Step into my backyard office pod When I was young, I was fascinated by "Growing Pains" dad Jason Seaver’s work-at-home setup. I loved that in between appointments with patients in his home office, the good doctor could pop into the family kitchen and hang with Mike, Carol, Ben and the gang while mom Maggie was out working as a reporter. What could be better, right? Now, as an adult who primarily works from home with the exception of meetings, events, and occasional respite at a local coffee shop, the work-where-you-live concept that I found so novel in "Growing Pains" has, well, worn off a bit. That's not to say I'm unhappy (and I certainly enjoy my current, zero-impact non-commute) but sometimes things get a touch claustrophobic. Designed and built in the UK, the Archipod was conceived with Mother Nature in mind — the company was founded out of “frustration at the commuting lifestyle, with its attendant road congestion, air and noise pollution, road rage, running costs and time loss.”
lunaandhill At L+H we are very proud of our denim collection and we couldn’t be happier to add Levi’s Vintage Clothing and Levi’s Made & Crafted to the shelf among our other rad lines Nudie Jeans, Naked and Famous, Unbranded, Mother Denim, and United. Levi Strauss & Co. or simply Levi’s was founded in 1853 when Levi Strauss came from Buttenheim, Bavaria, to San Francisco, California to open a west coast branch of his brothers’ New York dry goods business. In 1873, Levi Strauss and tailor Jacob Davis received a U.S. patent to make the first riveted men’s work pants out of denim: the first blue jeans were born! It is hard to believe that Levi’s iconic riveted denim jean was introduced over a century ago. Levi’s Vintage Clothing reproduces each of the most historically significant 501 jeans from the past 122 years exactly as they were when they were first introduced. Luna + Hill is very proud to introduce the 1947 501s to the shelf.
