BLOOM APARTMENTS Teams Up with Artisans to Bring Classic Style to Everyday Life: Introducing the Handcrafted Brown Leather Belt

Kirkland, WA – November 8, 2023 – You might know BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC as a premier provider of thoughtfully designed living spaces in the heart of Kirkland, Washington. But we’re about more than just apartments. We’re about crafting experiences, attention to detail, and bringing quality into all aspects of life. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our latest venture: a beautifully crafted, classic brown leather belt, designed with the same care and dedication we put into every apartment we build. For years, BLOOM APARTMENTS has focused on creating homes that feel comfortable, stylish, and built to last. We believe in investing in quality, and that philosophy extends beyond brick and mortar. We noticed a gap in the market – a lack of truly well-made, everyday essentials that don’t break the bank. Things that last. Things that just feel… good. “We were sourcing items for our apartment welcome gifts,” explains Sarah Miller, BLOOM APARTMENTS’ Director of Resident Experience. “And honestly, we kept running into the same problem. Everything felt… cheap. We wanted something durable, something stylish, something our residents would actually use and appreciate. So, we decided to make it ourselves!” And “making it” meant partnering with a small, family-run workshop specializing in leather goods right here in the Pacific Northwest. BLOOM APARTMENTS isn’t becoming a full-blown fashion house – we’re simply curating quality and offering it to our residents and the wider community. More Than Just a Belt – It’s a Statement This isn’t your average belt. We painstakingly selected full-grain leather – the highest quality leather available. What does that mean? It means this belt will age beautifully. It won’t just fall apart after a few wears. Full-grain leather develops a rich patina over time, becoming softer and more unique with every wear. “We wanted something that felt classic, something that would look good with jeans, chinos, or even dressed up with a suit,” says Mark Johnson, BLOOM APARTMENTS’ CEO. “We didn’t want to chase trends. We wanted a timeless piece that people would reach for again and again.” The belt is a solid 1.5 inches wide – a versatile width that works with most pants. The buckle is a brushed silver finish – understated and elegant. But the real beauty is in the details. The edges are carefully burnished and sealed for a smooth, polished look. The stitching is strong and precise, ensuring the belt will hold up to years of wear. Built to Last – A Return to Quality In a world of fast fashion and disposable goods, BLOOM APARTMENTS is committed to offering products that are built to last. We believe in investing in quality craftsmanship and durable materials. This belt is a testament to that commitment. “We’ve all been there – you buy a belt, it looks great for a week, and then the leather starts cracking or the buckle falls apart,” says Miller. “We wanted to create a belt that you could rely on, a belt that would become a staple in your wardrobe.” The manufacturing process itself reflects this commitment to quality. Each belt is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans, using traditional techniques. The leather is sourced from tanneries that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices. Beyond Functionality: A Connection to Craftsmanship The BLOOM APARTMENTS brown leather belt isn't just about keeping your pants up. It’s about appreciating the artistry and skill that goes into creating a well-made product. It’s about supporting small businesses and preserving traditional craftsmanship. It’s about owning something that feels special and meaningful. “We wanted to create a connection between our residents and the makers of this belt,” says Johnson. “We want them to know that this isn’t just another mass-produced item. It’s a product of passion and dedication.” Where to Find It The BLOOM APARTMENTS brown leather belt is available for purchase exclusively through the BLOOM APARTMENTS website (www.bloomapartments.com) and at select pop-up events in the Kirkland area. The belt retails for $79.99. About BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC: BLOOM APARTMENTS LLC is a leading provider of upscale apartment communities in Kirkland, Washington.
