Following the same ethos as their jewelry, no two pieces are alike, each with different pockets and configurations. Each of us have one shirt to sell. This piece has a shallow gem pocket, flapped and open chest pockets, and a deep inside chest pocket. The shirt is furnished with a hallmarked sterling silver Kilt pin mounted on a badge tab at the chest. The Wax Blue overdye shade is derived from the wax used for The Ouze’s lost wax casing process.

‘Clews’ launch tomorrow evening at the Awaykin Store with live performances from: John Joseph Holt - an award-winning writer, artist and founder of British documentary publication, LAW magazine. Launched in 2011, LAW is a celebration of modern Britain that hails the unsung driven by Holt’s deeply romantic and evocative vision. In 2023 Holt’s poem ‘The Island Life’ for the Channel 4 idents won British Arrows gold and his debut ‘Bite the Bullet’ poetry tour included performances at We Out Here, Glastonbury and Rally festival. He lives and works in the Fenlands, East Anglia. Osgled - Drawing on a rich blend of experimental sounds, Osgled (Welsh for amplitude) combines ethereal, atmospheric layers with poignant, melancholy synths, all woven together with Bethan’s dreamy and evocative vocals. The result is a soundscape that feels both otherworldly and deeply emotional, transporting listeners into a space of reflection and feeling. Elspeth Anne - reimagines the traditional folk music of the British Isles, drawing in alt country and punk influences and creating a mesmeric hum of drones and guitar with the voice as the central focus. Based on the Welsh-English border, her practice is informed by the wilder landscape and the liminal undercurrent of the area. 6pm - 9pm Awaykin Unit 5, 39 Gransden Ave, London, E8 3QA Drinks from Two Tribes Brewery & Ghost Labs Photography: Ali Periam Model: Antonio Tapusoa

Launching this Friday at the Awaykin store, ‘Clews’ a collaboration between HERESY and Middle Distance. Consisting of two ‘Ghillie’ bags in a newly-developed composite textile allowing the wearer to adorn the pieces with whatever material suits their own local and seasonal requirements. Three T-shirts are also on offer featuring co branded labelling and ‘Eyeball’ graphics. The products will be available to purchase at the Awaykin store from Friday 5th December and will be online on the 9th December.

Clews is a collaborative project that finds a shared language in Heresy’s folklore research and Middle Distance’s material exploration. Building on our collective interest in the motif of the foliate head - or, The Green Man - and past projects The Marches (2019) and Edale Country Day (2019), this collection considers transfiguration: a toolkit for becoming tree. Taking its name from the bundles of braided, live heather rope used in a thatching technique unique to the Orkney Islands, Clews looks to the transformative potential enfolded into this ball of raw natural material, perfectly adapted to its local surroundings, waiting to be unfurled as protection and shelter, becoming something else entirely. Clews is photographed on Rivington Moor - itself a place known for its spectres, druid cairns and UFO sightings - haunted by its abandoned military roads and television broadcast masts. This landscape speaks to our joint approach to folk and material research which looks for something that is generative rather than historical-facing; something simultaneously both contemporary and ancient. To launch the project at Awaykin, we’ll be joined by our friends John Joseph Holt, Osgled and Elspeth Anne for performances, with a video edit from the moors by Josh Homer. 5th December 6pm - 9pm Awaykin Unit 5, 39 Gransden Ave, London E8 3QA
