My dear fashionistas, welcome to a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. I hope you are well and ready for a new dose of fashion. We start today’s fashion adventure with new friends of the Mr.M blog who come from Spain. The revolutionary brand that I will introduce you to today predicts fashion trends in a special and unique way – MERCADER.

The Mercader brand is an international Spanish brand that anticipates a movement in fashion and tries to influence us in an original way to create fashion that will be seasonless, genderless, and trendless.

The Mercader team believes in celebrating design without definition and specific standards for men or women. They encourages their clients to go beyond what they traditionally understand and believe as masculine and feminine to find what works best for them or what they feel is more comfortable. The reinterpretation of the classics defines the main goals of the Mercader brand. The brand’s creations have a high level of detail and quality, creating pieces with timeless features adapted to this new world.

You must be wondering who is behind this revolutionary MERCADER brand? Luis Mercader is a famous Spanish designer with more than 20 years of experience mainly in the luxury fashion industry. He is constantly building and renewing his Mercader brand and has contributed to prestigious brands as creative and art director. His passion is design without borders. All his projects confirm his passion and will to create.

Recognized for his skill in pattern-making and bespoke tailoring, the Madrid-born designer now brings his signature ‘bespoke’ to ready-to-wear, returning to his roots. Since 2013, the designer has lived between New York, Sao Paulo, Lisbon and Madrid, where his latest project, the hybrid store Mercader, is located.

The Mercader brand relies on geometric shapes and high-quality fabrics. Since design is extremely important, but not decisive, the raw materials used by the Mercader brand are carefully selected to ensure the quality and beauty of Mercader products. The brand creates high-quality clothes and accessories that you can wear with elegance in everyday life, for a long time.

The knowledge and experience of artisans are present in every detail such as leather, fabrics, luxury materials, geometric shapes that define the character of Mercader fashion pieces in perfect harmony with ethics and responsibility, taking a big step closer to a better, more sustainable and more conscious future in the fashion industry.

In today’s fashion story, the entire outfit is composed of clothing pieces and fashion accessories from the MERCADER brand offer.

The Mercader Black Bomber Leather Jacket you see in the pictures is made of premium soft black Nappa lamb leather. This jacket is a classic timeless jacket model with a ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband. In addition to these details, the jacket also has an interesting logo on the front.

This Mercader Striped Colour-Block Oversize Shirt features an interesting oversized cut with short sleeves and a modern retro design that exudes style and sophistication. Contrasting embellishments beautifully complement the elegant and modern aesthetic, making it a statement piece for any occasion. The bold bowling collar adds strength to the silhouette, elevating the overall character and appeal of the shirt.

Mercader Tailored High Waistband Trousers create a special vision of a sophisticated retro silhouette in these black high-rise trousers, which you can wear like me with a leather jacket or with a tuxedo if you want to achieve a completely elegant look for special occasions.

This Mercader Zaha 2 Sunglasses with aviator frame model features a tortoise shell detail on the front and black sides with yellow tinted lenses, providing a bright touch and modern design. The finish is placed with the brand’s logo in gold color on the sides of the temples.

Black Mercader Triangle lace-up sneakers with a futuristic geometric and triangular pattern. A sleek black pony hair and leather upper accented with shiny silver detailing and an engraved logo on the side make this shoe a statement piece. The larger white rubber sole and round toe offer the perfect blend of fashion and functionality, while the quality insole guarantees premium quality.

I believe that you have fallen in love with Mercader items and I would like to inform you that you can buy some of items from the Mercader brand offer online on the Zalando shopping platform. When you gift someone a Mercader fashion piece, it is more than respect and love because you are giving a piece that is woven with love and a deep respect for the art of creating fashion that is not seen every day.

From Spain we will travel for a short time to Italy where we will meet an interesting watch brand that is proof of Italian perfect design and Swiss accuracy, I want to introduce you to a new brand on the Mr.M blog – ENVISION!

Envision is an Italian brand born from the vision of its founder and designer Alessandro Bambini in the productive heart of Italy – Modena, whose passion for watchmaking leads to the creation of wristwatches made in Switzerland with highly innovative designs.

