Who doesn’t want to feel good? Well, Alex Caputo of CAPUTO & CO is not only known for his amazing leather goods collection, but for being philanthropically minded. For Spring 2013, Alex has created a design that combines a beautiful hand-braided bracelet with the finest leather and signature hardware. 100% of all sales will be donated to a local charity.

Beginning March 1^st through March 15^th, a contest will be initiated on www.caputoandco.com where the public will be able to vote on where the sales of the “Feel Good” bracelet will be donated. The two charities that Alex has chosen to work with are: Housing Works and Citymeals-on- Wheels.

“I am a strong advocate of social responsibility and it is part of the DNA of my brand”. stated Alex Caputo, Creative Director of Caputo & Co. “From the start, my business has teamed up with a local non-profit organization in Guatemala – Comunidades de la Tierra to produce hand-knotted bracelets and textiles. Through the work of Comunidades de la Tierra, we have helped to bring jobs and fair wages to villagers in that region. I want to continue and expand social responsibility through the sales of the Feel Good Bracelet. Feeling good about looking good takes on a whole new meaning.”

The bracelet will retail for $65 and be sold at the following retailers: Unionmade, Bloomingdales, Bird, Barneys, and Caputoandco.com.

Alex has created an inspired collection of messenger bags, duffel bags, totes and shoppers, as well as belts. Using the finest eco-friendly leathers in bespoke colors which were created using natural vegetable tans, Caputo is committed to beautiful design and quality craftsmanship as he is to ethical and sustainable business practices.

Smell your best with these great fragrances

You only get one chance to make a great first impression. That is why we dress nicely. That is why we groom ourselves expertly. And that is why you need to have a great cologne. You never know who you are going to meet, and you don't want to be caught in anything other than your best. You may be forgiven if your hair is a little long when you are on the trail. You may be forgiven for having a five o'clock shadow on Saturday afternoon. And you may not be punished for wearing jeans and a T-shirt at the movie theater. However, you will always be judged for not smelling good. That is why you need to invest in the best men's colognes.

Having a pleasant fragrance is more than smelling pleasant for those around you. It also attracts people to you and shows that you care about your hygiene. People will respond better and remember you fondly if your smell lingers. It is the most powerful scent tied to memory, so make sure you are remembered in 2024 with these top picks for colognes for men. We didn't go with all the big boys in the men's cologne industry. You will see one name that nearly everyone knows. But, we stuck more with the ones that you all should know. There is no Dior, no Polo, and no Gucci on this list. We didn't go for names. We went for quality fragrances and picks that will keep you remembered long after you leave.
