Shinola is an American luxury lifestyle brand which specializes in watches, bicycles, and leather goods among items. Founded in 2011, its name is a nod to the former Shinola shoe polish company that was manufactured in the early- and mid-20th century. The current company is owned and operated by Bedrock Brands, a privately owned Texas investment group, and was launched by Tom Kartsotis, one of the founders of the Fossil Group retail conglomerate.
The original Shinola shoe polish brand was founded in Rochester New York in 1877, and went out of business in 1960. In 2001, the name Shinola was acquired by Bedrock Manufacturing, a venture capital firm based in Dallas, Texas (later rechristened as Bedrock Brands). Kartsotis wanted to create an American watch-manufacturing brand to rival Swiss-makers at a lower price point. The management at Bedrock Manufacturing chose the name "Shinola" when the World War II era colloquialism, "You don't know shit from Shinola," surfaced in a conversation. Unexpectedly, the joke generated a serious discussion about restoring the Shinola brand. Market surveys established that consumers—when faced with a choice of paying $5 for a pen from China, $10 for one made in the United States, and $15 for a pen made in Detroit—would be willing to pay a premium for the last one.
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Shinola/Filson flagship store in Minneapolis. It was my first chance to see the wide variety of wristwatches offered by these heavily hyped boutique brands. Tune in to get my first impressions of the equivalent of Budweiser making craft beer!

When it comes to luxury items, consumer minds are likely to think about some of the world’s fashion meccas. Think Paris. Milan. New York. But Detroit? One growing company would like to think so. With its line of watches, bikes, bags and other items, Shinola is aiming to have the Motor City known for more than its cars and financial woes. Special correspondent Roben Farzad reports.

In Episode 15 of #ASKTNH, Christian talks Shinola - and the watches coming out of the brand. We'll discuss the "made in Detroit" meaning, the value apparent in Shinola watches, and what it takes to break this trend of $200 watches selling for $600. _________________________ Theo&Harris is, first and foremost, a brand of style, quality, history, and detail; an online vintage wristwatch boutique, second.

We always said if we could build watches in Detroit, we could build anything in Detroit. We might actually be right. Introducing the Runwell Turntable, the first product from Shinola Audio, built in the US using US and imported parts.
June 2 (Bloomberg) --- Located in an old General Motors building in Detroit, there is a watchmaker on the verge of explosive growth. Shinola sold 50,000 watches last year and is on track to triple that number this year. With craftsmanship on par with its Swiss counterparts, the company says its $600-$1000 watches are a deal. Bloomberg goes inside the factory to find out the company's plan to become a full-blown purveyor of luxury goods.

Shinola was conceived with the belief that products should be built to last, and nobody does that better than the American workforce. We are proud to be based in Detroit, a community-minded city with a strong manufacturing legacy. One of our goals is to prove that high-quality products can be built in America again. At this time, our goods are comprised of parts sourced both domestically and internationally. Every day we work towards sourcing as many of our parts as possible in America. To do that, we stay focused on returning manufacturing expertise to the U.S., one step at a time. Learn more: http://www.shinola.com/

You got a snazzy new car in your driveway
Expensive new clothes on your back
Every short skirt on the highway
Has spent time in your bachelor pad
We dance and you look over my shoulder
And make eyes at somebody else
You swear that you're not, but you know that's a croc
Cause you only care for yourself
Your attitude stinks and I hate it
You're arrogant, cocky, and rude
You're selfish, conceited, and jaded
Everything's all about you
You think that I'm lucky to have you
You think you're so handsome, so what
I'm callin' you out cause I don't need this crap
I'm gettin' myself outta Dodge
Cause you don't know love from Shinola
With you love is not what I found
A woman needs someone to hold her
Not someone to just lay her down
I want someone I can count on
A cool headed, warm heart and shoulder
To cry on, rely on, today and from now on
But you don't know love from Shinola
You don't know love from Shinola
Oh but I gave you love and affection
But you never gave one iota
It was an early detection
That you don't know love from Shinola
You don't know love from shinola
You don't know what true loves about
Well you'll find your world growin' colder
When you're alone and without
So go on, lover boy, have a big time
Drink up on your Bourbon and cola
When you sober up you'll be *beep* outta luck
Cause you don't know love from Shinola
I'm in it for love, but you're just plain stuck
You don't know love from Shinola
You don't know love, you don't know love
You don't know love from Shinola
No, you don't know love from Shinola
You don't know love, you don't know love
