Look What I found

It seems like whenever we have an esale we uncover some rare odds and ends. I found these old pin buttons that were given free with every Tree-cycle bag at the original release at The Laguna Art Museum.

I only found one set and I'm giving them away for free to the first person to leave a comment, but you have to be a blog follower so I can contact you. If you're not a follower yet, just click on the link in the column on the right.

Cyber Monday

Don't forget to check out our Cyber Monday sale for some great deals.

Enjoy.

Water Bobble

Paul just gave me one of these for my birthday and I absolutely love it.

You put Tap water in and get filtered water out. It's good for up to 300 refills. Just think of all that plastic you'll be saving from the landfills. Another added feature is that it's made in the USA.

Black Friday

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I headed over to the Santa Ana store at 5am this morning. I didn't expect to see anybody out in the cold... But there were a few die-hard HARVEYS shoppers

The first 10 got a free HARVEYS camping chair.

New Item Feature: Classic Wallet!

For the holiday 2011 collection of Harveys Original Seatbeltbags, we really wanted to offer some exciting new accessories!

Our latest accessory silhouette is our Classic Wallet!

Our Classic Wallet was inspired by you and from all the direct feedback we receive from our customers & Harveys fans!

To give you a better look at its size in comparison to our Full Wallet and Clutch Wallet, the Classic Wallet is the Scarlet colored Seatbelt wallet in the center below...

Here's what the inside of the Classic Wallet looks like. It easily fits 6 cards, your ID, cash, coins & even has room for a few keys and a slim smartphone!

For another look at the size, here's our Scarlet Classic Wallet with our Boxy in Sterling on Brittany, our Store Manager from Harveys Chino Hills! What a perfect holiday combo!

The Classic Wallet is available online and in-store now! We know we've recently sold out of our Amethyst Wallets; please feel free to contact our retail stores directly! We hope to be sending them more soon and they can add you to their waiting lists!

Behind the Seatbeltbags - Studly

...On this Seatbeltblog edition of Behind the Seatbeltbags, meet Studly!

We've been toying with stud applique for quite some time now and while experimenting with using our Harveys engraved protective metal feet on our Seatbeltdog collection, we realized that we could also use them on other parts of a Seatbeltbag silhouette! We made a sample that we later offered as an auction item and everyone really liked it so we decided to turn it into a fun collection for all of you!

I decided to bring it out in the baguette for the holiday season but Melanie thought it would be great to offer a new silhouette so we modeled our Studly Satchel after the Lola Satchel silhouette. Instead of dainty ruffles, we pumped up the volume and added 6 rows of studs!

Melanie about died, she loved it to much! She used the sample for several weeks and fell in love with it even more so we knew we had to make them for all of you!

Each Stud on Studly Seatbeltbags is lovingly applied by hand and with our very own custom-built heavy-duty rivet machine!

Studly Seatbeltbags take extra care and time to produce. It takes time to look this good!

The Studly Satchel comes with an adjustable strap so this silhouette has a cross-body option!

...but it also looks great on the forearm!

Our Studly Baguette is the perfect size to tote over the shoulder at a stylish holiday soiree!

We even added a fun Studly Cuff to the collection because we couldn't resist and were having too much fun with the studs!

We hope everyone is enjoying our holiday 2011 collection of Harveys Original Seatbeltbags!

...Until the next Seatbeltblog edition of Behind the Seatbeltbags; have a great weekend, everyone!

First Friday November 2011

We are so excited for Holiday 2011. We've been anticipating it's launch for... well a YEAR now (we work 1 year in advanced on all seasonal collections).

So, without further ado... drum roll please...

Don't forget to check out Melanie's video. She's pretty awesome... but I'm kinda biased ;)

Happy Holidays!
