Giveaway: Premium Merino Wool Felt MacBook Case, Valet Tray, and Wine Carrier from Graf Lantz

Graf Lantz is all in on felt and its biodegradable, renewable, sustainable glory — and you should be too.

There’s so much more to felt than the soft, fuzzy exterior we’re all familiar with. It’s also naturally durable, moisture-wicking, and flame retardant, making it a powerhouse textile that really shines in the right design. Graf Lantz has known all of this for years, of course, which is why they’ve been harnessing the unique power of wool felt in their bags and home accessories since the beginning. The Los Angeles-based brand’s felt collection overflows with equal parts function (like the easily fold-able handles of their tote bins) and energizing, modern design (like the bold bursts of color from their coasters), which makes any product from Graf Lantz an art piece as much as an accessory.

With a new year just beginning, it’s the perfect time to revamp your space, rethink your style, and reorganize your life. The team at Graf Lantz wants to help you welcome the wonder of wool felt into your space. To kick off your collection, we’re giving away a set of three minimalist merino wool accessories that will inject your 2018 with fun, function, and a heavy dose of style.

Toto MacBook Pro 15” – $98

As felt connoisseurs, the Graf Lantz design team took note of the way the fabric has been used throughout history to store delicate tools and equipment and saw the perfect way to translate the idea into the world of tech. Enter their Toto MacBook Pro sleeve, made with 100% merino wool felt and a durable plastic zipper closure. The felt is soft enough to create a soft, cozy pocket for your laptop, but durable enough to create a strong, scratch-proof barrier against the outside world.

Valet Tray – $65 

Keeping small items organized while traveling can be next to impossible. As you whip through airport security, hop in and out of your car, or weave through the streets on your bike, it’s easy to lose track of coins, keys, headphones, and a million other minuscule-but-must-have accessories. For Graf Lantz, this is just another opportunity for felt to step in and save the day. Their valet tray is made of 3mm merino wool felt that quickly and easily snaps together to protect your valuables on the run, and the interior features a lovely vegetable tanned leather accent.

Solo Wine Carrier – $89

 Is there anything better than cracking open a bottle of wine and enjoying it among friends? Doing it in style. Graf Lantz’ solo wine carrier is made of beautiful 5mm merino wool felt. The clever little carrier holds one standard bottle up to champagne size, and the tan leather handle detaches so you can go from travel to table in seconds.

One lucky winner will receive all three of these Graf Lantz accessories, all in beautiful matching granite gray felt. Enter below and soon you could be jump starting the New Year with the wonders of wool.

Ranked: The 11 best Bill Murray movies ever
He's starred in a lot of films, but if you're a fan, you must see these Murray movies
Bill Murray from Lost in Translation

A name that is and should be widely recognized in comedy, Bill Murray has been around to provide laughs for decades. Bringing his own unique qualities to the screen, Murray has carved for himself a niche based on his personality that simply cannot be copied. Between his masterful physical comedy to his perfectly timed and hysterical line deliveries, Bill is truly a one-of-a-kind talent. From his many roles over the years, the films he stars in are either because a certain director or repeat collaborator has a great bond with him, or simply because he is able to steal the spotlight no matter the assignment. Due to this, he has been given opportunities to play cameos in later films such as Dumb and Dumber To, Get Smart, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and a cameo as himself in Zombieland, which has got to be his best cameo.
All the way from wacky and zany to introspectively deep, Bill Murray portrays a lifetime of emotions in our list of films today. If you watch him closely enough, his performative nuances will make you laugh, cry, and think about what it truly means to be an actor. Murray is loved as a human being worldwide (for the most part), who has reportedly shown his face at random bars and parties just for a kick, becoming the owner of four minor league baseball teams, spontaneously studying philosophy and history in Paris, and starting his own golf apparel line. These and many other reasons are why we are here today to celebrate his accomplishments on screen, so sit back and scroll through the 10 best Bill Murray movies ever.

The 11 best Clint Eastwood movies (acted in and directed), ranked
Here's a good place to start if you want see Eastwood's best of the best
Clint Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge

 

If one were to mention the greats from classic Hollywood cinema (especially Western movies), Clint Eastwood’s name would be one of the first to come up. A highly successful actor, producer, and director, Eastwood has developed his own unique style of film that follows a narrative format with a monumental ending every time.
Before his illustrious cinema career, Eastwood worked as a lumberjack, a firefighter, a swimming instructor, and a bouncer to get by. Kicking off his film career in 1955 as a few unnamed extras, Clint has since spent the following over 65 years committing his life to the practice of film and acting. As a director, and unlike David Fincher and his meticulous directing, Eastwood has been known to get what he wants in one take without storyboarding, rehearsing, or changing the script at all. Considering some of the great directorial works he has produced, this is impressive beyond belief but not exactly unexpected from a character like Clint.
Since there are so many Eastwood features to pick from (72 acting credits on IMDB), this list is about the films he has directed and acted in. This means that we will, unfortunately, have to omit some of his greatest performances to date (Dirty Harry, A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Escape from Alcatraz, Hang ‘Em High, etc.), despite them being as great as they are.
