First "Hat Trick" for the Best of APLF Awards?

Argentina, besides producing what is arguably the best beef in the world and some of the best finished leathers, has a long history of great soccer players. Three which spring to mind are the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano, the great Diego Armando Maradona and today, the incomparable Lionel Messi. All these brilliant players scored "hat tricks" in their careers. (The term "hat trick" is popular English used to describe the scoring of three goals by one player in a soccer match). In a similar way an Argentinean leather goods company, displaying the same talent and quality as the soccer players produced by the Argentine Republic, could be on the verge of "scoring a hat trick" at the Best of APLF Awards. The company is DYMS from Buenos Aires managed by brothers Marcelo and Daniel Szarfmeser. DYMS won Best of APLF Awards at Fashion Access (FA) in March 2005 and 2007 and so far, in the four year history of the the Best of APLF Awards, is the only company to have received two Awards at the event. A third one could be in the offing at FA due to held from March 31st to April 2nd 2008 in Hong Kong. As Marcelo Szarfmeser commented to APLF News after winning Best Bag Prize at FA March 2007.

"It is important for our company to receive an award such as this, since FA is clearly a fair with international presence - both from the point of view of the products we offer as exhibitors as well as the variety of places from where the visitors come.   For this reason we are very satisfied that the jury chose us from so many exhibitors. Even more so since it is the second time we have won an award. At the same time we feel that it is our responsibility to continue offering our clients year after year the same high level of our collections.   Since our beginnings in 1985 we have been trying to give our clients a high end product, taking care of the quality of the leather used and the materials used, as well as the finishing. This is combined with a functional and attractive design and of course we complement it with efficient service and competitive prices."   Is a "hat trick" of Best of APLF Awards possible? With a totally independent selection of products from exhibitors at FA and an international jury of qualified fashion experts from around the globe, APLF ensures that judging is an impartial as international refereeing at the Soccer World Cup. Just as Argentine soccer clubs have been the most successful is the South American Club Championship known as the Libertadores Cup with a total of 21 triumphs since the competition began in 1960, DYMS is following this example of professionalism and excellence on the international leather goods circuit. There's more to Argentina than agriculture, beef, leather, Carlos Gardel, tango and soccer. It is also known for well designed and exquisitely manufactured leather goods with companies such as DYMS active on the international stage.
