-In partnership with creative agency Fred & Farid Los Angeles, French bag company Longchamp has launched the second chapter of “It is not a bag. It is Le Pliage.” with two new spots. One is for Le Pliage Re-Play, a new, upcycled bag made with remaining fabric from Longchamp ateliers. The “Replay” film shows two cheerful women as they unspool the ends of fabric rolls to craft Le Pliage Re-Play bags. The duo creates marionette-style figures that hold their new bags and dance around with them, twirling as the group showcases their new creations.

-Geletka+, a Chicago-based, creative agency, worked with Carbone Fine Food to invent the first pasta sauce tap. A traditional beer tap was transformed into a spout that spews tomato-base sauces. The agency and brand gutted the inner workings of the tap, built custom valves, added heating and cooling in a self-contained machine they like to call the Pasta Tap. Carbone Fine Food brought the Pasta Tap, as the first of many planned events, to the Unfancy cocktail party in New York earlier this summer.
