From great love comes great inspiration and beautiful creations.
A well thought out strategy or just a delightful coincident? When we held an in-service training session for staff purposes the other day we realized that most of the brands we carry for women represents a unique love story. Isabel Marant is married to Jerome Dreyfuss, Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi is also married and has their “babies” Preen and Preen Line. The beautiful jewellery from Iosseliani is designed by Roberta Paolucci and Paolo Giacomelli who work and live together. Anne Fleur and Roxane who are the masterminds behind the casual chic French label Roseanna are close friends since childhood. The colour palette they have chosen for their A/W 2010 collection with burgundy, mustard, navy and off white could as well have been handpicked directly from one of our true sources of inspiration when it comes to be dressed for success this time of the year… the 1970´s movie success “Love Story”, written by Erich Segal and directed by Arthur Hiller.
Isn´t that really what it´s all about when it comes to creating good solid products that aims to fill a need?
Regardless to if you´re hiking your way up to the top of the world, going canoeing for the weekend or just strolling up to the Nitty Gritty store at Krukmakargatan we are sure that you like your feet to be dry and comfy. May we suggest a pair of Yuketens , they have a commitment to quality, based on American hides and genuine American craftsmanship. Japanese Yuki and his team of craftsmen make one of the highest regarded ranges of shoes on the market and they often use the sole that are synonym with good quality shoes, the one from VIBRAM.
To be honest with you we don’t really comprehend how something that is brand new, box fresh and just left the factory could be “original vintage” as imprinted on the swing tickets to the very fine Gitman Bros. Vintage Shirting that just landed at Nitty Gritty. However, these pre-washed, custom fitted, American sport shirts are among the finest we’ve seen in a long time. And in the end, one can never have too many oxford fabric shirts hanging in the wardrobe, right…?
