Kent & Curwen Spring/Summer 19

Last Autumn/Winter 18, we were delighted to introduce heritage label Kent & Curwen to Mr & Mr Stitch and with the brand proving popular, we’re pleased to announce the imminent arrival of the Spring/Summer 19 collection. The beginnings of this storied brand can be traced to 1926, almost 90 years ago, when tie-maker Eric Kent and seamstress Dorothy Curwen created the company with the ambition of becoming a university outfitters. Kent & Curwen initially provided ties to high-level institutions such as fee-paying schools and top-tier universities and cemented a reputation for quality. In... Read More

A.P.C – New for Mr Stitch

We are delighted to announce the arrival of renowned French brand A.P.C to Mr & Mrs Stitch! A brand which rejects over stylised and over hyped designs in favour of a more minimalist approach. The A.P.C story began in 1987 when founder Jean Touitou, unsatisfied with the quality of jeans available to him during a trip to Barcelona, decided to make his own! Favouring raw denim over the ‘badly washed’ jeans that dominated the market, Jean was inspired to create a range of simplistic but high quality clothing which put the emphasis back on quality over style-...

New York, New York!

This is a different kind of travel post than I am used to doing if I am honest. In the past when I have been away, I have blogged after the fact, it has mainly been focusing on what I wore or what I had packed.  I’m not even going to give you any real money saving tips either which is what most travel blogs are about.  I will be up front and let you know I didn’t pay for anything.  Ok, that is a lie, I paid for breakfast a couple of mornings...

Do you want to build a snowman?

It’s a snow day! Or as close as Northern Ireland gets to a snow day! Schools have been closed (I am serious), traffic is at a stand still (don’t drive in the snow if you aren’t confident in it!) and people generally look like they are wrapping up to go out in a sub zero climate, myself included. My outfit today comprises of long sleeved top, blue shirt, blue jumper, parka jacket, tights, jeans, trainer socks and fluffy socks.  Not forgetting hat, scarf and gloves. Ok, I may have over...

Moving Day

In the last blog post, I talked about change, fresh starts and moving forward. At Rio Brazil, we have taken this to heart. 2015 is going to be our year and we can’t wait to share it all with you. As of March, we are happy to announce that our fabulous Bradbury Place team will be moving. Where you might ask? To our newly renovated and extended, Wellington Place stores.  We can’t wait to have everyone on site at Rio Brazil HQ and to give you an even better bespoke... Read More

New Year, New You?

2015, the Year of the sheep.  15 years since the potential dreaded computer crash of the millennium, 4 years since Wills and Kate got hitched, 20 years since Take That were a proper foursome and 27 years since I was born. 2015 is going to be a big year, I can feel it!  I have my first close friend getting married, which signals that everything is down hill from here, I have started a fabulous new job and I will probably by the end of the year, sell the first...

Yummy in my Tummy

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

I read a headline the other day that stated “worst winter in Ireland for 5o years coming!” Now whether this ice age winter transpires is another matter entirely but if you haven’t noticed, it has become rather cold outside.  The problem with my wardrobe is that I always go for comfort and warmth.  If it passes for acceptably styled and I am warm then it will get worn no matter what. Anyone I speak to, they always say there is a part of their wardrobe that they feel is lacking,... Read More

Autumn/Winter Showcase 2014

One of our taglines in Rio Brazil and Mr and Mrs Stitch is “We do Fashion.”  We eat it, breath it and I am pretty sure that some of our employees sleep among the Circle of Gentleman shirts.  We try our best to be good at what we do and sometimes we like to show off. Last Saturday and Sunday, we showed off. 160 guests, 64 looks,  8 models, 4 courses of food, 2 streakers, mutiple ooohhh and aahhhss & even one customer logging on to the website and buying...
