New arrival: Velour

Velour is another great label making a strong impression based around classic design ethos and adding their own personal touch. The Swedish based label have really added to the scene with a mix of vibrant, refreshing items and more played down and basic cuts. This release which is part of their spring/summer line features some really impressive outerwear with the Julian and Maximillian jackets along with some very interesting shirting and more impressive tees.

Dr Denim Jeansmakers

Astronauts know space, mechanics know cars and Dr Denim knows jeans.

August 2004 saw the first ever exhibit of Dr Denim jeans at a tradefair in Copenhagen. The orders soon rolled in and Dr Denim jeans began to occupy the shelves of some of Sweden’s most forward thinking boutiques.

The ethos is simple – sometimes things should look good just for the sake of it.

But good looks are alone is not the only reason that Dr Denim has become renowned the world over. Each pair of jeans is the prouct of over 35 years of family tailoring and top notch materials. Form, fit and function are given equal consideration to create a product that is well designed, durable and dependable.

The Dr Denim range now extends far beyond denim alone to include shirts, shorts, chinos, cardigans, dresses, jumpers, coats and even ties.

Dosh

The Dosh 09 series of wallets are finally out exploding into the world like a technicolour daydream, ambitiously moving light years ahead of their previous 07 / 08 collection. Balanced out by sharp design and an extra slim finish, the somewhat galactic colour combinations are a sign that Dosh are no flash in the pan, rather, a creative collective looking to move things forward. Let it be known that style, sophistication and mounds of creativity have been injected into these wallets and this is an exciting brand with a neon-bright future. Go Dosh.

Fifth Avenue Shoerepair

Started in 2004 by Swedish couple Astrid Olsson and Lee Cotter, FIFTH AVENUE SHOE REPAIR is dedicated to traditional tailoring, pattern making and the old ways of the trade. Their name, after an old shoemakers shop in London, pays tribute to the old fashioned quality craftsmanship that the label aspires to. While honouring traditions, the couple also find inspiration in breaking these same norms, with an androgynous stroke present in all their collections. Their designs focus on minimalism with intricate details beautifully incorporated.

Velour

1997 the clothes store “Nostalgi” opened in Göteborg, Sweden. The concept of the store was to combine the most interesting styles of fashion in an inspiring environment of art and design. “Nostalgi” became a meeting place for the city’s growing indie scene and was a natural inspiration for the brand Velour, founded in 2001. Velour is sold in Belgium, Holland, Luxemburg, Great Britain, Greece, Japan, Saudi Arabia and the USA.
