Tomas Gittins
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.

Friends of Couverture: Clare O'Connell
We are joined by Clare O’Connell, a content creator whose work we’ve long followed and admired, to curate a corner of Couverture. On her Instagram, she documents the ongoing renovation of her dream family home, sharing the process of shaping a space that balances character and functionality. Alongside this, she regularly showcases design ideas from across the globe, from architecture to interiors, offering a thoughtful take on how we interact with the spaces around us.
HAY x Emma Kohlmann
HAY’s latest collaboration with artist Emma Kohlmann brings her painterly touch to the table. For La Pittura, Kohlmann translates her loose, watercolour-like motifs onto stoneware plates, bowls, cups, trivets, a jug and a vase, each piece holding the tactility of clay and the immediacy of a painting. Made to be used and lived with, yet striking enough to display, they blur the line between functional object and art.
Converse First String
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.
25 Years of Couverture
Couverture & The Garbstore marks its 25th anniversary with a series of exclusive collaborations. To celebrate the milestone, limited-edition pieces arrive from long-time partners including Renata Brenha, Donna Wilson, Sideline, Laite Works and more. Founded by Emily Dyson-Paley with a vision for thoughtful design and craft, Couverture has grown into the Notting Hill destination for womenswear, jewellery and homeware. This year’s anniversary collections reflect that same spirit - considered, creative, and rooted in community.
