COPSON CHATS: Henry Di Nino of The Other Side of The Pillow

Like a good suit or a wallet, a reliable pair of Vans is a key component of a complete wardrobe. Taking this idea to the left is Henry Di Nino, Vans expert and owner of The Other Side of The Pillow – a small East London store that specializes in deadstock Vans. Maria Falbo‘s Copson Street stepped inside of the intimate store, where Di Nino guides viewers through the shop’s collection for the above video. Chiefly in pursuit of American-made Vans, the shop has become an authority of sorts on authentic, vintage gear from the brand, collecting not only footwear, but memorabilia from its early days. Highlights include custom woven women’s shoes, not to mention a very rare Vans clown shoe. Enjoy the video above.
