Nigel Cabourn - SS/10 "Burma" Collection


Coggles.com have received the first few pieces from the Spring/Summer ’10 Nigel Cabourn collection entitled “Burma”.

The collection is inspired by his fathers army handbook which he used as a diary of his army campaigns and manoeuvers in India and Burma from 1942 - 45. The clothes worn by Nigel’s father – J.E.W. Cabourn – and the photographs within this book taken on his ‘box brownie’ camera provide not only the inspiration for the collection but a reference for design and construction, with each piece faithfully recreated using genuine British heritage fabrics wherever possible. These fabrics have the finest reputation for durability and quality and have been manufactured by British manufacturers, some of which even produced for the British Army in WW1 and WW2.

Highlights from the collection include the Rangoon Navy jacket and the Tropics yellow coat.

Folk - Spring/Summer '10




It’s almost a decade since Folk was founded in 2001. In this relatively short period of time the label has built a strong and loyal following with a relaxed, easy going attitude that permeates the brand right down to the simple, staple favourites and fun, quirky details that Folk has become known and loved for. For SS10 Japanese fabrics are prominent on shirts and Pima cotton for comfort and warmth on knits. Signature Folk pieces like ‘Undergarm’ have been updated with thumbhole cuffs and the ‘Cozy’ knit has a more comfortable lightweight feel. The colour palette is a perfect progression from light grey to navy blue with multi coloured patches along the way; an easy to wear, beautifully made collection.

The SS/10 Folk collection is available now at Coggles.com

Paige Denim - "Fit Never Goes Out Of Style"



Paige Adams-Geller was the ‘fit model’ for almost every A-list premium jeans label. Using this experience she has channelled all of her knowledge of fabric and fit into her own label Paige Premium Denim Jeans and the result is a flattering fit for every shape.

The jeans offer 4 different pocket sizes, not the usual 2, so that each pocket remains in proportion to the size of the jean; pockets are also positioned higher to accentuate lift and shape and a triple lined waist band provides a more comfortable fit. Each style is named after the streets of LA where the brand is based and has a cult following.


The current Paige Denim collection is available now at Coggles.com

Paul Smith Footwear - Spring/Summer '10



We have just received our first drop of Paul Smith Shoes for Spring/Summer ‘10. Kicking off the new decade with grand splashes of colour, bright blues and greens are seen in classic styles such as the Mancini loafer and the Hashbury boat shoe. As always, the collection expertly fuses classic design with contemporary style and the traditional hand crafted aesthetic is clear to see in shoes and boots that are made from quality materials and often by traditional techniques, like the handmade and dip dyed Miller brogue.

Delphic - Acolyte - Out Now



The Mancunian quartet Delphic spent most of 2009 establishing themselves as one of the brightest new bands and have found themselves as one of the most hyped bands for 2010. Obvious comparisons have been made to Manchester’s own New Order but, despite the clear influence taken from early electronic techniques, the band have created their own special chemistry and must be seen as a great future prospect.

Spring Summer '10 sees the welcome return of the design collaboration between the fashion queen of punk Vivienne Westwood and the iconic Brazilian shoe brand Melissa. A mixture of Melissa's bubblegum scented injected thermoplastic and Westwood's avant-garde design results in shoes that look and feel almost out of this world and smell pretty good too.

New for SS10 are the love 'em or hate 'em winged sandals and the stud and bow booties, joining old favourites Threestrap, Ultragirl and Ladydragon.
