Baubax, già soprannominata “il coltellino svizzero delle giacche” ha raccolto tramite il crowd-funding (via web 2,5 milioni di dollari. Ma cos’ha di speciale questa giacca che fa impazzire il web e che probabilmente sarà il must del prossimo inverno?

Si tratta di una giacca che è molto più di un capo d’abbigliamento: dotata di 15 tasche in grado di portare tutto quello che può occorrere a un viaggiatore, da un iPad a una lattina, dagli occhiali da sole al passaporto, agli immancabili auricolari. Il giubbotto presenta inoltre degli elementi rimovibili che lo rendono adattabile a qualsiasi situazione e look e gadget imperdibili per i travel-addicted come il cuscino portatile al posto del cappuccio.

PIC FROM BAUBAX / CATERS NEWS - (Pictured: The jacket has fifteen pockets and features - and is being hailed as a Swiss Army Jacket.) A jacket which aims to balance comfort and utility has raised over 2.5million USD to become the most popular fashion item in crowd-funding history. The Baubax jacket, nicknamed the Swiss Army knife of jackets, was conceived after its inventor became fed up of long commutes when he was unable to carry all of his essentials. Hiral Sanghavi, 29, from Chicago, was so frustrated at the eight hour flights and layovers, that he decided to design a selection of clothing that could accommodate a travellers most common woes. Hiral, who is completing an MBA to the Kellogg School of Management, teamed up with Yoganshi Shah, 29, from San Francisco, to create a jacket with 15 pockets and capable of transporting everything from an iPad to an open drink can. It even comes with its own pen-stylus combination. Hiral said: There are a lot of features that we wanted to include on the jacket, but the built in neck pillow is one of the primary ones.

A progettarla è stato Hiral Sanghavi, 29enne di Chicago abituato ailunghi spostamenti in aereo, in cui ogni volta si trovava a corto di qualcosa di indispensabile. Il web è impazzito per questa giacca e ora anche grazie alla grande somma raccolta con il crowdfounfing il suo inventore spera di poterla perfezionare e mettere in commercio per il prossimo inverno… Non so voi, ma io mi prenoto!

Fashion, social e biberon. Valentina è una di quelle mamme che sui tacchi continuano davvero a viverci, incuranti della scomodità ed appoggiandosi al passeggino per non cadere: che siano tacchi veri o metaforici (avete presente cosa significhi avere tre figlie piccole, un lavoro da social media strategist e una grande famiglia allargata?). La vita va vissuta in ogni suo aspetto e difficoltà... Ma tanto vale farlo da un bel tacco 12!
