybrand.com/

North Country® is a registered trademark in the U.S.

GIA and AGS Award 2nd Annual Beatrice Shipley Scholarship to Ohio Jeweler

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- The second annual Beatrice Shipley Scholarship - created by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the American Gem Society (AGS) in 2019 - was awarded to Rachel Burazer, a sales associate and custom designer at Argo & Lehne Jewelers, an AGS member store in Columbus, Ohio.

The scholarship will cover complete tuition for the GIA Graduate Gemologist on-campus or distance program in Carlsbad, California, along with the costs of the AGS Way Course and entry to the 2021 AGS Conclave event in Dallas, Texas, September 12-14.

AGS and GIA jointly established the Beatrice Shipley Scholarship, which was announced by Susan Jacques, GIA president and chief executive officer, at the 2019 Conclave. AGS administered the application process and awarded the scholarship.

"AGS would like to thank GIA for their ongoing commitment to AGS and for partnering on this scholarship. Beatrice Shipley, along with her husband, changed the course of the jewelry industry," said Katherine Bodoh, CEO of the American Gem Society and AGS Laboratories. "We are so pleased to award Rachel with this scholarship. She is passionate about the jewelry industry, bettering herself, and serving her customers. I know this opportunity will propel her career forward."

"Beatrice Shipley was a trailblazing businesswoman who believed in and helped establish GIA and AGS and our shared mission to protect consumers. At the core of this mission is educating the next generation of jewelers, and we are honored to do this together with AGS, our sibling organization," said Susan Jacques, GIA president and CEO. "Congratulations to Rachel Burazer! I look forward to her continued success as a GIA alumni and member of AGS."

"Earning this award demonstrates that patience, determination, and loving what you do can get you anywhere in life," said Ms. Burazer. "I am so grateful to have this help to advance in my career and invest in my future. What an honor it is to represent my company and Beatrice Shipley! Thank you."

Born in Northeast Ohio, Rachel moved to Chicago, where she obtained her Bachelor's Degree in Fashion Design. After working in the food and beverage industry and at Bloomingdale's, Rachel realized that she needed to combine her hospitality experience with a more refined retail environment. She first worked at an AGS member store, Steve Quick Jeweler, where she was given the knowledge and trust to accelerate on her own. With that experience and success, the transition to Argo & Lehne was smooth. Currently, Rachel acts as a mentor to her colleagues, a liaison with many vendors, and an employee trusted by the customers.

Both GIA and AGS were founded in the 1930s when Robert and Beatrice Shipley cashed in their savings to create two organizations with the goal of educating jewelers, professionalizing the industry, and creating a guild for these jewelers to join.

About the American Gem Society

The American Gem Society (AGS), founded in 1934 by Robert M. Shipley, is a nonprofit trade association dedicated to promoting a high standard of ethics, continuous education, and consumer protection within the jewelry industry. AGS awards credentials for its members, who are held to the highest ethical and professional standards in the industry and must pass annual recertification examinations to maintain their titles.

About GIA

An independent nonprofit organization, GIA (Gemological Institute of America), established in 1931, is recognized as the world's foremost authority in gemology. GIA invented the famous 4Cs of Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight in the early 1950s and in 1953, created the International Diamond Grading System™ which, today, is recognized by virtually every professional jeweler in the world.

Through research, education, gemological laboratory services, and instrument development, the Institute is dedicated to ensuring the public trust in gems and jewelry by upholding the highest standards of integrity, academics, science, and professionalism.

"We believe in innovation and technology, and we use patents to protect our intellectual property," says Larry Dyne, CEO of Talon International.

With constant innovation in the fashion world, the Adjustec Bandroll provides the level of performance desired by buyers everywhere without sacrificing design and style.

Zootility Introduces Vaccinated Tags – Simplifying Compliance with New CDC Guidelines

PORTLAND, Maine /ScoopCloud/ -- Zootility, a design-driven US manufacturing company, announced the launch of wearable Vaccinated Tags, in response to the U.S. officials easing face mask guidance for COVID-19 vaccinated people.

The bar shaped pendants have a bold, easily readable "Vaccinated" message that allows others to be aware of the individual's vaccination status. The subtle size and minimalist style make it versatile and easy to wear, yet instantly recognizable. The pendants are made from 3mm sheets of stainless steel or solid brass, materials that are easy to care for and are durable.