ENVISION aims not only to create watches, but also to design wearable works of art that can seamlessly integrate into the rhythm of modern life and evoke emotions even in the brief moment when we look at the time on our wrist. The ENVISION brand originates from Modena, in the productive heart of Italy, the land of elegance and innovation, with the aim of creating unique and stunning timepieces that embody the art and craftsmanship of Swiss watchmaking.

In the vast and competitive landscape of watchmaking, creating something truly unique and new is an extremely ambitious challenge. That is why every ENVISION model is the result of many years of study and research. However, that alone is not enough. Offering products with avant-garde lines without ensuring that the quality meets expectations would be a challenge lost from the start. That’s why ENVISION makes sure that every watch it creates meets the high standards they set for their brand, while ensuring timely and attentive customer support.

Today I will introduce you to Prisma, the first creation of the Envision brand that deeply embodies the vision of this exceptional Italian watch brand.

A masterful blend of Italian design and Swiss technology, Prisma represents the pinnacle of watchmaking art. Packed with a Sellita SV200-1 automatic mechanical movement tuned by the Envision team, a stainless steel case and sapphire crystal, a Envision Prisma Ruby ​​red dial with a sunray finish and an integrated stainless steel bracelet, this watch is the perfection of luxury in every detail that will grace your wrist. This watch represents an uncompromising choice of style and precision.

The 316L stainless steel case surrounds a high-quality sapphire crystal that features a prismatic cut that captures light beautifully. Each reflection creates a play of light, color and shadow, giving the watch a unique and attractive look.

An expansive dial with a sunburst finish, applied indexes expertly crafted with alternating polished and satin finishes, and glossy dauphin hands all contribute to a unique wrist experience unlike anything we’re used to.

What adorns the Envision Prisma watch model is the innovative integrated bracelet that extends around the case. Each link, crafted with care and dedication, is a continuation of the ends of the case, encompassing the wrist until it reaches the opening clasp that subtly displays the brand’s engraving. Each component, created with care and passion, undergoes rigorous checks by the Envision expert team to ensure quality and durability.

Inside each Prisma’s case beats the Swiss automatic heart, the Sellita movement, which needs no introduction. With 26 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 A/h set internally by the Envision team, and a power reserve of 38 hours, it ensures Swiss reliability and precision.

In addition to Prisma Ruby Red, Envision has 3 more colors in its offer: Prisma Space Gray, Prisma Emerald Green, Prisma Sapphire Blue. In the following fashion stories, I will also introduce you to the Envision Prisma Sapphire Blue!

I’m sure you want to stay updated and find out what all the models Envision watch brand has prepared us, visit their official online store and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of the first summer fashion story this season, where together we discovered the beauty and brilliance of the revolutionary Spanish international brand MERCADER, elegance and prestige with the luxury Italian watch brand ENVISION, partners with whom fashion stories are a real adventure. I sincerely hope you got some inspiration for your ideal summer outfit!

See you soon and continue our fashion adventures on the Mr.M blog! How did you like my outfit today? I really tried my best to prepare today’s post with lots of love and I hope you like it!

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or any message for me, you can write me below in the comments. Of course, as always, you can contact me via email or social media channels, which you can find on the CONTACT page. I’ll see you soon!

With Love,
Mr.M

Mercader sounds to me like a brand that makes quality clothes and fashion accessories. This is the first time I’ve heard of this brand, it’s nice that you’re trying to discover some new brands for fashion lovers as well as the people you inspire everyday. The color black suits you and I think you should wear it more often!

Die Marke Mercader sieht großartig aus und ich liebe dieses Hemd. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich das hoch taillierte Hemd und die Hose. Ich kann sehen, dass diese Hose an dir fantastisch aussieht, aber du hast den Körper eines Topmodels und alle Kleidungsstücke stehen dir großartig! Ich sehe, dass es derzeit Rabatte auf der Zalando-Website gibt und werde sehen, ob ich einige Mercder-Produkte kaufen kann. Mit FG, Friedrich

Dear Marko, you look fantastic! The black color really suits you and I honestly advise you to wear it more often if you have the chance. The shirt is really special and unusual because of the combination of the classic white shirt and the striped print, something I haven’t had the chance to see a lot with other brands.

