The Kooples


If you have spent any time in London over the past few months you will be well aware of the fashion newcomers, The Kooples. Blazoned across the side of every bus & taxi from Kensington to Carnaby Street, the ad campaign featuring real life couples looking edgy, stylish & sophisticated is definitely unlike any others. The French label founded by 3 brothers - sons of the people behind the Comptoir des Cotonniers womenswear chain -  his & hers British hipster style. All Saint’s meets Savile Row.



A huge hit across the channel and stocking a collaborative collection by Pete Doherty & Abbey Watkins, the new kids on the block pride themselves in:


“bringing chic back to the streets, dressing men & women in sharp allure, with a style borrowed from icons of fashion and a love for vintage.”

“This franco-british elegance made for urban living has everything from dress shirts to party dresses, jeans to suits, shoes to jewels. The perfect playlist will offer inspiration and a state of mind that allows the somber thoughts of night owls to fall in love in the early hours of the morning.”

“The Kooples has chosen to side with Savile Row, that neighbourhood in London made famous for its tailoring. By teaming up with the master tailors Norton & Sons, The Kooples has created the hip neo-dandy with a tailored fit, narrow sleeves and snug shoulders. A London cut revisited by infamous ‘je ne sais quoi’ of the french.”

We definitely think they've achieved it with their All Saint's meets Marc Jacobs look.
