Known for their vintage and heritage-inspired designs, Aoyama’s Archive & Style have linked up with Daisuke Kawaguchi and METAPHORE for a special edition version of the Japanese brand’s Hunter Tote Bag from the Spring/Summer 2012 collection. Retaining the overall shape, Italian leather and signature cotton netting of the original, Archive & Style’s Masahiko Sakata has finished off the blue canvas piece by applying deadstock 1930s British linen to the bottom of the tote, giving each a unique and one-of-a-kind look. The limited collaboration will be available at Archive & Style beginning February 18 for ¥31,500 JPY (approximately $410 USD).

Modern Day Artisans: Ricky Feather

In a little less than three years, Ricky Feather – otherwise recognized by his namesake bespoke bike building brand, “Feather Cycles,” has established an impressive reputation for his handcrafted bicycle frames. Having seemingly stumbled into the world of frame building via an apprenticeship working with metal welding, Feather started with little more than basic materials and rudimentary tools such as a file and torch when he initially set out to fabricate his first design. A biproduct of his own personal perfectionism, Feather’s hand-on approach and strict attention to detail is the cornerstone of the quality and identity that is attached to every frame that he individually creates. As he speaks on his concern surrounding the threats to the quality control from the potential expansion and mass production of his trade, it is evident that the same passion and conviction that guides Ricky Feather are yet another reminder of the importance of the remaining Modern Day Artisans.