Excellent outfit! You always look like a top model and I admire your style and the way you represent brands. Your fashion stories always have some substance and anyone who is interested can learn a lot of information and interesting things from the world of fashion. Black color is always the best fashion choice and you look flawless as always. The jacket is pure perfection!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu deinem Outfit, lieber Marko! Schwarz ist die beste Farbe für jeden Mann und eine absolut unfehlbare Wahl, wenn es ums Anziehen geht. Dein heutiges Outfit ist sehr ungewöhnlich, weil du es geschafft hast, elegante Mode und urbane Mode in nur einem Outfit zu verbinden. Sie kennen sich wirklich gut mit Mode aus und haben ein zeitloses Gespür für Stil. Viele Grüße aus Berlin und ich hoffe, dass Du bald wieder zu uns kommst, denn wir vermissen Dich als Berlinerin. Ich erinnere mich, als du deine Karriere begonnen hast und Modegeschichten aus Berlin geschrieben hast, hast du nichts… Read more »

Hello Marko, I always look forward to the posts where you uncover a house I’ve never come across, and Mercader is exactly that kind of discovery. The idea of a designer who spent two decades in bespoke tailoring before turning to ready-to-wear genuinely appeals to me, because that grounding tends to show in the cut. I’m drawn to the bomber in Nappa lamb leather, though I usually find lamb a touch delicate for everyday wear, how has it held up for you so far? The head-to-toe black reads beautifully in these images, with the red dial of the watch as… Read more »

Ciao Marko, che piacere vedere finalmente un marchio nato a Modena ricevere attenzione su un blog internazionale. Envision mi incuriosisce molto: il connubio tra design italiano e movimento svizzero Sellita è una formula che rispetto, perché unisce gusto e affidabilità. Il quadrante rosso rubino con finitura sunray cattura la luce in modo splendido nelle tue foto. Mi chiedo quale sia il diametro della cassa del Prisma, perché cerco un orologio dal profilo contenuto che stia bene anche sotto il polsino di una camicia. Complimenti per la scelta, sobria ma decisa.

Lieber Marko, was für eine elegante Sommergeschichte. Die Bomberjacke aus schwarzem Nappa-Lammleder finde ich besonders gelungen, gerade wegen des gerippten Kragens und der Bündchen, die der Form Halt geben. Mich würde interessieren, ob Mercader eher klein oder groß ausfällt, denn ich überlege, ein Stück über Zalando zu bestellen. Dass Luis Mercader aus der Maßschneiderei kommt, merkt man dem Schnitt sofort an. Schwarz steht Ihnen ausgezeichnet, und die ruhige Farbgebung lässt die Details der einzelnen Stücke erst richtig wirken.

Hola Marko, como español me alegra muchísimo ver a Mercader presentado con tanto cuidado fuera de nuestras fronteras. Luis Mercader lleva más de veinte años en la alta moda y se nota en la limpieza de las líneas y en la apuesta por las formas geométricas. La camisa oversize a rayas con cuello bowling me parece la pieza más atrevida del conjunto, y aun así la llevas con total naturalidad. ¿Crees que esa camisa funcionaría también para un hombre de complexión más ancha, o pierde su gracia fuera del corte oversize? Un saludo desde Madrid, donde tienen su tienda híbrida.

Marko, I have to thank you, because it was your earlier piece on Loro Piana in Prague that finally convinced me to stop chasing logos and invest in quiet, well-made clothing instead. This Mercader story continues that thread perfectly the brand’s seasonless, trendless philosophy is precisely the direction I’ve been moving in. The bomber has the kind of restrained logo I can actually live with, and the high-waisted trousers give the whole look an old-world cut that most labels have abandoned. The fact that everything is built on geometric shapes and proper fabrics rather than novelty is what sells it… Read more »

Bonjour Marko, votre regard sur les jeunes maisons reste l’une des raisons pour lesquelles je vous lis depuis des années. Mercader m’était totalement inconnu, et l’idée d’une mode sans saison ni genre, pensée autour de la géométrie, a quelque chose de très contemporain. La veste bomber en cuir d’agneau Nappa est magnifique, mais je me demande comment elle se comporte sous la pluie, car le cuir d’agneau reste fragile. Le pantalon à taille haute, en revanche, donne une silhouette que j’apprécie énormément. Auriez-vous un conseil pour l’associer à une chaussure plus classique qu’une basket?

