Gamila has released the new Mila Art Jacket as a companion product to their Mila Bikini iPod skin launched earlier this year. The Art Jacket allows users to snap their Mila Bikini covered iPod into a sleeve for greater protection and portability. The Art Jacket allows music listeners to support their favorite indie artists while protecting their favorite music artists on their iPods.

The Mila Art Jacket was conceived when Aly Khalifa, Gamila owner and Designbox member, noticed a trend during a Designbox gallery show. "In hosting shows, we noticed the excitement many of our local artists garnered, but many patrons left the shows empty-handed," noted Aly. "We decided to introduce a high quality medium so artists could expose more people to their artwork." The release of the Mila Art Jacket provides the artist an affordable consumer product that is portable, highly functional and supports the local indie scene.

Gamila worked with local and national artists including Paul Friedrich, Casey Porn, Dale Flattum, Beth Khalifa, Joey Florian and Ben Wilson on the Jacket artwork. Current designs by these artists can be seen at the Gamila website. Gamila is adding new artists and designs for their Mila Art Jacket spring collection.

The Mila Art Jacket contrasts the sleek and minimal Mila Bikini iPod skins with a very decorative jacket that is as innovative as it is distinctive. The Mila Bikini skin, released last winter, is constructed from 100% polyurethane. Since the Mila Bikini is PVC-free, it is a soft yet resilient skin and will not leach chemicals onto your iPod's screen.

To accompany the Mila Bikini, the Mila Art Jacket is made from polyurethane foam and is a no-sew product. "We are focusing our product design efforts on creating no-sew consumer products through such innovative techniques as high frequency welding and overmolded plastics," remarked Aly. "We see this as the future for production."

Gamila plans to expand the Mila Art Jacket design into other markets, including music promotion and corporate branding.
