Gees this has been a long time coming but today I had a bit of spare time (and some daylight) so I took advantage and grabbed my camera for part 2 of my "Made In...." feature.
As I mentioned in part 1 I'm quite obsessed with finding out a bit of information about existing things in my wardrobe and also potential purchases. This usually involves me rummaging around for labels while sales assistants look at me like I'm about to hack the security tags off. I used to just look at the material but now it's the country of origin. Most of the things featured above are either from charity shops or vintage finds, so what does that say then? I'll be in London next week for a couple of days and I'm planning on checking out a few vintage shops for some more quality pieces.
A lot of my clothes are made in much poorer countries and it's hard to avoid when you don't have the money spend but it's nice to know a little more isn't it. Have you guys been checking out your labels since part 1? If not how about checking whatever you're wearing now? I'd be really interested to hear what everyone can see.
*The Grenson brogues are proper good, sadly they're still in unworn condition as they don't quite fit me. I had a protective sole put on too, (I'd be on my arse in no time with leather soles)before I realised! If anyone is interested in them and are a uk 8/9 do get in touch.
