Clothes drawn from where Europe dressed.
Eight capitals, twenty-four centuries. Every piece in the collection borrows its cut, its proportion or its cloth from a moment when one of these cities decided what the continent wore.

For a century or two each of these cities decided what the continent wore, then handed the job on. This is the line our patterns are drawn from.

Fewer styles, brought back each year
We do not chase a new silhouette every season. The patterns that work come back with a different palette, which is why the organic cotton shirt is in its third year in the catalogue and still selling.
It also means we can say something specific about every piece: what it is made of, what the fabric weighs, how it is finished, and what we do when a seam gives way.
