Design Director for Levi’s XX, Miles Johnson, sits down to discuss the SS13 Levi’s Made and Crafted collection.

A favorite new addition to the assortment, Barena, is now available in store and online. Inspired by the versatile and functional clothing worn by inhabitants of the Venetian lagoon territory, Barena reinterprets pieces found in museums, antique markets, and books. Fabrics used for each collection focus on high quality natural textiles specific to the region and are often specifically produced for the brand. Every garment is then produced in the Venetian inland.

Recent addition to our print assortment, B magazine, is a monthly publication from Korea that focuses solely on one brand for each issue.  Examining and documenting a brand from its beginnings to current existence, the still young publication has already covered a handful of our favorites, including Penguin and Bic. Our current offering from B magazine is available now in store and online in the Bookshop.

Monocle takes us inside one of our favorite stores in Tokyo, Tokyu Hands, which hosts an enviable assortment that often appears to cover nearly every imaginable category.
