Aber.Dash Clothiers, est: 2012

Aber.Dash - The Clothier….

You may have heard a rumour, you may not have, well either way here it is for you fine gentlemen to check out.

Have a read, sit back and get ready for the launch. 

http://data.axmag.com/data/201202/U24580_F77918/index.html

Its all out there for us.

Well folks, gents, dressers, whatever you call your fine self, Its been a great start to the year for Offhand, been stung for customs import tax and learning the harsh lessons involved in the industry. It makes us feel a lot stronger in hindsight, 

You learn a lot from mistakes and the beauty of a mistake is that when something positive happens your focus is magnified and you go about your business in a much more controlled and confident manner. 

That is exactly what’s happened and what a result we have had come out of it. 

We are set to launch a new concept bringing back both traditional and innovative methods which have been lost somewhere along the way. Confused???

No need, keep in touch and you will discover that there is a lot more to Offhand than you imagined. There are many guises and the art is to keep them apart until the time is right.

Now after you have digested that information please feel free to check out our friends in the link above for what is probably the best on offer on the internet.

We will be adding more links as we evolve.

Cool in Manner……….

Sample Simple Superb.

Remember last year, The sample sale over @ our friends Superdenim. Crammed full of Nigel Cabourn. Well its here again 1st February and from what I hear there are a few common folk sharpening their fingertips ready to strike. Nothing stokes the passion more than catching a glimpse of what Mr Cabourn has been designing, constructing and experimenting with over the last year. 

I have seen what’s on offer and there are some ace bits, Once again Cabourn shows his creative flair and ideas with a very extensive collection of desirable sample pieces. Its certainly a highlight of the year so soon after some amazing sales. 

There is a beautiful Surface which I doubt will be around for long. So whether or not you think its all a spin and his stuff aint worth much, then stay away and stick to what you know, that way it will leave more stock for those that appreciate his work.

See you there on the day online of course….

Offhand - evolving culture and changing the minds……..

Look out for the whisper…

If you have been following this last few weeks you may have picked up on our plans to open a bespoke hard goods store. This set up and location really is something special. Based on the first floor of a rather cool building it promises to be unique to say the least. I have already secured some excellent brands which are not available anywhere in Sheffield. We will also be offering high quality second hands attire and mixing it up with quirky Nik Naks from around the globe. Another unique service will be a sourcing department. Let us do all the hard work using our vast knowledge and expertise to support like minded folk.

having already successfully worked on two rebranding strategies for online sites, we will also be offering more marketing and branding services to tailor your needs and maximize your potential. Look out for our promo shots soon and more info.

Offhand will also be bringing together all those in the industry and showcasing works and private sales. Thank you for the continued support.
