tonight’s set list

one of each · when it’s gone, it’s gone

No sizes, no colourways, no restock emails. Each piece is cut from offcuts and dead-stock silks, so the next one simply can’t be this one.

Posted in a brown envelope with a typed tag and the date it was finished. Free London courier on Fridays — in time for Friday.

doors at ten · strictly no plus-ones

the guest list

One letter when a new batch is finished — usually a Thursday, usually late. First look before anything goes up. Nothing else, we promise.