Hallo Marko, weer een ontdekking waar ik nog nooit van had gehoord. Wat Mercader doet met geometrische vormen en hoogwaardige stoffen spreekt me erg aan, zeker omdat het merk inzet op tijdloosheid in plaats van trends. De zwarte Nappa-leren bomber staat je werkelijk uitstekend, en de rode wijzerplaat van het Envision-horloge geeft net dat accent dat het geheel nodig heeft. Weet jij of Mercader ook buiten Zalando naar Nederland verzendt? Ik zou graag eens iets rechtstreeks uit hun eigen webshop bestellen.

Marko, the Envision Prisma is the real star of this story for me. I’ve owned a couple of Swiss microbrand pieces over the years, and a Sellita automatic in a properly finished 316L steel case is exactly the kind of honest value I look for. The prismatic-cut sapphire crystal is a clever touch, and the sunray ruby dial photographs wonderfully against your black outfit. Do you happen to know the case diameter, and whether the integrated bracelet links can be removed easily for sizing? I’d hate to fall for it and then find it sits awkwardly on a slimmer wrist.

Olá Marko, que descoberta interessante. Fiquei especialmente curioso ao ler que Luis Mercader viveu entre Nova Iorque, São Paulo, Lisboa e Madrid, porque sou de Lisboa e gosto de saber que a cidade fez parte do percurso de um criador assim. A filosofia de uma moda sem género e sem estação parece-me cada vez mais atual, sobretudo quando assenta em alfaiataria a sério. O casaco bomber em pele de cordeiro tem um aspeto soberbo nas fotografias. Sabes se a marca tem presença física fora de Madrid, ou por enquanto só existe a loja híbrida?

Lieber Marko, ich schätze an Ihren Modegeschichten, dass immer Substanz dahintersteckt und nicht nur schöne Bilder. Die Verbindung von spanischem Mercader und italienischem Envision in einem einzigen Beitrag ist klug gewählt, weil beide Marken denselben Anspruch teilen: zeitlose Qualität statt schneller Trends. Besonders gefällt mir, dass Envision das Sellita-Werk in der Schweiz veredeln lässt und damit auf bewährte Technik setzt. Das Outfit wirkt geschlossen und durchdacht, vom Lederblouson bis zur Hose. Weiter so.

Caro Marko, da appassionato di orologeria ho apprezzato moltissimo la parte dedicata a Envision. Sapere che Alessandro Bambini ha fondato il marchio a Modena, terra di motori e di eccellenza manifatturiera, rende il progetto ancora più affascinante. Il Prisma Ruby Red ha un quadrante che, dalle tue foto, sembra cambiare a seconda della luce grazie alla finitura sunray. Tra le quattro varianti, secondo te quale si abbina meglio a un guardaroba sobrio e prevalentemente scuro come il mio? Sono indeciso tra lo Space Gray e il Sapphire Blue.

Hello Marko, this is one of those posts that sends me straight to a brand’s website, and Mercader did not disappoint. I love that the trousers are a genuine high-rise cut, so few labels make a proper high waistband anymore, and it changes the whole proportion of an outfit. You mention you’d even wear them with a tuxedo; I’m curious how you’d dress them down for daytime without losing that retro elegance. The striped colour-block shirt is bold, but you’ve balanced it well with the black leather. Thanks for the inspiration.

Buenas, Marko. Me ha encantado el enfoque del artículo, sobre todo porque presentas a Mercader como una casa que reinterpreta los clásicos en lugar de inventar modas pasajeras. Las gafas Zaha 2, con la montura de aviador y las lentes de tono amarillo, me parecen el detalle más original de todo el conjunto. ¿Sabes si esas gafas se pueden graduar, o de momento solo existen como gafas de sol? Tengo miopía y me cuesta encontrar monturas con personalidad que admitan cristales graduados.

