Couverture & The Garbstore

Brand Focus

Get to know our new brands for SS24

It's time to introduce you to some of the new brands we're excited to be introducing to Garbstore this season.

Los Angeles based FUCT was founded in 1990 by American artist and designer Erik Brunetti and skateboarder Natas Kaupas - who hails from the renowned LA surf and skate neighbourhood, Dogtown. An acronym for Friends U Can’t Trust, as well as a homophone for an expletive, it is clear where FUCT stand in terms of rubbing it in the face of the mainstream. Not to mention, they were among the first skate brands to parody corporate logos, particularly recognisable for their distinctive spin on the Ford Motor Company logo.

The independent label are one of the pioneering brands of modern streetwear, incorporating various elements and icons of pop culture alongside anti-government sentiments into their designs. So, it made sense to bring the brand into our selection of graphic-led, skate-inspired tees and hoodies.

Arriving soon.

 

“Clothes are tools, not costumes” state meanswhile, a Japanese brand dedicated to design-driven products inspired by outdoor, military, and work-wear. The nexus between all three can be seen in meanswhile’s reinterpretation of these influences into durable and utilitarian yet minimalistic pieces, suitable for everyday wear. With similar muses to our three in-house brands - Garbstore, Home Party, and The English Difference – we truly understand meanswhile’s vision and are delighted to welcome them to the Garbstore roster
