Made from pressed wool derived from factory excess Josh Jakus has designed a simply marvelous product. The Um is handmade in San Francisco using all natural materials. The recycled organic wool is repurposed into a luxurious designer quality carry all ranging in shapes and sizes. Josh ingeniously added a third dimension to a flat shape using just a zipper. This creative twist gives the Um great appeal. Perhaps the three dimensional vision comes from Josh Jakus’ formal training in architecture. The Um line ranges from clutch sized bag to larger carry-alls and are part of many useful designs of a similar ilk from Josh.

About the Author:
Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.
“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”
Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.
