Steampunk Gothic Goggles, Cone Spikes in the Fashion Industry

Hello from Gothic Punk Specialty Hardware,

The news for this entry involves a new pair of goggles added to the catalog. We have attempted to make a contribution to the vast field of Steampunk accessories with our line of "Steampunk Gothic Accessories". The idea is to combine some of the elements of steampunk stuff, like the brass and copper metals, and burgundy leather, with elements of the more streamlined gothic aesthetic to create a kind of synthesis of the two. This line includes a belt, a full forearm leather lace up cuff, and now a pair of goggles. Behold ,Steampunk Gothic Goggles
These goggles are machined from Solid Copper, and feature a classic Gothic Trefoil design on the grille of the lenses. The back of the goggles are lined with high quality, stitched leather to create a comfortable fit against the face. The straps and nose bridge are also made of high quality leather, and the strap closes with a metal buckle. The lenses are dark grey acrylic. We should be adding a pair with burgundy leather soon, as well as a monocle version.

In other news, its been a big month for the 5" cone spike, and for run ins with the fashion industry. Cushnie et Ochs, a New York Runway Fashion House, ordered some of our 2" stainless steel cone spikes to use on shoes I belive. That should be exciting to see. And Angels Carying Savage Weapons in the UK ordered some of the 5" cone spikes to use in a fashion show. We actually made them to begin with as a customer request, and a sizable order of them is on its way to that customer in LA at the moment though Im not sure what they are going to be used for. The 5" cone spikes have been popular in general since we added them to the catalog I think because they are one of the largest spikes available at the moment.

As far as Gothic Punk Specialty Hardware items being available in a store near you, you have to live in Albuquerque for that to be the case at the moment. Cellar Door Gifts by the university is opening October 2nd I believe, and we have a few items in there. Nan at Free Radicals is also going to carry a few of our items, so that is great. We really do want to wholesale, so if you would like to put some of our belts or something in your store -please get in touch.

I think thats about it at the moment,
thanks as always for your interest in Gothic Punk Specialty Hardware - Ben C - Owner/Designer
