Cottage favourites by Ruben | July
Every month our cottage staff member Ruben Teulings will pick his favourite pieces of the moment. This time with a selection for July
A.P.C. T-Shirt VPC
“Atelier de Production et de Creation” A new brand to the Calico Club brand portfolio. Started by Jean Touitou back in the 80’s and has gained a whole culture since worldwide. The Tee that I’m wearing is one of the most iconic pieces that every season comes back. Perfect for layering or wear it by it’s own.
NN.07 Troy Shirt
Staples are essential to your closet, why don’t elevate those pieces? This knitted vest from our Scandinavian friends is the perfect example. Good to wear with a streetwear look or in a formal way, you’re always looking sharp.
DARKPARK John Relax Fit Worker
From Milano to Nistelrode, the famous but infamous brand DARKPARK is well known in the southern part of Europe and the States. Worn by artists like J.Cole on stage say’s enough. For me is this the perfect jeans with a workwear vibe and a good wide, pair it with New Balance’s or some good boot’s and you’re done.
New Balance M990 GY2
Just like in my last editorial, Golden Goose is for the people that can appreciate some work in shoes but on a Italian idea. The Venecian brand runs in my opinion the Italian streets since their start in the Y2K’s. These high tops are just classics, easy with jeans or a nice short. Summer let’s go.
Marni White T-shirt
This you call a T-Shirt by Marni. Perfect boxy fit, big all over prints in a great color combination. Marni stands for boldness and extravert design on a unique way only they can accomplish. A big chapeau to the design team.
Tenue Luke Jeans
Also a perfect example of a real denim. Wide fit, stone washed and produced in one of the best factories of Italy. Menno and the brand Tenue are willing to design good staples for everyday wear for everyone. So get yourself of the couch and come try this great piece in one of stores.
New balance BB550
The now well know 550 model from New Balance is an style mostly seen in the street of the biggest city’s in the world; Paris, Milan, Copenhagen and London. But for this time New Balance those to experiment with a softer leather, a cushioned thong and nubuck. It gives a feeling of we’re back at the day these shoes released for the first time.
Arc’Teryx Manatis bag
Mostly known for producing the best Gore-Tex Jackets that exist. Arc’Teryx is also really well in making technical accessories that get a long pretty well. This is for me now my go to waist bag for my every day essentials.
