We have been given the shutdown dates for our Portuguese Atelier and will align our summer holidays to suit. As such, we will be closed between the following dates (as will Portugal)
Few cloth merchants understand understated sophistication quite like Loro Piana, and the Mare collection continues that tradition with effortless precision.
Defined by light, airy fabrics, fluid silhouettes, and tactile refinement, it’s a collection to celebrate the important occasions in life
The cloth for this new bespoke deconstructed jacket from Drago comes from their “Sunlit” collection.
It’s not a colour that immediately jumps out, but once you start pairing it with other pieces, you realise its inherent strength.
It's that time of year where we are pleased to announce the arrival of the summer seasonal fabrics from Caccoipoli, Naples most beloved merchant of fine cloth.
Loro Piana’s brand new Proposte Abiti and Giacche summer collections have arrived.
These sought-after fabrics are available in limited amounts and sell out year on year.
Bold and wearable checks are placed alongside textured plains and masculine dogtooths. Presented in a palette of wearable and considered blues, browns and beiges. The airforce blues being a personal highlight.
Historically high twist fabrics could come across a tad scratchy. They have always performed well but not always had the most pleasurable tactile response. Often feeling a little board like and rigid.
It's been something we've been trying to solve, the issue of picking cloth with structure, breathability and performance, that is a lot softer, more pliable and more pleasurable against the skin.
It's something we felt that Airesco by Holland and Sherry could achieve so set about putting it to work….
Crispaire is a 10oz cloth rooted in the mid weight category with a firm, crisp handle (hence the name?). It struck me as very similar to Dugdale’s excellent New Fine Worsted but with a slight, but noticeable push on the design side. However the bunch feels like it was designed by tailors, for tailors, with an emphasis on quality, which feels like a very English trait. In this regard the styles are slightly more reserved but with room for some more exciting colours towards the back.