Marko, quelle belle ouverture pour vos histoires estivales. J’apprécie particulièrement que vous mettiez en avant une maison espagnole qui assume une mode sans genre et sans saison, car c’est une vision que peu de marques osent porter aussi clairement. Le travail sur les formes géométriques se ressent jusque dans les baskets Triangle, dont le motif et la semelle blanche tranchent avec le reste du noir. La montre Envision, née à Modène et animée par un mouvement suisse, complète l’ensemble avec beaucoup de cohérence. Un vrai plaisir de lecture.

Cześć Marko, z prawdziwą przyjemnością przeczytałem ten wpis o dwóch markach, których wcześniej nie znałem. Mercader ze swoim podejściem ponadczasowym i ponadsezonowym bardzo do mnie przemawia, bo od lat staram się kupować rzadziej, ale lepiej. Skórzana kurtka bomber z jagnięcej nappy wygląda znakomicie, zwłaszcza ze ściągaczem przy kołnierzu i mankietach. Czy wiesz, jak marka radzi sobie z większymi rozmiarami, bo jestem dość wysoki i rękawy często bywają dla mnie za krótkie? Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Krakowa.

Hello Marko, what intrigues me most here is Mercader’s genderless philosophy, and I think it’s braver than the brands that merely slap the word onto a campaign. As a woman who has long borrowed from menswear, I find the idea of clothes designed without a fixed gender genuinely refreshing rather than gimmicky. The oversize striped shirt in particular looks like something I would happily wear myself. Do you think the bomber would translate as well on a smaller frame, or is it cut specifically with a man’s shoulders in mind? Lovely, thoughtful styling as always.

Ciao Marko, seguo il tuo blog da tempo e questa storia conferma il tuo occhio per i marchi che valgono davvero. Mercader unisce sartorialità e forme geometriche con un’eleganza misurata che apprezzo molto. Trovo poetica l’idea che regalare un capo Mercader significhi donare qualcosa intessuto di rispetto per l’arte di fare moda. L’orologio Envision, con la sua cassa in acciaio e il cristallo zaffiro, aggiunge quel tocco di precisione svizzera che completa il racconto. Bravo, davvero.

Lieber Marko, Ihre Begeisterung für gut gemachte Mode ist ansteckend. Mir gefällt, dass Mercader so konsequent auf hochwertige Stoffe und nachhaltigeres Arbeiten setzt, ohne dabei laut oder belehrend zu wirken. Das gestreifte Oversize-Hemd mit dem Bowling-Kragen ist ein mutiges Statement, das Sie aber ganz selbstverständlich tragen. Würden Sie dieses Hemd auch jemandem empfehlen, der sich sonst eher klassisch und zurückhaltend kleidet? Herzliche Grüße aus Hamburg.

Marko, a fine pairing of brands in this one. The Envision Prisma strikes me as remarkably well specified for a young Italian house — a Sellita movement, sapphire crystal and an integrated bracelet are not things one takes for granted at this level. I noticed the power reserve is around thirty-eight hours, which is fairly standard, so I’m curious whether it keeps good time off the wrist over a weekend. The ruby dial is a brave choice and it works precisely because the rest of your outfit is so disciplined. Do you find an integrated bracelet harder to live with… Read more »

Hoi Marko, wat een verfrissend verhaal om de zomer mee in te gaan. De combinatie van een Spaans modehuis en een Italiaans horlogemerk in één post werkt verrassend goed, juist omdat beide draaien om vakmanschap in plaats van hypes. De Triangle-sneakers met dat geometrische patroon en de witte zool vind ik het verrassendst van de hele look. Weet jij of die sneakers comfortabel genoeg zijn om lange tijd te dragen, of zijn ze vooral een statement? Ik ben de hele dag op de been en let sterk op pasvorm.

Marko, te escribo desde Madrid, donde la tienda híbrida de Mercader se ha convertido en una pequeña referencia para quienes buscamos algo distinto a las grandes firmas de siempre. Me parece muy acertado que destaques el origen artesanal de la marca y su respeto por los materiales nobles. El conjunto negro con la chaqueta de piel y el pantalón de talle alto tiene una elegancia retro que casi nadie se atreve a llevar hoy en día. Y ese reloj de esfera roja le aporta un punto de carácter perfecto. Enhorabuena por un artículo tan cuidado.

