Etre Autumn/Winter 2012

It's fun looking ahead to S/S 2013 but remember, Autumn 2012 has just started! Why not live and shop in the present? Let's enjoy the moment with Etre's new lookbook. Etre, a London based design agency, has published their A/W 2012 collection, inspired by understated but characterful traditional British work wear. In 2007, Etre were inventive in their development of the Etre Touchy and Fivepoint Gloves. These simple and elegant gloves allow you to use modern touchscreen devices while keeping your hands warm. Genius, right? I sure could of use those last winter.

              About the utilitarian apparel collection, "...includes traditional fishermen's sweaters, knitted to a pattern familiar to generations of fishermen's wives and customised with motifs originating in the centuries-old fishing communities of Polperro and Staithes...Work wear jackets are fabricated from 100 percent Melton wool, manufactured by a 150-year-old family business in West Yorkshire. Gansey sweaters are knitted from the finest 5-ply worsted wool, spun and dyed in Yorkshire mills that have been turning out the same material for generations. Leather gloves are made by a family business established in 1944, now one of the last surviving British glove manufacturers. Satchels and holdalls, crafted from the same high quality Melton wool as the jackets, are fabricated by a small Cornish leatherwork company" -- Etre

Colors of navy and rustic red as well as simplistic white stripes were prominent. There are other colors available such as sage, black, camel, charcoal, and olive. You can check out the lookbook here! A little reminder, Etre ships around the world :)
