JAMES˚ KNIVES
The James Brand was created in Portland, Oregon in 2012 by a group of designers and adventurers who were looking for something better. Based on the adage that if you can’t nd what you want, you might have to make it yourself, we decided to put pen to paper and design something new: knives made with premium materials, a minimalist design aesthetic, and clear attention to the details. We make knives and tools that are a better re ection of our values and lives. Modern, minimal everyday carry is what the James brand is all about.

THE TRUE TASTE OF VICTORY
CHAMPAGNE CARBON
Champagne Carbon is the brainchild of Alexandre Mea, a fth generation champagne producer family from the
village of Champillon. Steeped in the lore of viniculture, Alexandre’s family has been involved in winemaking since the 19th century. In 1920 the family, one of the largest landowners in the region, began producing its own high-quality champagnes. Since then, using traditional skills handed down from generation to generation, the family has developed an enviable reputation as a producer of exceptional champagne.
Inspired by his grandfather’s drive to build his family business into a world-renowned producer of Champagne, Alexandre founded Champagne Carbon in 2011 as both the ultimate expression of tradition and innovation. Tradition in the shape of time-honoured methods used in the production of champagne from the family vineyards and innovation in the shape of the remarkable carbon- clothed bottles that pay homage to Alexandre’s passion for technology and in particular Formula 1®.
