While there were many noteworthy collections at (capsule) this year, one name was on everyone’s “must see” list: Ovadia & Sons.

YES, PLEASE | RBY45RPM WINTER LOOK-BOOK
I’ve become enamored of Rby45rpm over the years and this collection is only increasing that trend.

VIDEO | VIBERG BOOT
I recently stumbled upon this video about the Viberg Boot company produced by Inventory Magazine’s “Inventory Films”. It is about a year old so I’m surprised I haven’t seen more coverage, but, as one would expect from Inventory, it is still a beautifully shot piece about a company with an authentic past. Inventory’s description does … Read more
