Pull & Bear

We’ve seen quite a bit of wearable lifestyle brands out there, but there are  few that stand out from the rest. Pull & Bear is one of them. With it’s head offices established in Spain it has a European flavor but is very conscious of Western fashion. I stumbled upon their lookbook recently and it just felt right. They use great patterns; florals, nautical patterns, and they definitely turn towards classic layers and cuts. I also love their video lookbook, dreamy summer beach life spiced with a dash of poetic mystery. Macro lens waves works well to tell their story as well.


Witness Mowgli Surf

Holy smokes this gear is fun. Colors, washes, dyes, prints, cuts all scream, “Don’t take shit so serious!” Although Mowgli Surf  has playfulness in mind they haven’t forgotten the importance of comfortability, and looking good. The cuts are great (tried on a pair of the sweatpants at Thalia Surf), and they feel fashion forward, but not over the top. You can’t be afraid of color with this California made apparel line, but why would you when your brand is inspired by The Jungle Book and what Mowgli represents; a crazy kid swinging from trees, full of freedom and fun.

Love Jules Leather

We are on a bit of a customized apparel/footwear/accessory trip these days, and Love Jules Leather is no exception. Hailing from Whistler B.C. the founders, creators, artists, Jules and Josh seem to have a knack for what they do as they’ve been at it for four years. Their material mash-up as well as their fantastic color combo’s keep the Pendleton look alive and it still feels pretty fresh.

“Everything we do, is by hand, no machines (other than a century old Singer, and a wood burning pen) by our four hands… so we can guarantee you each and every piece is one of a kind ’cause our hands are only so good!”

Digging the energy of this pair of craftsmen, and we love supporting this kind of story.
You can find their stuff on Etsy and pick up a pair for yourself here: Love Jules Leather


Witness Russ Roe

A good friend turned us on to this “hand made one of a kind thrift shop recycled clothing” online store. Hard not to like Russ Roe’s feel and it kind of seems like the apparel version of Labyrinth Ear, lots of character, low fi, alternative, and really well put together.