This distinctive jewelry is laser cut in small batches and demonstrates the attention to detail and uniqueness of the product. Being a made-in-USA product, it supports jobs locally, assures quality, and ensures confidence in timely fulfillment.

"The most recent CDC guidelines lifted the outdoor mask-wearing mandate, both in recognition of the lower risk and to provide an incentive to get shots. With vaccinated people not needing to wear masks outdoors when knowing the vaccination status of others, social interactions in public or with friends, neighbors, coworkers, or classmates may create a lot of questions regarding vaccination status. With global vaccination efforts continuing to be strong, but with many still hesitant, we thought this jewelry would help start, or even avoid, potentially awkward conversations," says Nate Barr, Founder of Zootility.

Visit Zootility's website at http://vaccinatedtag.com/ to order a vaccinated tag or pendant for yourself or gift it to a loved one.

Zootility designs, launches, and manufactures exciting functional everyday products that solve interesting problems, using clever solutions, quality materials, and futuristic technology. For more information on Zootility, please visit http://www.zootility.com/.

JewelryBund.com Continues to Make the Mark on Excellent, Decade-long Wholesale Jewelry Service to Fashion and Jewelry Boutique Owners Worldwide

EMERYVILLE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- After more than ten years of success, JewelryBund Inc. continues to become one of the biggest professional fashion and jewelry manufacturing and wholesaling business. In its service to the wholesale jewelry industry, the company shows distinct leadership to the brand with JewelryBund's customer-oriented mindset that gained the trust of over 600,000 customers across 200 countries.

Founded in 2008, JewelryBund Inc. revolutionized the business of providing top-quality jewelry and accessories for the sole purpose of reselling. Starting a jewelry business has its challenges, especially when it comes to securing the products. The traditional approach to negotiating with manufacturers is to physically shop for the items. Retailers and business owners never had the luxury to solely buy their stocks online due to the fear of having an inventory that wasn't evaluated properly.

Bigger online platforms like Etsy and Faire have been bridging the gap between manufacturers and resellers. Their online marketplaces revolve around the business strategy that lets individual sellers post their own listings for their clients to see. Both of these platforms, like other online marketplaces, thrive on having as many sellers post as many products as possible. This strategy allows the platforms to have a wide range of items in their catalogs.

However, buying on these platforms means dealing with thousands of different sellers who are also communicating with their own manufacturers just to fulfill the order. The look behind the scenes will tell you that in most cases, these indirect purchases lead to a higher procurement cost with a time-consuming and inconsistent service level experience.

That is where JewelryBund effectively changes the scene of manufacturing and wholesaling. Through JewelryBund, their customers were able to browse, order, and receive items in bulk from direct factory sources without the need to travel back and forth for negotiations with resellers. All items that are sold on the company's website are owned and produced by JewelryBund which made quality-control more efficient and effective. Jewelry resellers can buy all demanded jewelry items at one-stop without worrying about the potential troublesome multi-rounds negotiations with many sellers.

By having self-owned products, JewelryBund takes full guarantee in providing fashion and jewelry items of high-quality catered for reselling. Consistency is highly regarded in the products which makes it suitable for rebranding and reselling. Even without physical evaluation of clients, the quality stays the same.

Over the past ten years, JewelryBund operates three jewelry and accessories factories in China, making the company well-equipped for handling large-scale orders at the lowest costs possible. With such a customer-oriented goal, JewelryBund became one of the leading one-stop sources for all kinds of jewelry products.

In an incredibly competitive market, JewelryBund understands the importance of being first in the fashion trends so their clients can also be the leading jewelry shops and boutiques. Every piece curated under JewelryBund is backed by careful market and customer research to pinpoint all the fashion needs and wants when it comes to Western and Eastern jewelry trends.

The product catalogs under JewelryBund refresh daily to stay true to that goal. Designs are constantly added to capture the newest trends of the market while the old ones are phased out to make sure that every piece of an item bought by the clients is market-competitive and worthy of selling.

