The reimagined classic is part of the latest Our Legacy Work Shop which launches this week with a capsule collection and pop-up at Matches Fashion’s 5 Carlos Place
publishedIn 2016, Our Legacy – the cult Stockholm-based label known for ’unfamiliar familiar’ pieces that draw inspiration from vintage silhouettes – inaugurated its ‘Work Shop’ project, a workspace and retail platform which focuses on re- and upcycling. This month, the latest chapter of Our Legacy Work Shop launches with Matches Fashion, taking over the retailer’s London townhouseand releasing an exclusive 12-piece collection that it calls ‘a love letter to the British Isles’.
Part of the collection is a collaboration with British heritage brand Baracuta, best known for its Harrington G9 jacket. In the spirit of the Work Shop, Our Legacy reimagines the seminal style utilising fine wools that have been upcycled or repurposed from its previous collections.
Jockum Hallen – one of Our Legacy’s three co-founders, alongside Cristopher Nying and Richardos Klarén – says that the wider capsule collection is inspired by Britain’s longtime links with craftsmanship, from shoemaking and fabric weaving, to the tailoring of Savile Row.
‘Looking from afar, it’s easy to romanticise around the idea of a small factory doing what they’ve always done,’ he continues, noting that some of the upcycled fabrics were leftovers from Britain’s historic producers . ‘But the actual ways of producing something long-lasting in a wholesome way is something we deeply respect and aspire to.
