Re Branding....

So as im sure your all aware by now i have bought my own store CHIMP (www.thechimpstore.com) right here in the UK, here is my first part of the re branding that i thought id share with you....

New Beginnings....

To follow on from my post of 'End of an Era' it is now time to tell you all about my new venture... I have now bought my own store and will be relaunching it very soon... The store is called CHIMP and is based at 5, Thorntons Arcade, Leeds, United Kingdom. Chimp has been established since 1998 and myself and my brother (Neil Bedford) take it into its newest chapter.

House Of Billiam x Cloth Surgeon for Chimp....

The frenzy has took place! The block colour varsity's have now materialised! They look amazing, made from the finest wool, leather and patterned linings we lined them up (apart from the grey still under construction) and took a picture.

They will be sold in Chimp, 5 Thorntons Arcade, Leeds, info@thechimpstore.com. On a made to order basis, giving you the opportunity to choose your own fabrics outer and inner, retail price is unconfirmed. More images will follow, as Neil Bedford will be photographing them to create a mini lookbook.

End of an Era....

After 7 years of working for HIP in Leeds i have now left the store to further my career within retail, i would like to thank the people i have met along the way from customers to agents.... its been a great 7 years. I am now working on my own project and all the details will be released soon so please keep checking back for updates. Thank you

Neil Bedford....

Congratulations to my brother Neil Bedford after being awarded a distinction in his MA Fashion Photography course at the London College of Fashion for his project on Bradford City Football Club, Fourteen Fifty Nine. Fourteen Fifty Nine will be published by Neil later in the year.

The Perfect iPhone Case by Incase....

Ever since getting my iPhone i have been looking for a good case and not one that just makes it look chunky and hides the beautiful styling that makes iPhone what it is (apart from all the silly little apps of course). Thank you to Mary Jane for providing me with this sample.