Aside from having the best products at the market with the best prices possible, JewelryBund is also highly coveted due to the company's track record of holding steady relationships with the clients. JewelryBund helps its clients embrace the success of jewelry reselling by having professional clients' service support available at all times through their live chat, email, and official community pages.

In addition to that, the company goes beyond the basic means of customer support. JewelryBund also offers business supporting services for would-be entrepreneurs planning to start their own online jewelry business on eBay and Amazon. Despite being a large company, JewelryBund places high importance on every start-up business of every size and provides every support manageable in order to secure their client's success.

As stated by JewelryBund vice president - Cynthia Wong, "We take customers' satisfaction as the first priority because we consider our clients as our business partners who will grow up with us for doing jewelry sales business. We win trusts and maintain long-term business relationship for a bilateral success."

All the heartfelt efforts of JewelryBund certainly paid their due. The company, along with its clientele, continues to grow after such a strong decade. With their belief in "One World, One Jewelry Wholesale Price", JewelryBund continues to push the boundaries to be the leading manufacturer and wholesaler of refined, quality products.

The company's senior business development manager, William Lee added, "Our world-class customer service will guide start-up jewelry businesses all the way to become profitable with rapid business expansions and developments and offer valuable resales experience."

Finesse Gods Clothing Company: New Streetwear Brand Launches Black Friday

DETROIT, Mich. /ScoopCloud/ -- The entrepreneurs behind a new clothing company wanted to go big at the end of a landmark year by launching their new streetwear brand on one of the world's biggest shopping days. Finesse Gods Clothing Company will introduce their new line of Finesse Empowerment Collection edgy and bundled winter gear designs on Black Friday, which falls on Friday, November 27 this year.

With their 2020 Black Friday launch, Finesse Gods will run giveaways throughout the day for subscribers and customers as a way to show appreciation for their support.

The Michigan-based clothing company's introductory collection is "Finesse On Ice." The line features a variety of jackets and hats for men and boys.

Finesse Gods Clothing Company's founders Serae Combs and Eugene Reid wanted to create a new streetwear brand drawing inspiration from the 2020 uprising against systemic oppression and inequality experienced by communities across America.

"Exploring your highest nature and owning what you find, paves your path to being the greatest version of yourself," Combs said. "To finesse in this world is a craft to align the elements around you to give yourself the life you deserve. To see yourself in the light of a God or Goddess, you are claiming your stance in the universe.

"To be a 'Finesse God,' you apply a limitless effort to mold the opportunities around you to conquer your dreams. As fashion is an instant language, your style is an amour to survive everyday reality."

Combs added, "WE ARE Finesse Gods. Our rich brand of men's and boys' fashion won't go unnoticed."

Over the last several months, the Finesse Gods brand has been building momentum on social media as more top influencers embrace the company's cutting-edge t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and other apparel.

Combs and Reid hope their Black Friday push will provide an exciting way for streetwear fans to embrace their growing brand.

"We are excited to get the word out about what we stand for while fitting people with fresh FG merch they can be proud to wear as an emblem of strength and optimism after a hard year," Combs said. "Our launch represents new beginnings for everyone in 2021 and beyond. We can't wait to lead the way to our new era of hope."

Bella Zuniga and Luiz Gohara Announce the Birth of Their Baby Girl

PHOENIX, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Colombian model, Bella Zuniga, and her partner, Luiz Gohara, a Brazilian baseball player, are excited to announce the birth of their healthy baby girl, Emilia. She was born in Arizona on July 23 and is the couple's first child together. The name, Emilia, was chosen by the couple to honor Zuniga's grandmother.

"We are over the moon in love with her," Zuniga and Gohara share.

The couple plan to raise Emilia in the United States and are dedicating their time to taking care of her. Zuniga plans to return to her modeling job after a while and Gohara plans to find a new baseball team to play for in the future when things settle down.

During pregnancy, the couple decided they did not want to know the sex of their baby. They preferred it be a surprise.

"And, it was a wonderful surprise," Zuniga says. "I've always wanted a daughter and I can't wait for us to do fun things together. It feels so surreal to be a mom and I'm excited about this new stage of my life."

With an extensive social media presence, the duo will document their family's developments and adventures for their followers.

