Back from Berlin

We’re back from two days Berlin – two days at four fairs with too many brands doing all the same.
A few brands stayed in mind, a few details caught our eyes. Like the lovely striped espadrilles by Armor Lux, the crazy denim fabrics by Naked & Famous, the bleached and coated stuff from Nigel Cabourn, the beautiful mini garments by Levi’s Vintage Clothing and an amazing collection of bags and accessories by Mismo.
I’m looking forward to the fresh color palette of the next summer with bright yellow’s, oranges and reds contrasting with turquoise, mint greens and slate blue’s. And at last, without the checks.
Between all the fairs we managed to visit a few of our favorite shops and restaurants. We found some amazing frames at Lunettes Brillenagentur, the latest issues of the best magazines around at Do You Read Me?! and we very much enjoyed the good company and whiskey’s at Burg & Schield.
About the game we’ve played (and lost) against High Snobiety at the Jacked in Berlin event by Converse I won’t say too much… only that the place, the people and the ambiance was superb!

Thank you Berlin for treating us well!
