START A PUNK PUG PHENOMENON!

Our giant Anarchy Dog, and Punk Pug scarves are now available at one of our favourite shops ever- Start London!  That rocks; we are over the moon!  Situated in the heart of Shoreditch, Start has long been our number one East London destination for fab rock'n roll fashion with a twist.

Our Anarchy Dog range fits the store like a glove. Inspired by city dwelling pug lovers like Start's very own Brix Smith, the scarves are playful punk statement pieces with sass.  Each of the three 140x140cm  Anrchy Dog squares features a different punk clad pug dog printed on a splatter painted union jack. They come in grey, red,  and bleached pink n' white- Jodie Harsh's favourite. 


Our long Punk Pug scarf, loved and worn by Alexis Knox on T4 Style the Nation, measures 2.5 long and is printed with all three moody pugs on a soft silver grey background. We've never seen anyone this colour doesn't suit.

London SHOPS we Love...

Our favorite Stores in London are not just places to shop. They are places to get inspiration; museums of style, emporiums of finery. 




A Child of The Jago If you are looking for menswear that doesn't bore your face off, then you'd be mad not to check this out.  Buy a derby hat or die! We wear ours with an Age of Reason scarf knotted around, and it looks absolutely a-mazing. No. 10 Great Eastern Street, 


Coco De Mer on Monmouth Street get it soooo right.  In the world of premiere erotic lingerie you don't get finer than this.  The shopping experience is sublime, beating its competitors hands down for female friendly shopping. The service is personal, gentle, well informed and smiley.  And these ladies have a lot to smile about; they're never more than a few feet away from a pleasure puff ring or a butterfly merkin.  We love the home wares section too. 




Start on Rivington street in Shoreditch.  This directional fashion boutique run by Brix Smith, is the best place in London to buy jeans.  Staff will ensure you have the perfect fit for your body shape.  Brix always has brilliant window displays, and we adore her two cute pugs.


Lara Bohinc is a friend who makes mind blowing accessories.  We have enjoyed her many sample sales over the years, which are now a thing of the past sadly.  Lara is an incredibly technically and creatively brilliant designer, her jewellery is second to none.  She also designs for Cartier. 


Liberty is an old favorite, fresh and beautiful every time we visit, but as reassuring and grounded as an old friend. Liberty won't let you down; they consistently make shopping a joy and an inspiration. 


And not to forget Markets. We have so many great ones near our studio in East London. 


We get inspiration at Spitalfields Antiques market on Thursdays. 
And Columbia Road Flower Market on Sundays. Bargains at the end of the day.
