Straight from Taiwan, CHILLGA is an experimental brand centred on the symbolic translation of objects. By reinterpreting everyday items, the brand reveals the meanings they accumulate through cultural contexts, bodily practices and the passage of time.

Available in store: the Bandana Hat and Sneaker Clutch, two pieces that reinterpret familiar forms through the lens of contemporary streetwear.

Founded by designer, pattern maker and seamstress Itiya, this collection from Itiya Studio draws inspiration from play, childhood and the ways identity is expressed throughout the process of growing up.

Blending the everyday with eveningwear, the feminine with the masculine and the childlike with the adult, the garments sit somewhere between categories — designed to reveal, conceal and adapt to the many versions of ourselves we carry through different moments of life.

Working predominantly through upcycling, Itiya uses materials with strong social symbolism as raw material, from button-down shirts and graphic T-shirts to hand-embroidered tablecloths and sports jerseys, reworking familiar references into something entirely new.

Nitzana Tops
Created from two or three second-hand T-shirts, these reconstructed pieces reinterpret everyday uniforms through layering, colour and unexpected proportions.

Printed Dress
From vintage tablecloth corsets to jacquard dresses made from offcuts and appliquéd T-shirt prints, the collection celebrates materials that already carry stories of their own.

Jordana Top
Graphic T-shirts and sports jerseys become the starting point for garments that blur the line between casualwear and occasion dressing.

Bowbuilder Corsets
Constructed from second-hand shirting with boning and wire cups, these pieces explore ideas of femininity, control and play through one of fashion’s most iconic silhouettes.

Almost everything Daniel creates begins with the natural world. Organic textures, forms and patterns become the starting point, with layers of embroidery allowing each design to evolve directly on the fabric.

Once these embroideries have been stitched, Daniel studies how the different elements interact, combining the strongest pieces before transforming them into functional accessories and everyday pieces.

Upcycled Cross Body Bags
Made from factory offcuts originally destined to become dog beds, these small side bags feature an embroidered front pocket, space for a phone or water bottle, an internal pocket with carabiner loop and an adjustable cotton strap.

Tent Totes
Crafted from reclaimed tents, these tote bags pair durable materials with Daniel’s signature embroidery work. Each includes an embroidered design, internal pocket and cotton shoulder straps.

Cotton Totes
Made from heavyweight 320gsm cotton, these totes feature an upcycled embroidered front pocket created from factory offcuts, alongside an embroidered internal pocket and keyring hook.Cotton Totes
Made from heavyweight 320gsm cotton, these totes feature an upcycled embroidered front pocket created from factory offcuts, alongside an embroidered internal pocket and keyring hook.

Daniel’s work is a continuous experiment in design, evolving through personal discovery and hands-on creative practice. By repurposing and embellishing damaged, discarded and overlooked textiles, he transforms potential waste into new pieces with a story to tell.

Daniel Crabtree reimagines British tailoring through a lens of individuality, character and longevity.

Working with reclaimed garments and freehand pattern cutting, his pieces challenge traditional menswear codes with unexpected proportions and subtle subversion. Inspired by the stories clothes carry and the people who wear them, each garment is designed to evolve over time, taking on a new life with every owner.

Last week, we had the privilege of welcoming The Or Foundation and an incredible group of Ghanaian designers to our Concept Store in London Fields.

Kantamanto Market is often spoken about as the end of fashion’s story. This collaboration reminded us it’s also where countless new stories begin. Through extraordinary craftsmanship, creativity and resilience, these designers are transforming discarded textiles into pieces that challenge the way we think about waste, value and fashion itself.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, supported the designers and helped make this collaboration so special.
Missed the pop-up? We’ve kept a selection of the collection in-store, so you can still come by, discover the designers and shop the pieces while they’re still available!
