Etsy comes through with a video that asks New Yorkers a very simple question: Where do your clothes come from and do you care? Real talk, finally.

The good folks at etsy invited us to put together a short list of some of our favorite products on their wonderful site. We focused on on all things bicycles, some home decor, and gifts for the women in our lives (of course). You can see the full post over on etsy’s blog.

Disclaimer: no drinking and riding. Never. But, if you need something to hold that six pack on your ride back from the bodega, hit up Walnut Studiolo for this “6 Pack” Frame Holster. The holster was originally designed to hold a polo mallet, but as you can see, it works for this use as well. Find it on etsy.

Found this one via Nate on the Twitter this humid Saturday afternoon. Available now on Etsy is this recycled bike chain ring clock from pixelthis. “This clock was made using a recycled bicycle chain ring and a new quarts drive movement. It is aluminum and chrome steel and has 2 ring gears. The clock measures approximately 8.5 inches in diameter. It would make a great conversation piece on your wall or great gift for that biker you know who is so hard to shop for. Since these clocks are made from actual recycled bike parts, condition and model may vary slightly. Handmade in USA.”

These steampunk inspired watch cufflinks and tie bar by Rivkasmom offer a unique compliment to your normal white shirt and tie. Made from vintage watch movements that unfortunately do not work any longer, the steampunk watch cufflinks ar rectable in shape with slightly rounded corners. The tie bar is also made from a vintage dead watch and comes mounted on a brass clip. You’ll be hard pressed to find a pair of cufflinks or tie bar are mechanical as these.
