Spring Is Here


As I write this looking out on to a gloomy wet street - spring really does seem a long way off, though the hyacinths in our courtyard garden are just breaking in to bloom.  The fashion industry always way ahead of time has already started delivering spring/summer stock.  Our first delivery this year is from one of our favourite brands ‘Scotch & Soda’ and ’Maison Scotch’.  We are really excited about stocking this cool sought after Dutch label - having beaten off competition we were chosen as the appointed stockist in our area.  
Scotch & Soda make garments that suit each individual man; the garments are of high quality, rich in detail and best of all cool fashion at an affordable price.  The Amsterdam based design team has come up with an exciting SS12 collection designed with great focus on small details that the label is known for.  The collection has been inspired by New York street styles, Japans’ innovate design and the 
‘je ne sais quoi’ sense of style of Parisiennes.  The team say creating a collection is a journey of gathering souvenirs, wandering around antique markets looking for vintage treasures and making mental notes along the way.
For women’s SS12 Maison Scotch there are sun faded colours mixed with more fresh, bright and bold tones.  Splashes of colour sprinkled throughout the collection, on accessories & detailing to make each garment stand alone as something quite special.  Fabrics used are delicate washed silks, cotton silk blends, and natural linens and washed twills.  
Do look at Amsterdam Blauw SS12 shoot.  In this video favourite Scotch & Soda male model the extremely handsome Christian Goran talks about his life and passions.  He certainly is just more than a pretty face!
