Visvim Virgil

01

Info

—01. Black suede.

Words

The Virgil's are back, this time in three different suedes at End. The boots are arguably the best Visvim model ever. While the price keeps going up, and some have an issue with the heel counter, the black on black gives it a very subtle look. Light weight and extremely comfortable, the Virgil's are always going to be one for the 'want' list.

Visvim Skagway Estlin

—01. Canvas Upper.
—02. Leather Trim.

Words

It's those simple items that have the most wear-ability, easily interchangeable between any outfit in any season. The Skagway Estlin is that shoe for me. It's accessible and it's not overly detailed. I appreciate the classic model made well and Visvim produces a great version here.

—01. Denim Contrasts.
—02. 3 Layer Gore-Tex.

Words

Visvim releases its seasonal PFD jacket accented with a beautifully thin Italian whaled corduroy, a three layer Gore-Tex, and raglan sleeves. I may not be able to buy something this expensive, but rather just admire for now. It's functionally attractive and unique, from the collar to the color it's a nice piece.

Visvim V+V Oxford Kuba Shirt

01

Info

—01. Limited Quantities.

Words

Visvim pieces have begun to arrive at various retailers now and this white giza cotton oxford shirt is a great example of visvim's attention to detail. Spun with speckled color fabric it is definitely a unique piece. It is everything we have come to love and hate about visvim products, beautifully crafted but extremely expensive.

Visvim Albacore Kuba Shirt

01

Info

—01. Each shirt is unique due to the rare fabrics.

Words

I haven't generally been a huge fan of Visvim's patch elbow oxford shirts, but this series using African indigo fabrics is especially beautiful. I love the natural tones, stitching and dyes in the indigo and the way Visvim have shot the shirts on a large portion of the fabric behind looks great. I am pretty tempted to click for that product request link right about now.

Visvim FW11 Items

01

Info

—01. Beautifully dyed and hand made.

Words

Visvim has begun to release images of their Fall-Winter 2011 collection online and among the selection there are some great items. These are a couple of my favorites previewed last week. The indigo dyed pieces, patched shirts and shoes and really nice color palette struck me in a pleasant way. While I haven't seen any new footwear I'm dying to get, the accessories are especially looking great so far.

Visvim Skagway Lo Denim

01

Image

—01. Denim and leopard print upper.

Words

I know the pricing is prohibitive to many - myself included - but these are a prime example of what Visvim does best - using a classic silhouette and taking it somewhere new; making it the best it can be through considered design and innovation. The combination of grey denim and tonal leopard print on the tongue and heel is a measured touch, unique but not overpowering, making them easy to wear, but a little more interesting than standard cap toe options.

—01. Beautiful interior, hand dyed Native American rug.

Words

After first landing in Hong Kong several years ago, japanese cult brand Visvim opened its second store in the neighbouring area of Wanchai with a similar minimalist F.I.L. retail concept. The space is beautiful, the masonry work is amazing, and of course the products are decent as well.
