My former intern Timo Demollin designed and hand screen printed a series of 4 different heavy weight cotton totes, exclusive for Another Shop. The bags are made in a limited edition of 10, all numbered, all printed on both sides and now available in the new Another Shop.
Above the most colorful one of the series: AOC – AnOtherCompany. Timo used the old VOC logo and turned up side down, together with the Dutch flag – hand dyed – and the roman numerals MDCII -1602 – the date the VOC was established.
A nice bag to cary your magazine’s, iPad and others with you on your way to the beach, available at Another Shop.
Yesterday I was introduced by the official apple accessories brand COTEetCIEL and I was really impressed! Sure, I will not give up my lovely TravelTeq, but can imagine taking this one on my two day trip to cary my computer, accessories and wires with me.
Made by Paper Rain, designed by the creative team behind Damir Doma COTEetCIEL is almost completely produced with durable materials (from recycled PET bottle fabric to cotton canvas and high grade neoprene). I’d say the ultimate bag for the modern nomad.
In the 5th issue of Journal de Nîmes we already showed you a few ways of knotting your tie and folding you pocket square. Since the day we made the illustration I was focused on ties and since than I saw them everywhere. We’ve made a little list of our todays favorites and my former intern Mia Porter put together a nice article, sourced from wikipedia and all over the place and came up with this. A ‘little’ history of the tie, which goes back to the mid 17th century, and our favorite ties in a row.
Last week I came across this really nice men’s leather accessories label from Spain by Gonzalo Fonseca called Steve Mono. The products are made in spain by a small manufacturer, all with a very unique and distinguished style. Like it a lot!
For the rainy days to come Tenue de Nîmes is working on a collaboration with London Undercover, the beautiful umbrella label by designer Jamie Milestone. Our friend and genius illustrator Hiyoko Imai is working on an illustration for this special project and we can’t wait to show you the results. Here’s just a little preview. More soon!
Yesterday I wrote about the locker on the bank deposit bag and why it wasn’t being used anymore. But it’s still in production! Chase Browder pointed me on this bag by Freemans Sporting Club and Billy Kirk with the same lock. ‘The Bank Bag features is an authentic US made bank bag with a functioning lock. Constructed from tan waxed cotton twill and features include: brown harness leather, Swiss Riri zippers, brass rivets, interior zipper pocket, and blaze orange waterproof lining. Hand-made in the USA.’ So good!
The fantastic accessories and object makers Black Sheep & Prodigal Sons will open their first shop tomorrow. ‘Occulter will house selected works from the Black Sheep & Prodigal Sons archive as well as pieces designed exclusively for the shop. The location will also host the unveiling of new collections and debut collaborations with other eclectic New York talents, starting with Bryan Collins.’
Another good reason to visit New York! Occulter by Black Sheep & Prodigal Sons, 83 Orchard Street, New York, NY 10002.
We very much love these Eyeglass Cases by Tanner Goods. Based off a mid-60’s US Military standard issue case but updated with a few key details and soon available in Amsterdam at the Red Wing Shoes store… Stay tuned.
We saw this during our Duluth Pack factory visit last week – The Urban Outfitters x Duluth Pack collaboration. The lovely little Hiking Pack comes in two colors, blue and red with custom blond leather details. This limited edition pack is only available at Urban Outfitters (and online). And there are coming more nice collaborations with Duluth Pack and other brands in the coming months, so keep your eyes open!
A beautiful update by Erik Schedin: Shoes, glasses and a lovely updated version of his boat cover fabric tote bag. ‘The shoes where designed in 2004 and were emblematic as a starting point for erikschedin.com in the summer of 2008. They where at that time only produced in one size, 44, but will now be available in sizes 41-45.’ Available at erikschedin.com and at Dover Street Market. Well done!
I’m a huge fan of the Soulland Adler Fedora, the beautiful hat, handmade at Stig Andersen aka ‘The Hat-maker’, a small factory in Copengagen. Alken Film and Nahm Studio made this lovely short film about the production process. Enjoy!
We wrote about them before, but just received a major update from Commune de Paris 1871. One of the new items in store is this limited edition (60 copies) exclusively created for “Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche” silk scarf. Discover and enjoy all the nicely illustrated objects at Commune de Paris here…
A bunch of beautiful new leather accessories over at Makr Carry Goods. We very much like the simple natural canvas tote, ‘perfect for a day at the beach, trip to the market or daily city use.’
I always wanted to paddle the lakes of Canada, enjoying the wilderness. And if I will go there, I’ll definitely buy some goods at Frost River. A little tent, the Camp Kitchen Pack and probably the Canoe Thwart Bag to carry all my stuff along the river… But meanwhile, far away from the wilderness, I’m thinking about the Overland Garment Bag and maybe one of the Bike Bags while enjoying the nicely illustrated goods on their website.
When you’re a regular reader you might think that we have some kind of a bag-fetishism. We’re hunting all day for the best, most practical, good looking and well crafted men’s accessories. Well, at the moment we believe we found something that will make us to end this search. A bag made of cognac-colored Florentine Vachetta leather, hand-made in Italy, bag-by-bag, with all the needed compartments and cases. Finished with water resistant nylon lining and an outside strip to attach to the trolley for comfortable traveling… We’re talking about the TravelTeq Trash. A classic bag ready for the 21st century. We’re proud to carry this beauty in Anothershop! Read the rest of this entry »
Finally had the time to do a major update on Anothershop. We are very proud to carry the handmade TravelTeq Trash 15″ bag in Fox Red (will feature it later this weekend here on Anothersomething). A super nice little notebook with two envelope compartments, black laser graphed cover and packed in screenprinted envelope all made by the Belgium designer Geoffrey Brusatto. Two issues of Men’s File, a modern magazine tracing the roots of style. (will feature it later this weekend here on Anothersomething). And this nice little book ‘Rules for my Unborn Son’ by Walker Lamond. One man’s instructions for raising a thoughtful, adventurous, honest, hardworking, self-reliant, well-dressed, well-read, well-mannered young gentleman.
And the best things are yet to come! For example the Roberu iPhone case, the ShapeMaker by Millergoodman, Some/Things issue 2 and much more. Start shopping — Stay tuned…
A small business-card sized booklet with 30 cards. These small cards can be taken out and put anywhere someone might find them. In a book in the library or a bookstore, in a bag of an unknown passenger, in the mailbox of your neighbour.
