Scotland project W2 x 6876

AW 2024 we will be collaborating with https://www.w2store.co.uk/

Emerging from the culmination of the Comme des Garçons guerrilla project in 2009 the store was created by David Mullane one of the most important figures in Scottish retail dating back to The Wearhouse in the 1980’s :

From 2010 onwards W2 branched out to offer a select number of brands & in 2023 entered into a new period with new leadership:

This winter we are producing exclusive Made in Scotland bags, hats & Ties as well as unique T-shirts: Finally W2 will be the only store to stock the Trail Sonora

Archive fabric ties

At our facility in Scotland one of their skills is the production of hand made Ties. 6876 has never produced ties so we decided to take a unique approach and use archive cloths.

Fabrics that have been utilised are Hainsworth Military wool barathea, graphic modernist cotton interpretations of tartans and to follow this Autumn a Japanese woven interpretation of British Army denim mixed with wool.

 

Messages Bag

“The Messages or going to get the messages”

Scottish phrase meaning to go and buy Groceries 

6876 Tote bag with unique construction including outside pocket.

This style has been made in Scotland using Hainsworth Fabric from the company archive.

The quality is a British Army wool Barathea; comprising of a worsted weave which is a process differing to a highly woollen produced fabric.

Barathea is versatile, with elegant drape and exceptional handle. Due to its coarse texture, the fabric has natural recovery abilities and quickly returns back to its natural shape.
