Bags of Summer: Tremolo

May 13th, 2013

Our RED LABEL line is simply one of a kind. Inspired by the officers of World War II, we took the idea of a ruck-sack and turned it into bags for a modern user. The Tremolo is the backpack designed for our Red Label line. Not only is the styling unique, but you won’t find anything like the Tremolo anywhere else. The coated canvas material is soft and durable, but it provides a vintage and relaxed feel. The tech-features were designed to provide more than enough space for your laptop, e-reader, cords, cell phone and more. Plus, the internal corduroy padding is comfortable, but tough and protective.

The Tremolo comes in three colors, (black, olive and military green) and offers a ton of cool features!

Supports 15.6” laptop, Hide-A-Way water bottle pouch, Vertical side storage pockets for cord accessory, Multi-functional inner organizer function, Front “quick access” storage pocket, Unique “Dog Tag Buckle” closing system, Main body classic canvas material, Corduroy padded laptop lining, Genuine leather banding, Full support padded back panel with air flow channels.

When designing the Tremolo, we left nothing to chance! This backpack has everything you need…seriously. Head on over to the RED LABEL site and purchase your’s today!

Do you carry a Tremolo by Ful? Tweet us @fulbags with a picture of you and your backpack! Use the hashtag “#ILOVEMYTREMOLO”! We can’t wait to see you guys on Twitter!

LSTN UP 2013

May 10th, 2013

We couldn’t wait to get back to LSTN UP 2013 and share a few tracks we’ve been cranking up the volume to jam out. Today we’re featuring the butterfly herself, Mariah Carey, the great guys from Vampire Weekend and a killer tune from Majical Cloudz.

“The cheesiest songs all end with a smile.” The truth behind this lyric carries “Bugs Don’t Buzz” by Majical Cloudz. “Bugs Don’t Buzz” is arguably one of the most honest, broken-hearted, love songs we’ve heard in 2013. Take a listen to the track below and pick up Majical Cloudz’s album, Impersonator on May 27.

_______________________________________________________________

From “Vision Love” to her latest track, “#Beautiful” we have adored Mariah Carey. On her most recent collaboration with Miguel, we see classic Mariah with her airy and effortless vocals. Behind the track there is a vintage rhythm, carried by the harmonies between Mariah and Miguel. We have “#Beautiful” on repeat with the volume up, and cannot get enough.

_______________________________________________________________

It should be no secret we LOVE Vampire Weekend. With only a few days until the release of, Modern Vampires of the City, the guys from Vampire Weekend released “Ya Hey”. Take a listen to another great track off their upcoming album below and pick up Modern Vampires of the City on May 13.

Beale Street Music Festival!

April 29th, 2013

Countdown to Beale Street Music Festival has begun! This weekend people from all over the world will travel to The Bluff City to hear awesome bands and celebrate music. BSMF is one of our favorite things about our city. We love singing along with our favorite songs and seeing musicians we admire. It’s arguably one of the best weekends of the entire Memphis in May festival.

This year BSMF welcomes The Black Keys, Daryl Hall & John Oats, The Roots, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Public Enemy and the Deftones to name a few. The Memphis in May organization has made navigating the festival super easy. They have created an app that provides information for BSMF and all the other festivals throughout Memphis in May.

Stay tuned to The Pulse this week for a Beale Street Music Fest inspired edition of Playlist Wednesday and a little something special on Friday. Happy Monday!
