Keira Knightley's Topless Request: 'Don't Make My Boobs Bigger'
Posting this not because you can see Kira Knightley naked, but because we're on the same page as her. A lot of what you see in the world of fashion is all lies.
We want to change that with our brand which is why we'll always stay true to ourselves. Ask us where our stuffs from, and we'll tell you. Ask us what % profit we make, we'll tell you. Simple as that.
Massive respect to Kira for this.

Buttons, buttons, buttons!
Meet one of the amazing ladies from our factory in Switzerland.
EVERY button in our collection will be applied by her using this pretty efficient, and pretty cool piece of machinery. I was gob smacked and how quick it was! Check it out. BAM, done. NEXT!
When we say our collation is hand made, we absolutely mean it. We know each lady personally, and we can tell you who made each piece, as each lady in a specialist in her own area. No production line bull shit. We've got a professional and expert team crewing each piece, truly by hand.

Behind the scenes from FW15 shoot - Our 100% Italian Wool Cape
We're looking ahead to next FW15. Our sales campaign for next season starts this December and will be open until March 2015. One of my favourite pieces from the collection I designed in this 100% Italian wool cape.
It's made from a degrade fabric in tones of mixed greys and black, produced to the highest quality from Modena, Italy.
The cape is the hand made using organic cottons from our factory in Switzerland. The ladies that make our clothes have over 200yrs worth of combined sewing experience between them so you can assure the quality really can be seen and felt.
We're taking pre-custom made orders now.
If you would like to inquire for the cost (both retail and wholesale) drop us a message on FACEBOOK.
Cheers,
Xander
