Briefcase in point



     If you follow us, you will quickly learn we are advocates of all things androgynous and borrowed from men’s wardrobe. It’s fair to say, we will probably never get over boyfriend’s t-shirts, blazers, shoes and...a good ol’ school briefcase - it is one of those plain perfect dandy evergreens, that we can treasure the whole life, and then, one day in a far-fetched future, will pass on ours chic grandgirls (/grandboys, lord knows). Satchels come in a variety of colors, we rather opt for traditional dark and muted ones, neons are spectacular though, especially for nights out (on the plus side, with a safety satchel across your body you won't get run down) We recommend you to e-visit vintageshop. They are stocked with wonderful both vintage and 'with label' goodies. Take a peek below for our picks:

Monika Ptaszek for Men S/S12

It’s a mix & match well put together: feminine see-through, lace and sheer (those lovely quirky tops looking like swinging 60’s meet alter-boy dress), punk elements (tartan jackets, trousers and shirts, studded embroidery on sleeves) and floral boots (boy, those perfect boots). Bright and colourful patchwork sweatshirts were very refreshing ingredient – polish razzle-dazzle. They were like a cheerful, vibrant, folk version of grey sporty ones (which by the way, in our home Poland are often associated with a beer & golden chain macho, or hanging out in the backyards).

So, there’s a lot going on in this collection, but somehow it looks cool and relaxed, pieces are layered efforlessly. Guys look a bit androgynous, and a lot rock’n’roll. Those ensembles have the swagger and sashay (about that, those boots again, how can you not strut?). We’re buying it all, the whole picture, with the make-up concept (adorable deep plum heart shape/sharp centre peak on lips), flirtiatous hair curls and sleek bobs. As you may find on official site, Monika Ptaszek prefers to design for men, but she suggests not to take the brand name too literally. It’s a boy & girl thing.
