Shopping for Spring is the Cure for Winter Blahs!

Shopping for Spring is the Cure for Winter Blahs!

We’re hoping Spring is just around the corner and we’re here to help you get ready! Winter clothes can cover up those unsightly and extremely uncomfortable nickel allergy rashes, but now is the time to prepare for warmer weather!

The cold weather months have had us hard at work as you’ll see with the introduction of a lot of new products and trendy new budget-friendly belt line.

Here’s a quick rundown on what you may have missed since the last time you visited!

New Nickel Free Dress Belts! Head uptown with Uptown Black, Uptown Brown, and Uptown Tan Dress Belts. Our long-time favorite belts the Black Dress Belt and Brown Dress Belt have gotten leather upgrades and now are offered in two trim-to-fit sizes, Regular which fits up to size 44” or Extra Large for big and tall sizes up to 50”.

Nickel Free Work Belts! We’ve changed out the leather on two of our Signature Series Work Belts, so take a look at the Titanium Work Belt II (Brown) and the Titanium Work Belt II (Black). Then we added a third choice, the Titanium Work Belt (Distressed Gray). Each of these belts has a pure titanium buckle and full grain leather straps that have been handcrafted in the USA. These belts are so strong and durable they have a lifetime guarantee.

Metal Free Carbon Fiber Belts! Yes, we have even more! These great-looking belts are so popular with frequent fliers and those with high security jobs, that we’re always adding more to this collection! Plus, anyone simply looking for trending style in a lightweight buckle will love these.

Blue Leather to match your denims? Yes! These are limited editions, so if this suits your warm weather attire, better buy these nickel free blue leather belts today! Bluerock Distressed Leather Belt and Blue Ridge SWP Leather Belt are perfect for spring and summer wear!

Nickel Zero®? This is our new economy belt line developed with the idea to have something for everyone. There are many people who wear the same belt every day, making a more expensive and durable belt the perfect choice. But there are just as many who like to change around based on their wardrobe and mood of the day! So, Nickel Zero is a lower cost option! Starting with three casual belts, the Pathfinder, the Outback, and the Peacekeeper and one dress belt, the Slick City Black Belt, Athena Allergy plans to add more of these belt throughout the year.

Here’s an important note: as temperatures rise, so do incidences of nickel allergy rash. The reason is simple, perspiration allows the nickel from your metal products to be more readily absorbed by your skin. Don’t cut corners, trust Athena Allergy - every product is guaranteed for life to never test positive for nickel. If there is no nickel, there can be no nickel allergy rash!

Cure those winter blues by planning your springtime wardrobe, or maybe go ahead and buy for all those upcoming occasions when a nickel free gift would really be appreciated! Happy Nickel Free Shopping!

It’s Fall and It’s Free Shipping!

It seems the months of October and November have really stepped up in their activity levels. Soon, we’ll all be in full mode holiday frenzy.

Before that happens, take a deep breath and enjoy all the beauty and special family times that autumn has to offer.

Here at Athena Allergy, we want you to know that we consider you as part of our family! The Athena companies got their start here, at the mothership! Many of you have been with us through those years, while some of you may just be learning about us today. Whatever your situation, we are so glad you are here.

If you’re not already aware, we got our start about fifteen years ago when we came to the disheartening realization that it was nearly impossible to find truly nickel free goods. We wanted to offer a brand our customers could trust and a guarantee that we will always honor. Nickel Smart® products are now known around the world and are relied upon to never test positive for nickel. That’s our guarantee to you!

As a special pre-holiday gift, we are offering Free Shipping for our US customers!  (No discount codes necessary!)

We think you’ll find some of our latest belt and jewelry styles will be coveted gifts for years to come! Pictured here is our Cold Mountain Gray Distressed Leather Belt. The nickel free bottle-opener buckle is sure to bring a smile, while the belt itself has an amazing look and comfortable feel.

One of our belts that has been with us since near the beginning of our time has recently gotten a leather upgrade, our Black Wide Pin Belt II now features a full grain leather strap.

For a special holiday gift, you can’t go wrong with one of our metal free Carbon Fiber Belts. We particularly love the way the 100% carbon fiber buckle accents the rippled brown full grain leather strap in our Carbon Fiber Wide Pin Brown Belt! Versatile and trend-setting, this zero metal belt will make security clearance a breeze!

We hope this season finds you happy, healthy, and living the nickel free life!

Cheers!

Nickel Free Holiday Helpers!

Nickel Free Holiday Helpers!

Let the shopping begin! Nickel free shopping at Athena Allergy has gotten so much easier and lots more fun with the addition of countless belts and earrings that have the added allure of being handcrafted in the USA!

If you are looking for gifts that will show your friends and loved ones that you really care, then show them that you remember that their nickel allergy creates a valid concern for them. They simply aren’t able to wear those earrings that cause an unsightly as well as extremely uncomfortable nickel allergy rash. Or, perhaps the guys on your list don’t even recognize that their nickel allergy or metal allergy has created the abdominal rash right around their belt buckle. Be the hero and buy the gift that saves the day!

Nickel free earrings are always appreciated. We’ve discovered even our non-allergic friends love getting these sparkly dichroic glass or beautifully beaded earrings. Perfect for holiday wear, the red Interstellar Nickel Free Posts and Rodanthe Nickel Free Dangle Earrings are showing up at lots of holiday gatherings.

We also don’t know any guys who haven’t appreciated the Cold Mountain Black Belt. This handcrafted belt strap features a functional Bottle Opener Buckle! If you’re a regular Athena Allergy shopper, then let us point you to a few new belts (and there are a lot this year!).  Topping our list of popular belts are the Carbon Fiber Wide Pin Brown and The Stealth Black Belts. Both of these belts feature supple handcrafted leather straps with non-metallic carbon fiber buckles. These belts are making life easier for frequent fliers, those with high security jobs, and anyone with nickel allergy or any metal allergy. They are truly zero metal belts, as the buckle is 100% carbon fiber and it has been hand sewn to the strap, eliminating the need for metallic snaps or closures.

Distressed leather remains super popular this year and now we are offering many belts in both black distressed leather (Smoky Mountain Distressed Leather Belt and Smoky Mountain Titanium Distressed Leather Belt) along with the more traditional brown distressed leather, for example the Roan Mountain Distressed Leather Belt or the Titanium Wide Pin Distressed Leather Belt.  We now offer distressed leather belts specifically designed for women: Distressed Rose Nickel Free Belt, and for children/tweens/teens: Child’s Roan Mountain Distressed Leather Brown Belt.

Obviously, we could go on and on, but we are confident that once you begin your holiday shopping at Athena Allergy, you'll find exactly what you were looking for!
