PELEGRIMS
Our man Alex, hooks up with his mate Jerome at the local boozer and it turns out they both know another guy, lets call him Adrien, who's keen on wine, so obviously they thought why don't we start a skincare range!! Piddling into the wind? That's what we thought, but has form. In previous life he was co-founder of UK Skincare label Haeckels. Tech savvy Jerome just also happens to be a trained Sommelier, and it turns out their shared mate Adrien, runs Westwell Wines in Charing, Kent. Bingo!
GOTTLOB WORLD
Moritz Gottlob is a true Mamma's boy. His mum Barbara has been in the jewellery game since 2002 when she kicked off the label, whilst Moritz has been hanging around the backroom honing his craft, stealing ideas and shiny bits of tin, whilst getting his meals cooked. All the usual place markers are here, quality, craftsmanship, knowhow, along with some quirky humour.

Solovair Originals
Solovair know a thing or two about making shoes. They've been stitching soles in in their Wollaston factory since 1881, kicking things off as a collective called The Duffers. No surprise in the 1950's when the good Dr's Funck & Maerten came up with the idea of putting some air in your kicks, they turned to Solovair to make it happen. Today, Solovair shoes are still hand made from start to finish in their East Midlands hometown using the original lasts and goodyear welted 'Soles-of-Air'.
