Their latest trip brought them to London to check out brands like Albam, Margaret Howell and Woolrich Woolen Mills. Here's a sampling of some of the photos from their blog.

Somewhere East, I think?

LONDONTOWN

A quick trip to London was the next thing to do. Main targets were Albam, a quite new UK-brand, were almost everything is crafted in the UK. Amazing peices, amazing quality and really affordable. The Woolen Mills collection from Woolrich, designed bu Daiki Suzuki (Engineered Garments), this time inspired by surfing the waves in the 60-70's and Margaret Howell and her line MHL. Classic pieces, not to dressed up, a bit wrinkley and great fabrics. 3 days later we're back home preparing all the AW-collections that are droping in every day and hopefully some nice Albam-pieces will show up within a few weeks also, fingers crossed.
