Dovetail Travel in Peace Announces the Launch of 'Travel Safe Body Bands' for Women Travelers

Alex Ivory is the founder of Dovetail travel in peace and a world traveler. Ivory has been living, working and traveling abroad for over two decades, working mostly as a Business Trainer and on various entrepreneurial projects. During that time there were only a handful of potentially dangerous situations, but most travelers have a 'sixth sense' about when to take extra precautions. She had her 'moment of knowing' while traveling in South America last year. Ivory took the traditional money belt and 're imagined' it into an ultralight, modern, minimal system of 'travel safe body bands', made exclusively for women travelers. It was a perfect dovetailing in terms of truth and experience for Ivory, and a most practical project with the focus being on keeping women and their travel essentials safe.

'It had to be streamlined and effortless, with form following function and disguised as inner wear' says Ivory. She then ventured out to design prototypes and developed two distinct options for women travelers; the 'travel band' and the 'travel wing'. The 'travel band' is a long, stretch band which wraps around the hips and features a long inner pocket for the portfolio. The 'travel band' is worn over the underwear. The other option is a more inventive, the 'travel wing' wraps around the upper body and features a back pocket which holds the portfolio. The 'travel wing' is worn over the bra.

The Dovetail travel in peace 'travel safe bod women's jackets y band' set includes; the 'travel band', the 'travel wing', the portfolio for travel documents; the passport or a copy of the passport, bank cards and extra cash as well as a small, carry bag.

'Travel with confidence, knowing that travel essentials are secure, concealed on the body', says Ivory. Choose which travel safe option to use and when. 'Be organized', says Ivory, 'Only access the portfolio in private'.

The Dovetail travel in peace, 'travel safe body bands' are made of strong, semi sheer, stretch power net and move on the body, hidden under the clothes.

Enjoy time exploring, not fretting about travel essentials.

From Nantucket to Namibia, Montana to Mazatlan, Galway to the Galapagos

KKCL (KILLER JEANS), the Largest Denim Brand in India, Installs TUKAsystems

Tukatech and Killer Jeans finalized a deal that will provide software solutions to Kewal Kiran Clothing Limited (KKCL), one of India's leading producers of high-quality branded clothing for men and women of all ages.
In 1989, KKCL developed the Killer line of denim which quickly became one of the most popular brands in India. Since then, the company has implemented cutting edge garment design and manufacturing technology to maintain their dominance in the worldwide apparel marketplace. KKCL has also established a large retail presence selling their brands directly to the consumer, and currently operates more than 240 outlets across India with plans for further expansion.

KKCL's decision to install Tukatech's TUKAcad and TUKA3D for fit development is part of their continued use of innovative technology.

KKCL credits much of their success to their large and efficient manufacturing processes. With an enormous capacity that can accommodate sourcing, finishing, and everything in between, KKCL's ability to produce high quality garments with quick turnarounds will be streamlined by using Tukatech's products. TUKAcad, Tukatech's award-winning CAD system, will allow each pattern maker to make and grade patterns with better accuracy in a shorter amount of time, and SMARTmark will allow marker makers to maximize fabric usage in the cutting room.

By adopting TUKA3D, KKCL will be able to create realistic 3D prototypes that demonstrate color, texture, fit, and movement in complex clothing patterns, reducing the new product development time and allowing them to be more innovative and offer more choices to their consumers.

The Killer brand is one of the most recognized brands in India, and KKCL has been very successful in developing other brands and product lines such as LAWMAN, INTEGRITI, EASIES, and CHICA, with more in development. From shoes to hats, belts to cologne and deodorant, the stores offer a lifestyle appropriate to their brand name and fashion.

KKCL has advanced their own garment technology by developing patented seams, stitches, and washes for their own brands, all of which were created by the company's designers. By using TUKA3D to design and test future innovations, KKCL will be able to immediately assess and visualize their work on a life-like, three-dimensional avatar that demonstrates how the clothes look, fit and drape on a human being. As KKCL continues to pioneer new ways to make garments, Tukatech will offer both technology and support to turn their vision into reality.

"Tukatech is proud to work with Kewal Kiran Clothing Limited, one of India's most prestigious manufacturers and the home of several of the natio women's jackets n's leading brands," said Tukatech founder and CEO Mr. Ram Sareen.

Dad Has Saved Your Skin: Here is a Chance to Save His

Research has shown that women are much better at practicing sun safety than men. In fact, the vast majority of sun protective ads appear in women's magazines because these companies know their customers: Women are interested in sun protection. Men tend not to be.

Men are less likely than women to protect their skin by covering up with UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) clothing, wearing sunscreen, and/or staying out of the sun. Men know less about sun protection than women but that may be by choice.

Sunscreen, for example, is viewed by many men as a cosmetic and men are not as interested in using skin care products. Men do not care for the feel and smell of sunscreens, regarding them as greasy and "girly". Some men also choose vanity over sun safety. They feel they look better with a tan and do not want anything to interfere with "tanning." The problem is that there is no safe tanning. Tans are caused by harmful UV (ultraviolet) radiation and are the result of skin cell damage. Cumulative exposure can lead to premature aging as well as skin cancer. Effects of this excessive exposure are not immediately evident. Most sun damage takes years to develop, sometimes up to thirty years.

Here are four easy ways to stop the sunscreen excuses:

  •     Purchase sunscreens that are unscented. A sunscreen does not have to be scented to be effective.
  •     To eliminate that "sticky" feeling, try a sport sunscreen that absorbs quickly.
  •     Use water or alcohol-based sun products. These types of sunscreens are not greasy and there are actually more of these types of sunscreens on the market than oil-based products.
  •     To avoid sunscreen dripping into the eyes and stinging, try a stick sunscreen on the forehead and eye area. They are quick and easy to apply and best of all stay put even in contact with perspiration or water. It is important to note, that sunscreen should never be applied directly in the eye area. Use sunglasses to protect this delicate area instead. Avoid products that contain preservatives, dyes and artificial fashion coats online fragrances as these ingredients can hurt the eyes.

Father Day Gift suggestions include: Golf Hats, Golf Sleeves, Driving Sleeves and Sun Gloves.

SunGrubbies.com offers products that have been approved and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, the Melanoma International Foundation and the Skin and Cancer Federation of Australia. Every product has been laboratory tested for their sun protective ability and every purchase is 100% guaranteed for satisfaction.
