IN THE UK TWEED HAS BEEN USED IN A VERY NON-TRADITIONAL WAY WITH THE LAUNCH OF A LIMITED COLLECTION OF TRAINERS BY CONVERSE.

The traditional woollen fabric that is more often seen at a weekend in the country will now be gracing city streets in a range that includes classic high-tops featuring vibrant pink and red tones, as well as lo-tops in more muted greens and greys.

The range has been produced in collaboration with the London-based textile company Dashing Tweeds who quite incidentally I have recently ordered a length of fantastic tweed fabric from for a suit that I am designing and making for myself here at J. H. Cutler.
