The latest release from Norqain features a brand-new three-hand timepiece co-designed by wildlife ambassador, Dean Schneider. Unveiled as a special model with a limited run of 300 units, the Wild ONE Hakuna Mipaka draws aesthetic cues from the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis, a wildlife sanctuary and animal rehabilitation center that Schneider has set up in South Africa.

The 42mm reference is attired in a 25-part case composed of cruelty-free NORTEQ® — an exclusive carbon fiber composite that is robust, shock-resistant, and ultra-lightweight. The rich, dark brown hue extends from the sandwich case to the dial, where a stamped “lion fur” pattern enriches its design. In echoing the textured dial, the accompanying beige rubber strap also features the same allover pattern.

Red gold-plated diamond-cut hands and skeleton indices further embellish the dial, thus nodding to the majestic appeal of King Dexter, a lion that resides in the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis. As an interesting highlight, the watch’s rubber shock absorber is infused with sand from the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis, adding a piece of South Africa to the timekeeper.

Beating at the heart of this timekeeper is the NN2-/1 by Kenissi Manufacture caliber. The mechanical automatic movement is geared with 70 hours of power reserve, with a personalized bridge inscribed “Adventure – Freedom – Independence” — the core values and brand ethos of Norquain. The caliber is viewable through the open caseback, which also features a golden logo imprint, along with its unique batch number.

Norqain also promised to donate 10% of the watch’s earnings to the Hakuna Mipaka Oasis. Retailing for $5,590 USD, the Wild ONE Hakuna Mipaka limited-edition timepiece is now available to purchase via Norqain’s official website.

SnugPall, Top Rated Sherpa Blanket in the USA

Each blanket is crafted from high-quality fleece

VARENNES, QUEBEC, CANADA, September 14, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — SnugPall, the “cozy blanket” brand making a name for itself in households across North America, is on a mission to bring awareness and adoption of cruelty-free blanket options to more shoppers this holiday season with a newly announced Bundle & Save program. The initiative aims to make the brand’s top-rated sherpa blankets more accessible to everyone during prime gift-giving months, offering the brand promise of “the warmest, softest, coziest, and snuggliest blanket you will ever get,” with the added benefit of being an animal-safe option.

Featuring a “cloud-like” vegan fleece on the inner side and flannel fleece with colorful graphics on the outer side, SnugPall has strived to make their blankets the embodiment of luxury, according to the family-run e-commerce store. Measuring 60″ x 70″, SnugPall’s vegan sherpa blankets are estimated to be large enough to accommodate a family of four for activities like snuggling by the fire or enjoying holiday movies together on the couch.

“What sets SnugPall apart is our unwavering commitment to quality,” said a representative from the brand. “As a family-run business, we only source the highest quality, completely cruelty-free sherpa, made from the latest ultra-soft polyester, so you and your family can enjoy unparalleled comfort with a clear conscience.”

While poorly constructed sherpa blankets can lead to matting or peeling, SnugPall’s “highest quality guarantee” ensures a SnugPall snuggle blanket will last for years. The brand also offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee with free shipping and returns for US customers.

Shera blankets, also referred to as faux shearling, offer a number of benefits for kids and families, including:

● A moisture wicking effect
● The ability to hold warmth, making it a viable comforter alternative
● Ultra-soft touch polyester
● Better affordability vs. wool
● 100% cruelty-free production

For those looking to share the coziness with loved ones this holiday season, SnugPall’s new Bundle & Save program offers cost savings with the purchase of 2 or 3 blanket bundles.

“Our goal is to make it easier than ever to spread warmth and joy during the holiday season. What better way to spread the message about the undeniable comfort of vegan sherpa than getting it in the hands of more folks to experience for themselves.” add a brand rep.

While SnugPall is for both adults and kids, the brand designed the blankets specifically with kids in mind. Design options include brightly colored heart, cat, and dog patterns in blue or pink.

To care for a SnugPall, the brand recommends hand-washing for ultimate durability, but gently machine washing in cold water using mild detergents will also be well-tolerated by the material.

Amid one of the biggest fashion events of the year—2023 New York Fashion Week—PETA supporters showed the fashion industry what a nonvegan catwalk really looks like.

PETA’s protestor shook up Coach’s runway wearing nothing but body paint revealing realistic-looking “flesh”, “tendons”, and “muscles” and a message on her chest that read, “Coach: Leather Kills.” The show-stopping performance turned heads, reminding passersby that leather is stolen from sensitive cows who don’t deserve to be killed for accessories.

At slaughterhouses, workers in the leather industry may skin and dismember the animals while they’re still conscious—after they have already endured castration, tail-docking, or dehorning, all without any painkillers. A PETA exposéof the world’s largest leather processor—which has supplied Coach—showed that workers brand calves on the face, beat cows and bulls, and shock them with electric prods.

After the Michael Kors fashion show,  PETA supporters confronted Michael Kors himself, crashing the after party holding signs that read, “Michael Kors: Angora is Torture!” The demonstration caused such a disruption that one protester was carried out by security.

Nine out of 10 Gen Z consumers—who, together with millennials, boast $352 billion in spending power—say that companies should show environmental and social consciousness in their business practices. Forward-thinking companies are meeting the growing demand for sustainable, animal-friendly products by offering vegan leather options made from pineapples, mushrooms, apples, and cacti.

Here’s How YOU Can Help Animals During Fashion Week

Following pressure from PETA, Coach, Michael Kors, and dozens of other brands have banned fur—now, it’s time for them to embrace entirely cruelty-free collections. YOU can help us push animal-friendly fashion during fashion week by flooding brands’ comment sections on Instagram, Facebook, and X (formerly Twitter), and demanding that they stop exploiting our fellow animals for clothing and accessories.
