Le Tricoteur Charcoal

Le Tricoteur for 6876  : À la Perchoine (a la per-shoy-n )

Guernsey Patois, or Guernesiais as it is known locally, is a very ancient tongue indeed. A descendant of old Norman French and developed in splendid isolation within the island it has become a true ‘language apart’.

The loss of Normandy in 1204 by the then English King John and the subsequent election by the Channel Islands to stay loyal to the English crown meant that the Norman French spoken by the islanders was destined to follow a different path to that on mainland France.

The quintessential fisherman’s jumper in charcoal Grey

Duror Jacket

January 2023 Bshop & 6876 reconvened our relationship at the studio in the Brunswick Centre HQ.

The aim to produce unique and high quality products in collaboration for predominately the Japanese market.

As the buyers studied recent and archive garments they singled out a once sampled but enevr produced modernist pullover in a light technical cloth. The Bshop vision was to slightly remodel the scale and shape and produce in Ventile which immediately raised profile of the style.

From this meeting the Duror style was born as the signature garment of the collection which also features Le Tricoteur , Brady bags and Lochcarron Scarfs.
