descendant denim have a new range arriving this week and a nice new web to go with it. peep it below.
Good denim is timeless and this season workshop go vintage with some nice worn bits. The thing that seems to be going crazy this season is navy stripped tees and knitwear. I was wondering whether the Coco Chanel film had anything to do with it. There is a scene where Coco goes to the seaside and is inspired by the fishermen in their big woolen coats and navy stripped tees. I don’t mind, they look great and it’s such a good look.
Helen Cherry has dropped the first batch of winter goodness including some beautiful dresses. always sexy and sophisticated and so damn hot.
Paula Coulthard is a textile artist and designer who made a name for herself creating up-cycled woolen homeware items and really nice hand made woolen coats and every year her work gets better and we reckon she is onto something with these Victorian inspired slips and dresses. Nice and light and loose and they look good on any body… easy. We have a few left but they won’t last long.
Taniko by David Trubridge is a slim pendant light shade inspired by the woven patterns on cloaks and walls made by Maori. The shapes are designed so there is minimal waste from the CNC cutting process. Made from natural or caramel bamboo plywood and nylon cable ties.