Bonjour Marko, j’ai découvert votre blog grâce à vos articles de voyage, mais ce sont désormais vos histoires de mode qui me retiennent. Mercader m’a immédiatement séduite par cette idée de réinterprétation des classiques, loin du tapage habituel. Les lunettes Zaha 2, avec leur monture écaille et leurs verres jaunes, ont une vraie personnalité, le nom évoque d’ailleurs irrésistiblement l’architecte Zaha Hadid et ses lignes géométriques. Pensez-vous que ce modèle conviendrait à un visage assez fin, ou écrase-t-il les traits délicats ? Merci pour cette belle découverte.

Hello Marko, the detail that stopped me here was the Triangle sneaker — a pony hair and leather upper is an unusual choice, and I confess I’m of two minds about it. On one hand it’s beautifully tactile and clearly a statement; on the other, I worry about how pony hair wears over time in real conditions. Have you had the chance to wear them out and about yet, and if so, how are they holding up? The silver detailing and the white sole give them a futuristic edge that suits Mercader’s whole geometric language. I’d value your honest take… Read more »

Olá Marko, mais uma vez trazes uma marca que vale a pena conhecer. A Envision interessa-me bastante, sobretudo por nascer em Modena e confiar a parte mecânica à relojoaria suíça com um movimento Sellita. O Prisma Ruby Red tem um vermelho intenso que contrasta lindamente com o teu visual todo preto. Disseste que vais apresentar em breve o Sapphire Blue esse é o que mais me atrai pela versatilidade. Achas que o azul fica melhor com tons frios, ou é suficientemente discreto para combinar com tudo?

Marko, devo ringraziarti perché è stato proprio un tuo articolo a farmi scoprire Envision qualche mese fa, e da allora porto al polso il Prisma e ne sono entusiasta. La finitura sunray del quadrante cambia continuamente sotto la luce e ricevo complimenti ovunque vada. Il movimento Sellita è preciso e affidabile, esattamente come ci si aspetta da una buona base svizzera ben regolata. Vedere ora il marchio abbinato a Mercader in questa storia mi ha fatto piacere, perché entrambe le case condividono la stessa cura per i dettagli. Continua così, le tue scelte sono sempre azzeccate.

Lieber Marko, ein rundum gelungener Auftakt in die Sommersaison. Die hohe Bundhose von Mercader hat mich sofort angesprochen, denn diese retro-elegante Linie sieht man heute viel zu selten. Sie schreiben, man könne sie sowohl zur Lederjacke als auch zum Smoking tragen, könnten Sie das etwas ausführen, etwa welche Schuhe Sie zur formellen Variante empfehlen würden? Dass alles aus dem Hause Mercader stammt, verleiht dem Look eine schöne Geschlossenheit. Vielen Dank für die Anregung.

Marko, there’s a quiet intelligence to this brand that I appreciate. Naming a pair of sunglasses “Zaha” can hardly be an accident it reads as a nod to Zaha Hadid, and once you see it, Mercader’s obsession with geometry and fluid form makes complete sense across the whole collection, from the triangular sneaker pattern to the architectural cut of the trousers. The tortoiseshell-and-black frame with the yellow lens is genuinely distinctive without being loud. Do you know whether Luis Mercader has spoken anywhere about the design references behind the line? I’d love to read more about the thinking behind it.

Hola Marko, un artículo magnífico para empezar el verano. Me gusta especialmente que Mercader apueste por una producción más responsable y consciente sin convertirlo en una pose de marketing. La chaqueta bomber de piel de cordero Nappa luce espectacular en las fotos, con ese cuello acanalado tan característico. ¿Sabrías decirme si esa piel necesita algún cuidado especial para mantenerse bien con el paso de los años? Quiero invertir en una buena prenda de piel y prefiero hacerlo con conocimiento.

