Previewed here a couple of months ago, we give you a more detailed look at the collaboration between Medicom Toy, Porter and Maharishi on a luggage collection. Each partner contributed a different aspect to the project. Medicom Toy produced the fabrick of the bags, Maharishi provided the camouflage design and Porter the silhouettes and contruction of the bags. The outcome is a small collection consisting of a technical backpack, a tote bag, wallet and digicam/cellphone pouch.

The Medicom Toy x Porter x Maharishi collection is now available at Ships Jet Blue.

While Maharishi’s mainline remains a favorite, their footwear program remains hit or miss. The latest to step out of the firm is the “Sequoia.” Employing herringbone tweed ankle panels, the boot transforms from mid to high top. Maharishi has worked with Po-Zu to make these shoes completely organic. And, they are down to the box. As a mid, the shoe gives that vibe. The unstructured look and feel of organic footwear. Unlike some competition, the shaping is a little more robust, and the added ankle portions set it apart on the style front. Retailing for $255, it’s above the fray in price point as well.

Maharishi and Po-Zu got together to to create a entirely biodegradable boot. Coconut fiber foot matress gradually moulds to the shape of your foot. It provides excellent breathability to keep your feet dry and good insulation for both hot and cold climates.

Also it is nice that you can wear the boot in different ways – all the way closed or with the flap down, showing off the nice plaid wool lining.

The Maharishi x Po-Zu Woodland Boot is now available at Goodstead.

City Magazine will soon again be holding their annual travel photo contest. At the same occasion a special collaboration collection by Globetrotter and maharhishi will be auctioned off, with proceeds going to the Conservation International charity.

“Adorned with military colors and symbols, the sleek and sturdy pieces are sure to survive any journey (and perhaps you as well).” Via Refinery29.

There is no word whether or not the collection will ever go on sale, outside of the auction.

Today we give you a first look at the Maharishi Fall/Winter 2008 collection. Once again the UK brand shows their expertise in craftsmanship in this collection, presenting a lot of great coats and pullovers. The details are stunning, as usual of course the embroideries most impressive.

Take a close look at key pieces of the Maharishi Fall/Winter 2008 collection after the jump.

It seems a bit early, but for some reason MHI will be releasing a couple of Spring/Summer 2009 items in Japan in the near future. Most interesting we found the Viet Slip-On. 

Coming in two canvas colorways, the shoe is already special for being a mid top slip-on, something one only sees rarely. Also the closing mechanism is something new to us. The choice of materials and colors is very balanced, making the Viet Slip-On a model to be looking out for.

Dedue will get them in on the 24th of September.

Medicom has done interesting product with their Fabrick collection in the past, but we cannot remember something as useful as a nicely designed camera strap. It’s one of those things that nobody really considers, but in the end of the day, why not have a nice looking one. 
In this case they present two sizes of a camera strap designed by London’s Maharishi. They added some of their tiger stripe camouflage to it.
It will be released on the 22nd of July.

Here we have an interesting Sandal that Pozu made for Maharishi. The interesting part about the sandal is, that pieces are not sewed together, but are only folded. The look of the sandal stays very raw, we like how the upper pieces is large and covers most of the foot.
The sandal is now available at the FL Shop.

JC Report has a fine interview with Maharishi’s Hardy Blechman about this company’s long history of sustainable design. JC Report “caught up with Blechman … to chat about how his sustainability ideas were initially received, the evolution of the brand’s infamous Snopants and his forthcoming autumn/winter collection.”
