Valentine's Day is approaching, and the quest for the perfect gift for him aka your lover, your protector, your rock, your best friend, your king is near. Amidst the myriad of options, there's a timeless choice that transcends trends and makes a statement that lasts forever: a meticulously uniquely crafted timepiece. And not just any timepiece — we're talking about the extraordinary creations from A Few Wood Men, namely, The Chadwick, The Montez, and The Xavier.

In this blog below we highlight some of the most predicted fashion and color trends for 2024 and although it may be helpful in terms of how we style ourselves, our homes, or our workspaces the trends still won’t dictate what we do as a people. As we step into 2024, multiple trends are emerging to redefine men's fashion: double-breasted jackets, jumpsuits, and Bermuda shorts are just to name a few. 

The blog post celebrates Shanayla, the visionary owner of A Few Wood Men, through her exclusive interview with GaBiz Magazine. It highlights her journey of empowerment and inspiration, as she shares her vision for the brand rooted in personal experiences and influences from her family. 

At A Few Wood Men, we celebrate all father figures - uncles, godfathers, stepdads, and more. Our diverse collection embraces the beauty of fatherhood, just like the numerous branches of a family tree.

Appearance is everything! The right outfit will make a bold statement and boost your confidence, so you can make a move when opportunities arise - not shy away from them.

There are six essential guidelines for men when it comes time for them to match their outfits and accessories. Once you are able to function within the rules of coordination - pairing your wooden accessories with one of your fresh looks will definitely become a walk in the park.

Have you ever seen a well-dressed black man walking confidently down the street?

Think.

 Is he walking confidently, or is he just a well-dressed black man that you can see gave some added thought to his outfit? He’s both.

 

For a man, the ring you wear sends a message about who you are and can often symbolize social status, wealth, and association. A ring speaks out even before you do and it can say you are not available, you are a war veteran, you are an upcoming fashion mogul, you are a high value man with tremendous wealth, or even showcase your dedication and support to your fraternal brotherhood.

It's no secret that running a business can be hard...very hard. 

But the truth is, everything that we want in most cases is hard, takes time, and most importantly takes a ton of preparation...what we get easy usually doesn't last long. 

With that being said, I wanted to provide an update on What's Been Going On With A Few Wood Men. A Few Wood Men is a premium wooden watch collection with the sole purpose of providing a sounding board for black men through fashion, community, and representation. Our wooden watches and accessories are the perfect gifts for men that work hard and play later. 

In the last few months we have been able to make a few strides that have proven to us that our business is worth the effort. Here are details below:

1) On October 18th-19th we were able to participate in the Black Men's summit that took place in Chicago, Illinois. We were able to provide our wooden watch products to black men looking to expand their timepiece collection and expand their journey with personal development. 

2) In October of 2019, we were able to partner with an Installment Plan company, AfterPay, which will allow A Few Wood Men watch collectors to take part in installment plan payments for their wooden watches. This will allow A Few Wood Men watch collectors to make 4 Easy Interest Free Payments with little to no hassle. This allows for our customers to shop today and pay later! 

3) In October 2019, we also were able to partner with a local concierge company, Attyre, that provides same day delivery service to Atlanta residents. This allows our A Few Wood Men watch collectors to purchase their favorite watch and receive delivery within a few hours! It doesn't get better than that!

4) We were also featured in the Nashville edition of the Huami's digital magazine. (Pronounced Who Am I?) This allowed us to showcase our A Few Wood Men Wooden Watch timepieces as well as give more details about Who I Am as a business owner and entrepreneur.

5) Last but not least, we were selected to participate in the Village Market's Black Friday Fest! The Village Market has been crucial to A Few Wood Men's development as we had to start completely over when we relocated from Nashville, Tennessee to Atlanta, Georgia. The Village Market's Black Friday Fest will not be like any other event put on before and will be a 2 Day Event! It's probably one of the most anticipated events going on in Atlanta and we are excited to provide our wooden watches for men as the perfect gifts for this holiday season!

 

 

I hope this wasn't too lengthy and provided just enough information of what we are doing here at A Few Wood Men!
