Absolute Blackout Apparel is an independently owned art clothing company started in 2010 in the Lower Hudson Valley. Our dream is to promote young artists who have the talent & passion to create unparalleled art & make sexy, wearable clothing for the everyday deviant. This serves as an outlet for our inspirations and another way to connect to likeminded individuals in a non-intimate world ABSOLUTEBLACKOUT.COMTumblr (3.0; @absoluteblackout)http://absoluteblackout.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/de7a113bab3f60e06ff9cd4d9853f5ef/tumblr_ml9fq7bFrq1qfiftmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Next step is to hammer all of the snaps onto the flaps by hand.</p>http://absoluteblackout.tumblr.com/post/47977348784http://absoluteblackout.tumblr.com/post/47977348784Sun, 14 Apr 2013 15:34:54 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d26fa8f586ea6a7af3f03cbe3e8f9db7/tumblr_ml9f6134p11qfiftmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Taking a break from sewing the flaps for the bags to iron the lining fabrics.

First being that our materials have changed. We are now making our Holster Purses out of “upcycled” leather that comes from old leather coats. Essentially we are re-purposing out of style leather coats into a new beautiful accessory. Using this type of production we are setting an example on ways for a small business to reduce waste & support a “greener” fashion industry. The design is relatively the same as our first line but much stronger, more defined, more comfortable & easier to wear. We took the idea of a Gun Holster & turned it into a unisex utility hip pouch but did not forsake the style, construction or beauty of a fashion accessory.</p> <p>Second, we are doing a company wide redesign. Updating our website with the newest technologies to make viewing our look book & shopping even easier. Also making our online presence even stronger & allowing you, the customer. to see how our innovative product is made & how we operate on a day to day basis as a small self funded start-up.</p> <p>Third, we will officially be releasing our line of Bandannas. These items have never been sold online. Until now they were only sold exclusively at our table shows. These reversible bandannas are a fun, interactive accessory for everyone who wants functional face coverage with a fashionable & intense design. Wear it like a mask, wear it like a scarf, this line of Bandannas is sure to catch your eye.</p> <p>Lastly, we’re working with a new team. New photographers, new graphic designers, new models, new suppliers. We are challenging ourselves to truly become the Blackout Army.</p> <p>So join us as we create the company, the product & the art we have always dreamed of.</p> <p>Sincerely,</p> <p>Absolute Blackout</p> <p>Madeleine Maloy, owner</p> <p></p>http://absoluteblackout.tumblr.com/post/47905922542http://absoluteblackout.tumblr.com/post/47905922542Sat, 13 Apr 2013 19:48:43 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ef4db303774cb6dfdaff62edcdfab5c1/tumblr_ml5i2sgeir1qfiftmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Excited to get the ball rolling on this project!
