Our Berlin-based pals at AKOG have just been in touch to tell us all about their end of year drop, just in time for what Americans/the English-speaking world outside the UK calls ‘the Holidays’.
As ever with A Kind of Guise it’s a reassuring blend of timeless style and refined heritage.
For an easy dose of laid-back sophistication, the Bane Blouson takes centre stage. This relaxed bomber is constructed from luxurious Austrian-boiled wool, with a buttery soft leather lining that’s been expertly tanned in Germany. It’s a perfect piece to throw on for your post-Xmas dinner escape from the house
In the same vein of merging modern aesthetics with heritage, the collection continues to draw inspiration from across the globe. Think premium Japanese fabric, 100% lambskin, Peruvian alpaca, silk, cashmere, and velvet.
And for that Crimbo Limbo spell between Christmas and New Year, when a wander around the local city or a couple of hours watching your childhood team are all you can be bothered to do, the Puno Puffer Jacket is a must. Available in two striking colourways, this eco-conscious, water-repellent jacket is filled with recycled down and designed in collaboration with an innovative, family-owned fabric supplier based in one of Italy’s most sustainable mills. It’s got that level of luxury you’d normally pay four figures plus for, but doesn’t suffer from the shiny dressed-up formality you can sometimes find from such elevated garments.
Accessories-wise this drop has you covered too – literally. A couple of very fetching headwear options, plus a puffer scarf of serious distinction bring a wintry practicality to the table, while on the actual table their exclusive incense burner brings fun to the festivities. In all it’s yet another beautiful range of items that’ll enhance your life if you’re fortunate enough to come into possession of any of them.
