Tuesday 12/22 - Shipley Halmos and Company of We

Company of We is an interesting story, they seem to be working a higher end H&M thing and putting out quality that compares to any of the better mid priced lines out there. Some of the more interesting pieces make me think of Band of Outsiders.  They will be popping up in retailers in Boston in the spring, so this is a nice chance pick up a few pieces before they are widely available. Read their (AWESOME) mission statement and see a few key pieces after the jump

COMPANY OF WE IS DEMOCRATIC LUXURY.

Launched in 2009 to alleviate the Bergdorf Blues—a malady inflicted from a growing inability to justify the price tags lurking within those synonymous lilac shopping bags.
It’s funny but also very uncomfortable—we’ve always appreciated fashion and have immense reverence for designers and luxury brands- but we became increasingly conflicted with the relevance of $700.00 shorts in our economically altered lives.
Being at the precipice of inevitable adulthood we really began to feel the lack of accessible resources for guys who wanted to convey higher fashion—through their wardrobes—without falling into the trend ridden portals of the Soho superstores.
Since its June launch, the brand has received tremendous success and attention from their site’s online shoppers and blue chip retailers alike. With no initial plans to wholesale, Company of We had to quickly revise their vision to accommodate an eager audience and will hit retail stores worldwide in Spring 2010."
