Aurora

May 2010.
Still busy. A lot orders from great guys all over the world and of course a lot work for the upcoming AURORA collection. You can expect a lot.
To give you a some kind of preview, please check out the following images.
The first one is a U-Lock belt exclusivly made for AURORA. It’s handmade by a long-time bike messenger from Hamburg. The winter was pretty hard over here in Germany and so i donate 75% of the price to him.

And the last picture shows something really really nice. I’m pretty curious about these beauties and i hope you will like them aswell. They will be available with the new AURORA collection in august 2010.

Time for news!

First of all i would like to thank all the great people, who support AURORA and bought straps and shirts in the last month. I hope you all enjoy our work.
I’m really busy at the moment to get all orders on the way and besides this, i’m hard working on new stuff. So please don’t be mad at us, for a bit more waiting time. We are doing our best.
When everything works as i planned, the summer will be a great. Keep the 1st of august in mind.
Hopefully this is the date, when a whole new AURORA collection will launch and only be available through our onlineshop. There are severeal shirts in the making, a zipper, a jacket, a u-lock belt and much more…

Another heart-thing is a second issue of the AURORA artzine. Many of you ordered a copy of the first issue with the straps and i think most of you liked it. Sadly the first issue was released long ago and there wasn’t the time to get out the second one. But this summer i really would like to release it with the help of you all.
Some of you might wonder about the “collective” in the name, but this is exactly the point where i need all people around AURORA.
The second issue will have a focus on photography. I would love to get photographers from all over the world together and merge their best photographs together in this neet little AURORA magazine.

I’m looking for pictures from fixed gear and bike enthusiasts, bikes with AURORA straps, bikes with chicks, skateboarding, portraits, urban/streetlife connected with skateboarding or bike riding and stuff like that. But there is no must, if you got a picture that might fit, send it over aswell.
If you think you got quality shots, please drop a line and send over a preview to info(at)aurora-collective.com.

I’m really looking forward to your contributions and your work is not for nothing.
Every photographer who gets coverage in the magazine will be credited as he wishes and will receive a nice package as a thank you.

The magazine will be full-color offset printed in a edition of 1000 and the content will be advertisment free.
If there are companies that might want to collaborate or support this magazine, i would offer a logo placement on the back side.

I’m really curious about all this and i hope you are too.
Thanks and stay tuned for more…

Our friends over at Keirin Berlin had a neet booth at the 1st Berliner Fahrradschau fair which took place last week. Sadly it was the same weekend as the St.Paulopoly… But as always Maria Laub took some nice pictures of the booth and we say thank you for putting up one of our stickers aswell.

Thanks for your support Keirin Berlin!
