The Rake, my favourite magazine (and I hope yours too) launched its new website some weeks ago and today, as London Collections:Men starts in London, it opens its online atelier at which they will offer many mouthwatering goodies for gentlemen.
And what a start they've got off to with these absolutely stunning 'Urban Commando' boots which are the product of a collaboration between The Rake and Gaziano & Girling. English-made, of course, they must be the most elegant and sexy boots I've ever seen (well, maybe some women's boots are sexier) and I badly want a pair.
In addition (don't read on if you are of a weak disposition), the atelier will offer exclusive Drake's ties in archive fabrics, Parisian patinaed sneakers by a patina artist called Paulus Bolten, an exclusive unstructured Rubinacci hi-twist basketweave Rubinacci travel jacket, signature Rubinacci silk-linen printed scarves, elasticated vintage-inspired Albert Thurston braces and Ludwig Reiter Austrian calf-length boots. Visit The Rake Online for more information and to browse the atelier.
