Voyage Denver Today we’d like to introduce you to Ava Carmichael. Ava, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I began my career path as a fashion designer in 1998, first designing and selling swimwear. In 2007, I began specializing in denim and working for some pretty large apparel companies. But before that..

Indie Shorts Mag – Ava Marie Carmichael’s costume design and Michael Murray’s production design brings Little Sicily to life. Not faltering even for a moment, it just takes one scene for the viewer to be convinced of the setting of the film.

Pure City Cycles – Back in 2013, Carmichael & Co. successfully kickstarted their first batch of bike bags and now they’re back with a gorgeous new lineup for Spring 2015! The new line features the same high-quality canvas and leather craftsmanship that made the first campaign a runaway hit, all dressed up in fresh new spring colors.  It’s not often that bike accessories hit that magic mark between quality construction and attractive aesthetics, but they nailed it on this one. read more

Cyclr.com – Beautifully crafted with an elegant vintage-inspired finish, the ‘Paris Double Pannier’ is sequentially the perfect pannier for the discerning cyclist. The 22 oz. pannier is made from a waterproof duck canvas with a leather trim. The bag also features thoughtfully designed inner zipper pockets and rain flaps for added protection from the elements. Stylish and functional, it wouldn’t surprise me if the ‘Paris Double Pannier’ was one of Carmichael and Co’s best selling products.
