Pajar's mission is to create the best possible performance fashion boot with the highest standards in the industry. From European royalty to Paris Hilton to the everyday streets in America, Pajar boots are well-known.

Pajar's Grip boot provides superior protection and keeps you sharp-looking. The tall boot features a weatherproof fabric upper with a lace-up shaft. A toggled closure at the collar and genuine shearling lining make for a comfortably warm and snug fit, while the rubber outsole provides flexibility and protective traction.

De Strandhanddoek has put together the perfect blend of 100% cotton towelling with 100% cotton Kikoy which together is 100% cool and 100% all you will need on the beach.

Unique Kenyan beach towels are named Kikoy towels. Kikoys are 100% cotton Kenyan sarongs with vibrant colors finished with hand knotted fringes, widely used as sarong wraps, beach wraps and throws. De Strandhanddoek goes one step further with a towel lining added to one side of the sarong, therefore it can be used as a sarong wrap and as a towel. 

The classic Kikoy, is a rectangular piece of cloth about 66" by 40" in size with traditionally hand knotted ends and made from 100% pure cotton. The yarn is dyed with eco-certified dye which ensures fastness and high quality. The fabric’s uniqueness is its vibrancy and the coloured distinct parallel lines.

Presenting in showroom: Paul Frank

From the high tide to high society, Shane Baum of Baumvision and Leisure Society clearly knows how to see the world through some pretty fantastic eyewear. Born in small-town Iowa to an artistic choreographer mother and a jet-setting salesman father, Baum had his sights on the good life before he even realized what it was. When the time came, he left Iowa to attend San Jose State and majored in engineering. Upon completing school, he went onto Southern California to pursue one of his favorite pastimes, surfing. Unbeknownst to him, this is where his eyewear company Baumvision would ultimately be born. While on Laguna Beach, he met Mossimo Gianulli, founder of the Mossimo brand, and secured a position in the company’s warehouse. Within five years, at age 26, Baum had gone from warehouse laborer to the vice president of the brand’s then $3 million eyewear division. 

After his successful transition into the world of eyewear, Baum established Baumvision and began producing for some heavy hitters in the industry, starting with Paul Frank. Others included MOSCOT, Modern Amusement and Marc Jacobs for both his own collection and Louis Vuitton. According to Baum: “at the end of the day, design is just an opinion and everyone has one. To be a true designer you have to be able to articulate your opinion through a medium, be it a pencil, lump of charcoal or a computer screen. The key is to be honest with yourself and make the appropriate decisions."
