If you are (somehow) not familiar with Coachella it is a music festival that happens a few miles outside of Palm Springs CA. The festival brings people from all the over the world together for two weekends in the desert and features only the biggest and best musical acts known. So, once we decided that we just had to be out there for Weekend 1 we also knew that it would be a great time to simultaneously introduce #TheHEXList in a different type of way than things we have done in the past. During this first weekend some of the best parties you will ever attend in your life are happening, most of them at the same time while others in places that you could never imagine. So, it's only fitting that we share a small sampling of the chaotic craziness that is Coachella and some of our experiences this go-around.

We decided that our base camp for the trip should be The Sagauro Hotel. We checked in Friday afternoon and started setting up the private VIP gifting suite for Saturday.

Overkill? As you can see above marketing manager Mr. Carl was well prepared to snap photos documenting all weekend long with his arsenal of various digital, 35mm and Polaroid cameras. Honestly though, he was also doing some last minute R&D for our new Gear Bag which is just starting to roll out now. His main job was keeping control over Neran and TK as you will come to see...

After setting up the suite it was time to hit the first party of the weekend. The good folks at Hennessy teamed up with Details Magazine and took over a private residence to host one hell of a shindig...oh, ya, and this guy named Nas was performing as well!

Nas, the man, myth and legend himself...talk about relevancy...what a show.

Dev rocked and opened up the evening. Her spunky demeanor thoroughly impressed us.

With all the Henny being drank what better way to soak it all up then with some FatBurger?

Yes those are teepees, and yes we were still at the Hennessy party...when you’re in the desert tepees are acceptable for meeting up with your friends and collecting your thoughts or figuring out which party to hit up next...obviously, we were always looking for the next party...duh. Thankfully for our friends Jesse and Ian over at DUB Frequency we didn't have to think too hard and with a quick text we were out and on to the next spot...the WILDFOX party. Continue reading →

Photographers, Videographers and DJ's all around rejoice...In true HEX fashion we are proud to present to you the newest addition of our growing family...the Gear Bag! Standing roughly 18" tall and chock-full of exterior pockets and interior compartments to house just about anything your little heart desires, the Gear Bag was truly made with the young creative professional in mind. On the outside, this waxed charcoal canvas wonder has five general storage compartments for easy access to pretty much everything ranging from cables, film, chargers and adapters to a separate fleece lined iPad/tablet pocket to keep only your most beloved tech gadgets safe and secure as can be.

Not to mention the airport security (TSA compliant) ready 180 degree flat folding laptop compartment (shown above) with a business organizer that can hold up to a 15" MacBook Pro and effortlessly get you through that dreaded security line in a jiffy-just lay it flat on the conveyor belt and go, with no need to break out a plastic bin and struggle. However, the main attraction and true functionality lies within where one can find a large luggage compartment complete with removable modular padded gear liner that can be customized to fit a myriad of camera, photo, video and DJ gear with the option to rip it all out and use as one massive baggage chamber if that's more your style.

Interior storage compartment shown with padded dividers in place holding SLR camera gear and miscellaneous equipment.

So, whether you shoot Canon or Nikon, spin vinyl or are a digital Mozart, our Gear Bag will sustain you in whatever the situation may call for and keep you looking good in the process. Available soon on our website and premium retailers near you, keep an eye out for this bad boy as it's sure to be a game-changer.

The beginning of the year is always a busy time for us...but good busy, not that dreaded busy busy. In saying that we mean that we are off gallivanting the globe excited to be showing off our new collections in places like Las Vegas, London, Berlin and of course New York City. At CES we get let our techy side out a bit mixing it up with all of the latest and greatest electronics and accessories while doubling down on the tables. Meanwhile at Project and Agenda shows running back to back in New York we're pretty much at the mercy of the pace of the city itself, which for those of you who don't know is non-stop. Then, over across the Atlantic we get to hang in Germany and London for Jacket Required and Bread & Butter letting our true fashion roots breakthrough and shine alongside some of the hottest brands in Europe. What follows is just a small photo sampling from our escapades, and for those of you who will be around be sure to come catch us again in Las Vegas for Project starting on the 19th of this month!

LAS VEGAS (Jan. 8, 2013)-HEX, award-winning fashionable techcessories brand, today announced the debut of its Axis Folio for iPad mini, and two new hard shall laptop cases at CES 2013 (Jan. 8-11). Featuring HEX's signature textiles, each new accessory offers a blend of thoughtful design and street wear sophistication that make an unmistakable style statement. CES attendees can check out the new lineup of HEX products, including a sneak peek at to-be-announced spring and summer collections, in the North Hall of the LVCC at booth #6422.

Proving that good things come in small packages, the Axis Folio for iPad mini ($69.95) is the ideal fusion of modern functionality and rich fabrics. The Axis Folio's slim design, flap pocket and built-in card slots allow users to get the most out of their mini case by removing the need for bulky wallets or money clips. Multiple viewing angles and a camera hole means users can capture and view what inspires the most with without having to press pause on their style. The Axis Folio for iPad mini is available in Torino black leather, Torino red leather, grey waxed denim with black coasted canvas trim, or charcoal with ivory pinstripe and tan faux leather trim. The HEX Axis Folio for the full size iPad ($79.95) is also available in the same fabrics.

In addition to tablet accessories, HEX is also unveiling a new hard shell case for MacBook. In an innovative step, its designers combined premium waxed denim and canvas to a custom molded polycarbonate to bring texture and new appeal to laptop cases. The hard shell MacBook cases ($59.95) are available in grey waxed denim, or blue, red and ivory cabana striped canvas.

"We want to provide consumers with products that are an extension of their personal style and reflect the fashion industry's increased adoption of the tech world," says Dan Maravilla, co-founder, HEX. "CES is the ideal platform to unveil these products and demonstrate how HEX products eliminate the need to choose between function and fashion when it comes to carrying the devices that help keep us connected."

The Axis Folio for iPad mini and hard shell cases for MacBook will be available beginning in February.
