Begg, J. Girdwood and The Rake (Chapal, Sciamat, 100 Hands, Norman Vilalta...)
The Rake’s online shop has grown so much in the past year that it’s been hard to squeeze things into their pop-up space. Even though they’re focusing on exclusives. The nice thing about this range is there’s something for everyone. So even ...

Baudoin & Lange women's shoes (and Luca Faloni, and Honorific)
A few menswear shoemakers have expanded into women’s shoes in recent years. These shoes will generally be a lot better made than the other women’s shoes in the market, and not necessarily more expensive (given the designer mark ups on the latte...

Edward Sexton ready-to-wear: Hollywood-top trousers, shirts and knitwear
It’s been so fun swapping in brands every week or two during the pop-up shop. A lot of work, but fun: it feels like a different place, a slightly different atmosphere, every weekend. On Wednesday this week we exchanged The Armoury for Drop93 - ...

Shopping in person at Marrkt, York
I was in York last week. It’s where my wife grew up, and I’ve been dozens of times over the years, though not for the past three or four. The centre has a lot more closed shops since Covid; it’s quite sad. But I did notice one big new shop on P...
