Making a stand for Garys
The Independent, The Metro, The Guardian (the list goes on) all recently reported that the UK would soon run out of ‘Garys’. The name has fast become one of the least popular today. Brooklyn-based designer Ilana Kohn has other ideas on this heading-for-extinction name though. She has bestowed it upon one of her most coveted SS15 pieces, serendipitously adding a hipper-than-hip…

Shoefingers. It’s a thing.
My dad loves shoes. Like me, and the rest of the population who’d rather eat beans for a month than forgo the thrill of new shoes, he always has. He has a distinctly “camp” side which has been well and truly nurtured by every female in the family (and I’m sure he won’t mind me…

All change for tschüss
Not only has it been rather quiet here at TTSS, but it’s also been tumbleweed central on the tschüss front too. This hasn’t been without intention though. Tschüss clothing is currently undergoing a makeover, with fresh designs and and a new direction coming in the new year. And while the clothing is being reimagined, we’re excited…

I’m running away to a typing pool
Not quite – but if anyone knows one as chic as Orla Keily‘s (and there’s the offer of a complimentary as-featured Orla mustard print frock involved) I’ll be donning my sneakers as fast as I can.

The sun is beaming over London, it’s almost the weekend again, and here at Tinker-Tailor, we’re getting ready to team up with The Vintage Event again for a duo of retro-filled shopping days. Needless to say, we’re pretty excited. On Saturday, The Vintage Event returns to Streatham’s Pratts & Payne where there’s a huge beer garden…

We can also share with you that we’re likely to be joining forces with The Vintage Event once again (not 100% confirmed…

Introducing tschüss!
It was a cold January day strolling through the Marais in Paris when our label tschüss! first came to life. This was four years ago, when a vintage blouse bought within the architectural district inspired big things. Fast forward to May 2013, excusing the procrastination, if you will, and tschüss! – a line of handmade one-of-a-kind blouses,…

What I want most
Yes, this is a unabashed materialistic post, but having just clapped eyes on Preen by Thornton Bregazzi’s pre-fall frocks, I’m quite literally salivating. Is it wrong to will on *winter? I think not. *Update: the second dress – my favourite – is from the spring summer collection. I shall want no more!

“Sometimes love isn’t firecrackers, sometimes love just comes softly”
The focus of my recent admiration has been well and truly honed in on one brand and hush now, don’t tell anyone, please, but it’s a wedding brand – The Lane. It’s their mixture of well-chosen photography that you can relate to, plus words that simply charm my inner hippie to the ground. I very…

Telling tales of adventure
A few years back I met a tall, utterly modest girl named Hannah. She soon scurried off from the brand we worked for, swapping the London 9-5 to cross continents upon the back seat of a sand-sprayed motorcycle. She explored the sites of, and drew inspiration from, her surroundings and with nonchalant strength, endured –…

Arm candy (that’s ethical, too)
This little treat arrived in the post today. A travelling, trackable wrist accoutrement that’s not only ethically-sourced and utterly beautiful, but is also designed to encourage global acts of kindness. Band 4 Hope are responsible for its conception – a team that’s formed of the fair trade warriors Lachlan McWilliam, Miriam McWilliam, Hamish McWilliam, and Lucie Gait.…

Wishes can come true (so I keep telling myself)
Shameless hint-dropping for the birthday ahead, but heck, complete with my birth stone sapphire, this Zoe and Morgan skull ring may as well have my name on it. Note to the boy: don’t pass out when you look at the price tag, ok?
