Here at Floozy we're very proud to be New Zealand's only stockist of the incredibly innovative label, Harveys Seatbelt Bags.
The label was founded in March 1997, by husband and wife team, Dana and Melanie Harvey, whilst installing seatbelts into their 1950's Buick, they had the idea of making Melanie a handbag from the leftover seatbelt, everybody loved it, so they decided to make more and now the line can be found in more than 700 department stores and boutiques throughout the USA, with big followings in Europe and Japan. You can hear more about the label from Dana Harvey in the You Tube video below, but I'm excited to tell you that we're giving away this gorgeous Harveys Large Tote in Seafoam and you could go in to the draw to win it!
All you have to do is post a comment below this blog post, telling us why you'd like to own a Harveys seatbelt bag and you'll be entered into the draw, you must register and sign in to be entered into the draw, (anonymous comments can't be entered, as we won't know how to contact you!)
Competition closes 15th August 2010. Prize can only be shipped within New Zealand. Winner will be announced on the Floozy blog.

I'd always been a serious shopaholic. In a previous life I was Cabin Crew, (for The World's Favourite Airline), giving me an opportunity to shop on a global scale, from the souk's in Istanbul to "Bloomingdales" in New York, I was always on the quest for the perfect fashion accessory or must have item!!
Floozy was created in 2007, a fantastic online store where one can purchase all manner of delightful treats and trinkets, from a selection of fabulous International Designers, including, Susse Collection, Pink Lining, Nicole Van Dyke and Lola Rose.

Oh No....
I just spent ages inputting my story as to why I think I deserve this handbag ( how I spent 5 months with my hubby restoring a 1965 mustang and it would be the perfect accessory etc ) Only to have it all erased.
I feel absolutely shattered and cannot recall haw I wrote it as it was so perfect the first time!!
Will have to go and open a bottle of wine and drown my sorrows.

One of our local art
One of our local art galleries had small seatbelt bags for sale, but they were black only. When I came across your ad in the NEXT mag I just had to find out more about the Harveys bags. I love the shimmer of the weave, and the seafoam colour is just gorgeous! If I am to win this bag it will replace my current everyday-bag aka constant companion on the go!

Wow! Thanks for all your entries so far, you are all in the draw to win this beautiful handbag.
Just so there is no misunderstanding I should let you all know that this bag is made from new seatbelt, not recycled seatbelt, only the Harvey's Treecycle range are made from recycled seatbelts.
Nevertheless, it is a gorgeous bag and I wish you all lots of luck!
