The Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star returns with a premium update in the First String line. Retaining the silhouette’s timeless simplicity, these reconstructed Chucks introduce a higher foxing tape, a shorter toe cap, and a wider footbed for improved fit. Available in three new designs in Men's and Women's, First String is limited to just a handful of select stockists across Europe, including Couverture & The Garbstore. 

TDR returns for AW25 with a collection that champions genre-less British design, revisiting signature styles and introducing new silhouettes shaped by fabrics sourced across Japan, Scotland, and Canada. The focus is on winter comfort and craft, pairing functional construction with refined detailing for pieces designed to be worn every day.

We’re always looking to build on what we already have by adding new brands to The Garbstore roster - each with its own story to tell.

We sat down with chef, content creator and author Justin the Dustbin to talk cooking for friends, what inspires him creatively and what it was like writing his first book. Wearing the Type 1+ Nep Denim Jacket in Rinse and Warden Pant in Indigo from TDR, he spoke about the process behind 'Long Day? Cook This' and why for him, TDR stands for ‘Today’s Daily Ramen’.

We sat down with baker Sam Wong at her home to talk cakes, bakes and everything pandan. Wearing the Noragi Shirt in Pink from TDR, she spoke about the influence of her parents in the kitchen, the pursuit of the perfect chiffon sponge, and how heritage shapes her flavour-first approach. For her, TDR stands for ‘Time Doesn’t Rest’ - a nod to the pace and patience behind every bake.

We sat down with Manchester-based artist Tomas Gittins to talk painting, exhibition spaces and the energy that brings a show to life. Wearing the Nep Denim Jean and Type 1+ Jacket in Rinse from TDR, he spoke about working across mediums, painting faces that spark joy and making art that people can relate to. For him, TDR stands for ‘The Daily Routine’ - a reminder to set yourself goals and keep evolving.

We sat down with London-based tattoo artist Rich Sinner at Studio Almost to talk design, style and self-expression. Wearing the Noragi Jacket in Navy and Nep Denim Jean Rinse from TDR, he spoke about making space for creative risks, building something of your own, and what TDR means to him.

We sat down with Dr Banana to talk records, fashion and the importance of community. Wearing the All Day Hoodie and Denim Jean in Rinse from TDR, he spoke about how he first got into DJing, the role Atlantis Records has played along the way, and why, for him, TDR stands for ‘The Doctors Riddims’.

We sat down with Nicolas Payne-Baader, co-founder of SLOP Magazine, to talk food, publishing and doing things your own way. Wearing the Carpenter Pant and Watch Cotton Jacket from TDR, he spoke about starting a print magazine focused on produce and process, how SLOP found its voice, and why, for him, TDR stands for ‘Track Down Rules’.
