Craig Stevenson, owner of Loft Blu - a "gallery/refuge/venue" inside Glassworks where Australian-born designer Josh Goots stayed recently - is serious about gettingintoKentucky Derby Spirit.

So Stevenson likes to wear a limited-edition Derby-themed tie by Vineyard Vines available at Parallel 38, 3905 Chenoweth Square. It's $95 - $5 of which benefits Brightside. The ties feature a repeated design of a thoroughbred racehorse and mint julep cup. They're available in red, dark royal and yellow, and only 1,000 will be sold.

$5,000 raised for Brightside — Mayor Jerry Abramson announced today that sales from the official city tie have generated almost $5,000 that will benefit Brightside. The money will be used to create community gardens, maintain Bright Sites and buy supplies for community-wide cleanups.

Camel Weekender ($935)
Most luggage can be categorized as either functional or stylish. Sandstorm Kenya makes a line of bags that are both, as well as downright luxurious. They arealso very, very durable. Many are made with camel hide, and it's hard to imagine a material tougher than that. The African company started out making high-quality safari tents and each of its handmade bags is both beautiful and practical.

The Weekender (22 by 7 by 15 inches) has reinforced corners and a bunch of inside pockets of different sizes. The leather comes from North African camels euthanized because of old age. The company donates a portion of overseas sales to Kenya's Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. To view the collection of canvas, cowhide, camel and tweed products, go to www.sandstormkenya.com. The Weekender, and several other Sandstorm bags, are available locally at Parallel 38 in Chenoweth Square, (502) 895-3559.

Patagonia Men's Island Hopper Zip-Off Pants
While you probably won't need these convertible trousers in the hot and humid Ohio Valley for the next couple of months, they could come in handy if you are going to the mountains or the coast, somewhere that it's cool in the morning and evening and warm in the middle of the day. The durable poly/nylon trousers, which offer 30+ UPF sun protection, have zip-off legs that turn them into shorts. They are quick-drying, too, in case you get caught in a storm or your canoe capsizes. And they are supposed to have a jaunty, wrinkled look. It's the fabric. Don't try to iron them or they will melt. (I will not tell you how I know this.) You can get a pair at Parallel 38, 3905 Chenoweth Lane in Chenoweth Square, (502) 895-3559. $75.
