Romance Was Born: The highly theatrical label of duo Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett is known for its craft-driven, over-the-top approach and favouring of one-off pieces. Their clothing is irreverent, fun and colourful with a firm tongue-in-cheek tone.

Three Over One: With the by-line “Honest, Hardworking, Men’s apparel” this label focuses on practicality and functionality. Each collection centres on denim, with the name based on the structure of denim fabric and is inspired by menswear of the 1930’s to 1940’s.
