Located in the heart of Minnesota, Battle Lake Outdoors is dedicated to crafting the highest quality packs and bags for you, the customer. A family-owned business, they have built their reputation on this quality and on the finest in customer service.
Now Garbstore got together with Battle Lake Outdoors, for their first collaboration, on some backpacks.
Garbstore, Ian Paley’s new clothing line is in actual fact a three dimensional creative exercise compromising the men’s wear clothing line, a store as well as the Garbstore website. Ian Paley is the founder & designer of seminal British label One True Saxon, Senior Designer for Paul Smith Jeans, Red-Ear, R.Newbold and Thomas Burberry & Levi’s Strauss. Garbstore aspires to be and draws its influence from what can be coined unfamiliar Vintage. The Vintage references are both obvious and subliminal. This menswear Collection is based on Ian’s passion for casual clothing started to be produced after the Second World War with a more formal quality than before. The sensation of finding dead stock perfect vintage clothing and include some vintage parts or reference points, is one of his rules. All products are made using only vintage union machines and are in terms of their fit reproductions from genuine vintage clothing.
The principles of Garbstore lead them to work with Battle Lake Outdoors to create a series of perfectly crafted, high quality backpacks in a series of colorways. Garbstore will open their London store mid Fall and will launch their website in a couple of weeks. Thus here already a first taste of what there is to come. We are already excited to see where the brand is going and will definitely keep you posted on its progress.

Here we have a fun and useful new gadget by Goodenough UK. They now created these wooden eyeglass holders. Very practical and something we have not seen so far. Shaped like a nose, the holders are available in six different colors. Via Hypebeast.
These are now available at the Hideout.

Dover Street Market London has now received the new collections of their main designers including Comme des Garcons, Comme des Garcons Plus, Junya Watanabe. Also they are opening for this season a new Undercover space and a new Comme des Garcons x Visvim Shirt space, which is definitely something to look out for!

London womens brand Not Bad For A Girl is slowly becoming the European counterpart to Married To The Mob. We definitely like what we are seeing from the girls.
Now they did not only launch a few new t-shirts in their online store, they also preview an exciting collaboration that will hit shelves Spring/Summer 2008. They got together with one of our favorite UK brands, Addict, to create some Method Zip hoodies. Addict is known for good quality, technical and solid work – that paired with the design skills of Not Bad For A Girl will for sure result in some interesting pieces to look out for.
Check out the collaboration and the latest Not Bad For A Girl releases in detail after the jump.

A first series of t-shirts out of the latest MHI collection has landed on Sold Out. Most interesting in the series is for sure the Wood Wood collaboration t-shirt. Wood Wood is lately collaborating quite a lot, we just presented last week the Nike collaboration project with them.
