Blancanieves

In 1920s Spain, renowned matador Antonio Villalta prepares to go into the ring while his pregnant wife, the saintly Carmen de Triana, watches in anticipation. As her husband suffers a goring, Carmen goes into childbirth, unleashing a series of tragic events that have long-lasting consequences for the family. Taking its inspiration from the Brothers' Grimm story, Pablo Berger offers a gothic, black & white treatment of the myth of Snow White. A silent melodrama with a suitably malevolent villain, a chorus of enterprising dwarfs, a resourceful heroine and sumptuous production design, Blancanieves offers a sensory journey into a mythical and cinematic past.

We Steal Secrets

Now You See Me

FBI agents track a team of illusionists who pull off bank heists during their performances and reward their audiences with the money.

The Bling Ring

Inspired by actual events, a group of fame-obsessed teenagers use the internet to track celebrities' whereabouts in order to rob their homes.

Bula Quo!

British rock legends Status Quo are on their 50th year anniversary world tour, having sold over 100 million records worldwide. They land in Fiji with manager Simon and are joined by Caroline, a local posh girl on a never ending gap year. She cannot believe how ancient they are and does not hide it even when Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt suggest enough of the age reminders. After their gig in Lautoka Stadium, where Caroline thinks they have already written a song for her, and Simon tells her it is from the seventies, Francis and Rick escape the press and head off for a drink in a dockland bar. Here they see a murder organised by gangster Wilson and when they are found to have recorded evidence on their phone they spend the movie running for their lives. Nine new hit songs and nine reworked classics in what is an action packed and very funny guilty pleasure.

Buckles

People might think that belts are just another kind of complement, useful only to keep your trousers in their place. But we believe that belts are an important accessory. For example, we can choose one belt and depending on its style, design an special outfit. Belts come in numerous different styles. The leather, the webbing, the colour... every aspect of  them is special. 

Buckles are a very important part of belts as well. They have different sizes and shapes and they are made in all kind of materials. 

Today we would like to give to the buckles the importance that they deserve, showing you some of the new models that we have just received. Our favorites are the following.

SHOWCASE IRELAND 2013

This year we've been traveling around Europe from fair to fair. We've already told you about our experiences in IWA and BETA, but there are some more... We also have been in SHOWCASE IRELAND 2013. 

Showcase is Ireland's Creative Expo, now in its 38th year. It's the chance to stock up on unique, designed products in fashion, knitwear, crafts, gifts and home accessories that will give the competitive edge. 

If you missed this event, we hope to see you next year!

Billboard 2: Django

Undoubtedly, the style of western films have influenced some of  Hardy&Parsons’ products. If you like the cowboy style, for sure you’ll enjoy watching these movies. And, if you enjoy this type of film, you’ll probably be interested in our products.

Some of the best western films are those made in the 50’s in the US. However, there are some modern movies that approach cowboy life in a different way. The latest one is DJANGO. Tarantino has a great cast of actors, amazing photography and a beautiful and unusual soundtrack for this kind of movie. 

If you like the style of Django (Jamie Foxx) in this film, look at some of our best western style belts.

We hope you enjoy the amazing full soundtrack of Django!
