Review

Hammo is the more experimental side to March Tee. As a short sleeve sweatshirt, it’s uniquely laid-back and satisfying.

Andamen is a great one-stop-shop for your shirt wardrobe, if you identify with their idea of India-inspired, premium menswear. Fabrics are high quality, finishing is top-notch and colours are on point.

The bold socks trend isn’t new any more, but SockSoho (earlier known as SocksBakery) shows us there’s still room for subtlety as well as creatively experimenting with quirky designs like Vikings, The Queen’s Guard or even a tribute to Steve Jobs.

Bareek’s handwoven shirts are a blend of well-measured modernity and centuries-old local traditions. They’re honest in price and heavy on character.

A handmade, full grain leather wallet with rustic styling from Godbolé Gear shows how beautiful leather craftsmanship can be when done right.

In the endless sea of men’s footwear, SVED, a boutique brand from Pune, steps up to offer something different with its smart wholecut suede shoes.

Sasha, a young brand from Delhi, handcrafts stylish eyewear out of wood that feels wonderfully natural, without compromising on its fashion quotient.

Handmade by Himalayan village women using the amazingly eco-friendly hemp plant, these scarves are excellent accessory candidates even outside of winter-protection.

Putting your own fade on custom-made, selvedge denim jeans is a massively cool experience.

Hemp is one of the planet’s most versatile and sustainable fibres. Its fabric feels a little bit like linen and is a lot easier to get used to than I thought. I’m glad hemp is taking off in India again, courtesy startups like Boheco.
