Stockholm Objects - A Unique Scandinavian Boutique May 02 2013
Located in quaint and upscale Hinsdale, Illinois, you can find a variety of Urban Junket styles at Stockholm Objects. Owned by Annette Brinkmeier since 2011, Stockholm Objects stands out as a truly unique, Scandinavian lifestyle boutique located in the heart of downtown.
The boutique is European inspired and stocks a smart selection of women’s fashions, exciting, high-quality pieces of jewelry, modern and classic home accessories and furniture, as well as golf wear for men. Stockholm Objects embodies the timeless quality and functionality of traditional Scandinavian design and promotes the cool and trendy Scandinavian lifestyle of today.
On fashion, Annette's goal is to offer elegance and simplicity for the smart, modern urbanite with an eye for good design and the busy professional who doesn’t necessarily draw a sharp line between work and leisure. For the staff, finding unique lines like Urban Junket and helping women discover the pieces that look great here and now - and that will quickly remain favorites for many seasons to come - is the most gratifying of all.
Stockholm Objects is located at 39 S Washington Street, Hinsdale, IL 60521. More information about Stockholm Objects can be found on their website or by connecting with them online through Facebook and Twitter. If you're ever in the area, please stop by to see their wonderful style and say hello!

Uptown Minnesota opens in Minneapolis Airport with Urban Junket Front and Center April 04 2013
Travel + Leisure ranked the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport (MSP) number one for many reasons, including shopping, food and drink, ease of security and check in, cleanliness and baggage handling, to name a few. On the top of our list for great new stores at MSP is Uptown Minnesota, now open on the G Concourse.
Uptown Minnesota features top local brands from the state and is a true “testament to the Twin Cities’ talent pool,” featuring brands such as J.W. Hulme Co., Itsaca Leathergoods, Illume, Thymes and, of course, Urban Junket.
Uptown Minnesota's wonderful display in the MSP airport.
Urban Junket is ecstatic to be one of the featured brands at Uptown Minnesota since the UJ style is great for travel, especially the portable power contained in the Power Trips line. UJ’s proprietary Joey Battery Pack, ideal for airport travel, is TSA-friendly, meaning it doesn’t have to be removed from carry-on bags to go through security. The Power Trips bags will keep you from being tethered to charging stations or wall plugs during any of your travels or lengthy layovers. Learn more about the benefits of the Power Trips bags.
If you’re ever lucky enough to travel to or through MSP, make sure you swing through G Concourse to see Uptown Minnesota and take a peek at Urban Junket’s display there.

A Ferry Ride From Seattle - The Traveler on Bainbridge Island February 20 2013
If you're ever in Puget Sound near downtown Seattle, take the opportunity to ride the ferry across to Bainbridge Island. On the island, there is an excellent store dedicated to all things travel related. The Traveler, Inc. is a quick walk from the dock and well worth the trip, especially if you're interested in anything connected to travel.
The Traveler represents Urban Junket very well through focus on functional travel accessories and luggage which goes hand-in-hand with our goal of stylish and functional designs. After all, what is better than a rechargeable Joey Battery Pack with a built-in velcro pocket for security when you're traveling. The Joey Battery can also be charged from any outlet in the world, so no pesky worries about whether you'll be able to charge your phone or other USB-chargeable device from a different voltage from your home country.
Urban Junket has an even closer connection to The Traveler since Tracy Dyer, UJ's owner and founder, used to live close by on Bainbridge Island, taking the ferry in to work each day. Here's a snapshot of Tracy outside the front door of The Traveler on her last trip out to the lovely island.
No matter what level of interest you have in traveling, The Traveler has something for you. From language classes and travel information guides to clothing and accessories, the team at The Traveler will get you set up for a future adventure and you can purchase your next Urban Junket bag to make the trip with you!
If you have a trip coming up or you live in the Northwest and would like to visit, more information about The Traveler can be found on their website or by connecting with them online through Facebook, Twitter or The Traveler Blog.

Accessory Girl Creatively Wears Urban Junket Accessories January 25 2013
At Urban Junket, we are always looking for creative ways to display our products for the various shows and events we attend each year. Our philosophy to combine inspired and unique styling with everyday functionality complements our displays very nicely. Take a look at our creative and functional display from the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City, Utah:
Recycling at the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City, UT January 23 2013
A few weeks ago we gave you a peek at our creative plastic water bottle installation on location at the Atlanta Gift Show. Today marks the start of the Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City, Utah so we have another glimpse into our creative recycled water bottle projects for you. As a vertical fixture, the lights help to visually represent that all of our lined bags use a certain number of recycled plastic bottles for their interior fabric.
Come find Urban Junket and our creative lighting fixture at the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake, BR420.
The number of recycled water bottles it takes to create each bag is listed in the product description for each bag on our website. Each bag that we produce helps to reduce landfill waste by turning bottles into bags!
For more information about where you can see our water bottle creations in person and where you can find us, visit our events page. To contact Urban Junket or to find the showroom closest to your area, visit our contact list.
A Little Creative Recycling For Our Plastic Bottles January 09 2013
At Urban Junket, we have a strong belief that being kind to the earth and all its creatures is the right thing to do. All of our products are made from eco-friendly materials. The lining for all of our bags is fabricated from recycled plastic bottles. The bottles undergo high temperature washing and sterilization before being made into thread and ultimately into the fabric we use in every bag.
As a visual link between recycled plastic bottles and our bags, we created some unique lighting fixtures from our own recyclables. The Darrah & Co. showroom in Atlanta displays the funky chandelier shown below.
The number of recycled water bottles it takes to create each bag is listed in the product description for each bag on our website. Each bag that we produce helps to reduce landfill waste by turning bottles into bags!
