We are excited to be the exclusive London stockist for Darte London, a brand built from a dedication and passion for vintage military and workwear. We love their fastidious approach to detail and quality workmanship, making timeless garments that embody the spirit of a era passed whilst remaining relevant to current trends.
Darte is founded by Edward Stanford and Michael Stampler. Garments are made in-house by the two of us, in our East London studio, as well as some production items made with small manufacturing partners.
Ed is a self-taught artist and illustrator and has worked alongside British menswear designer Nigel Cabourn. Ed has a keen eye for design aesthetic and detail, honed from restoring and repairing vintage garments as well as collecting rare vintage military and workwear for around 15 years.
Mike is a designer and craftsman originating from Pennsylvania USA. Mike was one of a small handful of Americans left still making jeans professionally by hand before moving to London. He has made thousands of garments. His expertise in construction and execution is unrivaled.
