Xubaz Relocates to SoCal

Xubaz, an accessories line that features multi-functional unisex neckwear, has relocated to Santa Monica, Calif., from Tucson, Ariz.

The company was launched last summer by Bernt Kuhlmann, who created the neckwear as a way to facilitate travel. He was tired of carrying his heavy jacket around during business trips, so he designed Xubaz scarves, which are lined with six pockets to accommodate passports, keys, cell phones and other lightweight gear.

Priced to retail between $39 and $50, Xubaz has been placed at Hammacher Schlemmer and other specialty stores. The line is wholesaled through Eme Mizioch at the California Market Center, which can be reached at (323) 972-1363. For more information, visit www.xubaz.com. —Robert McAllister
