Couverture presents its Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, a curated mix of womenswear and homeware that combines comfort, texture, and considered design. New brands Wild Animals and Séfr join long-standing favourites Rachel Comey, Renata Brenha, Cawley, and Soeur, bringing soft knits, sculptural tailoring, and layered silhouettes that define the season.

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’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.

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.

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.

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. Watch the full video below to find out more. 

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’.