Zuniga documented her pregnancy to her fanbase and announced the birth of her baby on Instagram with an adorable post of Emilia sleeping, captioned: "Welcome to the world my little princess." The post received a positive reaction from followers, with fans congratulating the couple on their new baby.

"It's Bella's Life" is Zuniga's YouTube channel. She regularly posts makeup content and family vlogs so viewers can get a glimpse into her life. On September 17, she posted a vlog at Wildlife World Zoo, showcasing precious footage of Emilia watching the animals.

Zuniga and Gohara began their relationship back in 2018 while Gohara was playing for the Atlanta Braves. They have been together ever since and look forward to a bright future together raising their new daughter.

Fall Trends to Transition into Winter

LAS VEGAS, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Jewelry lovers, the American Gem Society has a message for you: this is your season. This fall, some of the most stand-out fine jewelry you will see comes from members of the American Gem Society, a community of jewelry professionals dedicated to protecting the jewelry-buying public through a high standard of ethics and ongoing education.

According to Katherine Bodoh, CEO of the American Gem Society and AGS Laboratories, these five fine jewelry trends will provide the added detail you need this season to complete your ensemble. These pieces are also instant classics that can easily transition to winter, spring, and beyond. Be Zoom ready with any of these trends.

Medallions: this summer favorite is not slowing down. You can wear medallions alone or layer them or go bold and dazzle with medallion earrings and bracelets. Medallions stun in gold, but silver tones also make an unforgettable impression.

Restored Jewelry: do you need a jewelry makeover? Your local American Gem Society jeweler can work wonders on heirloom jewelry. Diamonds and gemstones can be removed from a ring or any piece of outdated or worn/well-loved jewelry and transferred to a modern piece of wearable art for your ears, neck, wrist, or fingers. If you can think it, they can most likely create it. A number of AGS designers also update older pieces by using recycled diamonds, other precious gemstones, charms, and much more to create contemporary designs.

Big Links, Long Chains: an extra-long chain is sophisticated and helps complete a look, especially one with higher necklines. Plus, let's face it: it also means no fiddling with a finicky clasp. This fall's styles feature big links for a bold statement, an homage to eighties jewelry. Slip it over your head, wear some diamond stud earrings, add a classic watch, and you are good to go. Or go short: choker-style chain necklaces in a high-polished metal provides an edgy yet glamorous look.

Pearls: the popularity of this organic gem endures. Staying with the big links trend, pair a chunky link with a drop pearl and you have a showstopper. Or, layer long strands of pearls with a couple of silver or gold link necklaces for a style that says there is nothing wrong with a wrist party!

Bright Colors. If you are a fan of seventies jewelry, the jewelry gods have smiled upon you. This season, think jewelry painted in enamel or treated in bright hues of red, blue, green, and yellow. Brighten up a dark outfit or enliven your mood on a rainy autumn day. If you plan to invest in one accessory this year...this is it!

KINONA launches Queen of the Green, a unique VIP Program designed to inspire and uplift

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Queen of the Green, a VIP program developed by women's golf fashion brand KINONA, aims to reward loyal customers while giving back to women-led causes.

Women's fashion trailblazer KINONA started from humble beginnings. Dianne Celuch and Tami Fujii were used to being the only women golfers at corporate events. But they didn't want to dress like the men they saw on the green, and together dreamed up a women's golf fashion brand that featured chic patterns, sustainable materials, and comfortable fits.

Developing their VIP program, Queen of the Green, was a lifelong dream for the brand. It intersected with their passion for supporting causes that uplift and inspire women in their communities and around the world. And as the women's golf community has supported them, Fujii and Celuch are ready to start supporting their community.

"We don't just want to give customers points," said Fujii. "We want to wow them. We want to honor them. We want them to feel like the Queens they are."

The program features a points system where customers earn 1 point for every $1 they spend during the calendar year. Shoppers qualify after reaching 800 points, and rewards include exclusive events, early access to new releases, and the opportunity to direct a $100 donation to a non-profit organization that helps women achieve more in sports and in life.

"We're proud to bring women together and do something great for the community at the same time," explained Celuch.

About KINONA

Founded in 2017, KINONA brings a modern style, flattering styles and comfort to the game of golf. We're a team of women working to re-define the paradigm of "appropriate golf attire," reinvent the purchasing process, and look good both on and off the green.
