Statement Staples: Bano eeMee

Contributed by Emma Callin

One thing I have always enjoyed about living in Calgary is the indomitable spirit of the people who live here - a trait which is particularly evident when the season changes to spring.  It doesn't matter if there's still frost on the ground or snow falling in the evening, many Calgarians will be out in sandals and shorts as soon as the temperature rises above ten degrees!  According to friends who are Calgary-born and bred, this is probably due more to being sick of winter than actual bravery but I still admire their daring.

As for me I'm always cold; I'm always in a jacket until the temperature rises above twenty degrees. Even indoors I prefer to wear a sweater, scarf or blazer for extra warmth.  Of course, if I'm going to wear an extra layer most of the year then why not a cool leather jacket?  Bano eeMee definitely gives me the edge and cool factor I look for in a leather jacket while still being ethically made.  Below are a couple of my favourites from the spring collection styled in different ways.
