Commute
- Twill zip jacket€149
- Wide black chinos€95
- Concrete Low€145
A low-top in recycled suede and ripstop on a stitched gum sole, made by a two-person workshop in Porto. Three hundred pairs, no restock.
Shot on the morning commute, the night bus and a wet market Saturday. Every piece is on the rails now.
Every new label sends us samples first. Our staff wear them to work, in the rain and on the bike for a month. What survives goes on the rail; what does not goes back to the maker with our notes.
