This Prostar long sleeve striped top inspired by the Barcelona colourway has been transformed into a soccer sari using one of my mums old saris and traditional hand sewing techniques.

On the front the middle stripe has been covered in a cut out taken from the end of the sari, the heavier and more detailed section.
The back features two more cut outs covering the blue stripes, and the collars featured the most detailed part of the sari. All customisations have been sewn on by hand.

I’ve collaborated on the first drop from the project created by inspired by football and our Pakistani heritage.

This piece was originally a brand new Leeds United shirt found in a charity store and has been hand sewn and embellished with parts from a traditional Pakistani sari and matching scarf donated by my mum; to create a completely unique shirt.

Details can be seen all around the shirt, highlights include the large back scarf cut out, which had a perfect fade between the yellow and blue and detailed embellishments around the edges. The end of the sleeves being hand sewn over in different colours from the same sari and the front Leeds crest has a circular cut out of Chrome XL leather with the XEN logo etched in the centre.

Over the past 6 months me and have been working on a collaborative collection the ‘Soccer Sari’, the first drop from the project inspired by football and our British Pakistani heritage.

The first piece created was originally a vintage Nike football shirt based on an iconic 90s Arsenal template first heat pressed custom vinyls including the ‘Spread Salaam’ crest and the ‘Dreamer’ sponsor.

Once I received the shirt the first step was to underline the ‘Dreamer’ sponser with a cut out from the scarf going from yellow to blue which also featured detailed embellishments throughout.

Other highlights include the collar being covered in a blue piece from the matching sari and the back features a large XEN graffiti tag logo cut from the yellow part of the sari. All embellishments and alterations were done delicately by hand.

For the recent collaboration with & we created a football top using the colours of the Birmingham teams Aston Villa & Birmingham City.

All three brands designed a football crest badge using their own design language. Here are a few I created during the design process, the second slide shows the chosen crest badge for this collaboration. This was chosen as the colours and look of the crest badge worked well with the colours of the two football teams. It features sharp edges and the downwards XEN logo in the centre of spider web I designed a while back and a yellow background.

Some of the other crest badges created in the process will be used on future projects, especially the one seen on the third slide, keep an eye out!

Which one is your favourite?⚽️

A notepad made from Horween Chromexel leather scraps, a single cut of leather holding 3 A6 notepads and a pen holder riveted into place.

The exterior features three circular engravings inspired by plants orbiting each other and cell behaviour, with rivets in the centre of two of them and the main bungee cord for the ThoughtPad in the centre of the large circle.

The notepads are held in place with yellow bungee cord, the same cord is used to close the ThoughtPad. The bungee cord is easy to adjust and replace yourself, this size ThoughtPad is able to hold 3 notepads comfortably with the ability to remove and add more.

The interior features the downwards XEN logo hand drawn on the inside of the front cover and each of the 1.0 ThoughtPads are numbered 1 to 5 on the inside of the back cover.

The ‘Bits&Bobs Tray’ 1.0

Made from Horween leather samples, usually used to showcase the variety of leathers a tannery can offer and then thrown away. Saved from being binned in a shoe factory, I thought they were the perfect size for a small organiser.

Each one features a XEN logo hand engraved in the centre. I decided to keep the original sample sticker on the other side,describing the type of leather it is and the name of the specific colour. A XEN tag has also been drawn onto each sticker. The trays are then held together by 4 rivets in each corner.
