Carole King was honored as the 2014 MusiCares Person of the Year on Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, in Los Angeles during GRAMMY Week two nights prior to the 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards.  As part of the evening ADOPTED donated a selection of our award winning Leather Wrap Cases to everyone who attended and participated in the auction and foundation. MusiCares raised over 5.5 million dollars that evening. We are thrilled we were part of such an incredible event. 

Multi-GRAMMY-winning artists Lady Gaga, Jason Mraz, Alicia Keys, P!nk, and James Taylor performed in her honor. Sara Bareilles performed “Beautiful” just days before singing alongside King during the Grammy’s. 

We caught a glimpse of Bareilles after the Grammy’s singing some praise for her fellow nominee Lorde.

ADOPTED paired the new exotic leathers with metallic accents in Gold, Rose Gold, Silver, and Gunmetal; creating distinctive combinations including Ostrich in Sumatra Brown on a Silver frame, Cobalt Blue Python with Gold, and Black Lizard with Rose Gold metallic accents. The interior of each case is laser engraved with an “ADOPTED xo Barneys New York” logo for this exclusive collection. The Ostrich selections are available for $225, with Lizard cases at $180 and Python at $165. The collection also includes four exclusive new pebble leather styles, offered at $60 each. Each case comes in a premium gift box, custom-designed and hand- built by ADOPTED.

“I worked with the team to individually select each panel of leather for its distinctive markings and texture, which we then paired with a complementing metallic finish,” says COO Nora Levinson. “Every case has been made with the utmost care and attention to detail. The ADOPTED collection for Barneys is the next evolution of our signature Leather Wrap design.” 

“Barneys is the perfect showcase for the level of craftsmanship that we put into all of our products at ADOPTED,” says David Watkins, CEO of ADOPTED. “The curated selection of apparel and accessories at Barneys has had a major influence on my own personal style, and I took inspiration from that rich tradition of luxury while designing the line. We are delighted with the results.”

Soho, NY – November 05, 2013  Personal accessories brand ADOPTED has introduced four new cases for iPhone 5c, including a sneak peek of the Victorian Silhouette – a laser-etched graphic case featuring ornate Victorian scrollwork on ADOPTED’s signature continuous curved surface. Updated for the iPhone 5c, their popular and protective Lens Case line for Fall 2013 includes a Clear option, as well as the pristine Ceramic White and elegant Satin Black. Perfect for holiday giving, the new Silhouette and Lens cases for iPhone 5c are available online in The Adopted Shop for $29.95.

The ADOPTED Victorian Silhouette is the brand’s first graphic case release and is part of the new Silhouette series. Perfectly conforming to the iPhone 5c, it imbues an effortless elegance without detracting from the phone’s playful character. The Victorian Silhouette will be available December 2013. 

“We initiated our graphic offering with the Victorian case, because the intricate pattern we were able to achieve with laser etching was a fun counterpoint to the vibrant iPhone 5c colors,” says David Watkins, ADOPTED’s CEO and design lead.

The ADOPTED Lens Case line remains one of ADOPTED’s core favorites, owing to its simple, clean aesthetic and comfortable in hand feel. The new Clear Lens for iPhone 5c is a glossy, low profile case, which is completely transparent. The  Ceramic White has a subtle matte coating to contrast with the iPhone 5c’s glossy shell, while the Satin Black has a velvety soft-touch finish that feels great in the hand. They feature the same flowing contours that make the Lens such a great case for connecting the user with the device, and are precision crafted to ADOPTED’s highest standards. 

“The iPhone 5c colors make a strong statement, and sometimes you just want a case that isn’t there. Our Clear Lens is inconspicuous and sturdy,” says COO Nora Levinson. “Alternatively, the Ceramic White and Satin Black complement the phone so the iPhone 5c colors become striking accents.”
