PARBLEU - LUXURY SNEAKERS FOR BRIGHT HEADS

Parbleu began in 2016 with one guy. A sneaker enthusiast in heart and soul. Growing up in the eighties and nineties, he watched from the side-lines the phenomenal rise of US and German sportswear brands. Too young to buy those air-filled masterpieces, yet old enough to understand their significance. When he was eventually able to buy his own footwear he finally got to nurture what was by then a healthy sneaker fetish. And put together an awe-inspiring collection of the best the sneaker industry had to offer.

But as he grew older, his tastes changed. Moving towards the so-called classic sneakers. The simpler the better. And it’s with this attitude he design Parblue sneakers today: sophisticated retakes on classic silhouettes. Using extraordinary premium materials, to provide you with a superior sneaker for a fair price. 

Go check yourself on their website or in some high end stores in Amsterdam like 1 and Pauw.

PLEASE TO MEET - FRANK MUYTJENS

Frank Muytjens gewed up in a small village in Holland and moved in 1994 to New York.

In 2008 he followed Todd Snyder up as head of design for J.Crew and continued to

popularize the urban-outdoorsman look that helped define the early aughts—dark jeans, plaid shirt, heavy boots—a look that was popular with hipsters in big cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Portland. The company also brought on third-party collaborations to round out its in-house products, aligning itself more with popular boutique shopping, now an industry standard. Additionally, J.Crew helped introduce suiting to a new generation of dapper guys who wanted tailoring that was slim, not bulky, and its Ludlow suit is, in many ways, the suit of the 2000s so far.

Frank is know for his keen eye of combining workwear with preppy staples and formal wear. You can't leave the house with something blue.

After working for almost 10 years as head of design for J.Crew, Frank Muytjens left the company. Closing one door makes sure another one will open. We look forward what will be next Frank!

OEBEN'S MERCANTILE, UTRECHT - CAN I HELP YOU SIR!

Dreams come true!

Thomas Oeben started some 10 years ago in the fashion industry al these years there was just one thing on his mind, one day I will open my own store. In 2014 when he and his girlfriend went to Florida for a well deserved holiday they paid a visit to Miami's local hero Supply & Advise, that was more or less the birth of Oeben's Mercantile.

 The Oeben's family have worked on the railroads and as merchants or independent businessmen since the 1800's. To honor the family legacy, the collection of Oeben's Mercantile includes true workwear such as denim, soft and thick oxford shirts and rugged outerwear. A careful selection of tailored pieces, complimented by fine shirts and ties will provide today's merchants and entrepreneurs with all they need to take on the world. Obean's Mercantile is founded to supply today's men with menswear, denim & tailoring with the service which is sometimes forgotten in the modern day world. 

You can find the heritage of the Oeben's family throughout the store with hints to the railroad, like a locomotive in the logo and on the counter and the coat and hat of a machinist.
