Cayman Python Collection by Graphic Image

When it comes to our leather albums and accessories, we always offer the traditional or “safe” colors, but when fashion trends change – as they often do – we like to mix things up a bit.  So, for those of you who like to be bold, daring or just a little bit different, we will periodically introduce our latest fashion swatches. Some will have staying power, some will be a passing phase – it will be up to you to decide!

Today, in honor of this week's Brand of the Week, we feature the Cayman Python Collection brought to you by Graphic Image.

This stylish python-embossed leather (genuine leather that has been embossed to look like a textured python skin) comes in cool, deep jewel tones of Blue, Purple and Magenta, along with a rich chocolate Brown and a cool Grey.  It is available as a leather option for a wide variety of Graphic Image items, ranging from albums to picture frames to photo envelopes to luggage tags to iPad sleeves.

And the winner of Giveaway #4 is....

Very happy to see all the comments & retweets that we racked up over the weekend! I had a feeling that the Raika album would prove to be a much-coveted prize. Thanks to everyone who submitted entries. We have drawn a name at random and the big winner of the Raika Leather Brag Book is....

Well, we've reached the final giveaway for this week (there will be more in the near future, I assure you!), and it is a good one. One of the most popular brands on our site is Raika, maker of luxury Italian leather albums, scrapbooks, journals and accessories of all kinds. These products are of the highest quality and handcrafted in a variety of beautiful leather styles and colors. So, today, we'd like to give one lucky winner his or her own Raika Leather Brag Book, made with an impressive Bronze Crocodile deep-embossed antique leather and able to hold 30 4x6 photos (retail value $85.50). Take a look:

Contests, Giveaways and Prizes, Oh My!

Who doesn’t love getting free stuff?  I’ll let you in on a little secret…giving stuff away is almost as much fun as being on the receiving end.  We love it so much that we are going to do more of it.  AND, by helping us spread the word about Per Annum, our cool products and, of course, our random giveaways, you will have multiple opportunities to enter:

1. Be a Follower.  Follow @PerAnnum on Twitter.  This will count as one contest entry, and you will be one of the first to know about future contests! If you are already following us, we will give you an automatic entry into our first giveaway in November 2010.
2. Like us on Facebook. This will count as one contest entry, and you will be one of the first to know about future contests! If you are already a fan, we will give you an automatic entry into our first giveaway in November 2010.
3. How to get multiple entries per contest:  For each contest (unless noted otherwise), you can retweet the news on Twitter, share it on your Facebook page and/or post it to your blog.  Are you a part of an online community that would be interested in us?  Post about our contest in a forum for another contest entry. Once you’re done spreading the news, come back to our blog post for that particular contest and tell us what you did via comment.

For most contests, winners will be selected at random.  All entries will be entered into an excel spreadsheet and using a random number selector, we will choose the winner.  Winners will be announced on our blog at the designated time.