Marko, je suis toujours impressionné par la cohérence de vos tenues. Ici, tout est Mercader, de la veste aux baskets, et pourtant rien ne paraît uniforme grâce au jeu des matières et des coupes. La montre Envision apporte la seule touche de couleur, et ce rouge rubis est parfaitement dosé. Diriez-vous que ce cuir d’agneau Nappa convient à un usage urbain quotidien, ou le réservez-vous plutôt aux sorties soignées ? J’hésite justement à investir dans un blouson de ce type pour la mi-saison.

Hallo Marko, wat een mooi en doordacht artikel om de zomer mee te openen. Het idee van Mercader, kleding zonder seizoen, zonder geslacht, zonder trend vind ik oprecht moedig en bovendien duurzamer dan de meeste merken durven te zijn. Het overhemd met kleurblokken en de bowlingkraag is gewaagd, maar je draagt het met een vanzelfsprekende elegantie. De rode wijzerplaat van de Envision is precies het accent dat de hele zwarte look laat ademen. Bedankt voor deze ontdekking.

Hello Marko, I took your advice from a previous post and have started buying fewer, better things, so a brand like Mercader is right up my street. I see the shirt and the Triangle sneakers are both available through Zalando, which makes trying the brand far less daunting than ordering blind from abroad. Before I commit, though, I’d love to know how Mercader’s sizing compares to, say, a standard Italian or Spanish label, do you size up in the oversize pieces or stay true to size? Your styling here is impeccable, and the head-to-toe black with that single red dial… Read more »

Ciao Marko, complimenti per questa accoppiata di marchi davvero ben scelta. Da modenese mi riempie d’orgoglio vedere Envision raccontato con tanta attenzione, perché Alessandro Bambini sta facendo qualcosa di serio nella nostra città. Il Prisma, con cassa in acciaio 316L e cristallo zaffiro dalla particolare sfaccettatura prismatica, ha un carattere tutto suo. Sai dirmi se esiste in una misura di cassa più contenuta, diciamo sotto i quaranta millimetri, perché ho il polso piuttosto sottile? Ti seguo sempre con piacere.

Marko, dziękuję za kolejny inspirujący wpis o markach, które naprawdę mają coś do powiedzenia. Filozofia Mercadera, oparta na geometrii i szlachetnych tkaninach zamiast na chwilowych trendach, bardzo odpowiada mojemu podejściu do garderoby. Zegarek Envision ze szwajcarskim mechanizmem Sellita i szafirowym szkłem to dla mnie idealne połączenie włoskiego designu z precyzją. Cały zestaw w czerni z jednym czerwonym akcentem na nadgarstku wygląda wyjątkowo elegancko. Pozdrawiam z Wrocławia.

Lieber Marko, dass Sie eine spanische und eine italienische Marke in einer einzigen Geschichte vereinen, zeigt einmal mehr Ihr feines Gespür. Die Envision Prisma überzeugt mich technisch, vor allem das Sellita-Werk mit 28.800 Halbschwingungen pro Stunde und die solide Verarbeitung. Mich würde interessieren, ob die Uhr alltagstauglich wasserdicht ist, also etwa beim Händewaschen oder bei leichtem Regen. Die rubinrote Variante ist ein Wagnis, das in Kombination mit dem schwarzen Outfit aber bestens aufgeht. Beste Grüße aus München.

Marko, qué placer leer un artículo tan bien documentado. Como amante de la sastrería me fascina que Luis Mercader haya trasladado su experiencia en la confección a medida al prêt-à-porter sin perder un ápice de oficio. La reinterpretación de los clásicos que defiende la marca se aprecia en cada pieza, desde el cuello bowling de la camisa hasta el corte del pantalón. Llevar todo el conjunto en negro y dejar que el reloj sea el único color es una decisión muy elegante. Un abrazo y sigue así.

Bonjour Marko, voilà exactement le genre de découverte qui me pousse à revenir sur votre blog. L’approche durable et consciente revendiquée par Mercader me touche, d’autant qu’elle s’appuie sur un vrai savoir-faire artisanal plutôt que sur des slogans. J’aime beaucoup la veste bomber, mais je me demande si son logo sur le devant reste discret en personne ou s’il attire trop l’œil. Pourriez-vous décrire la taille et le rendu de ce logo? Je préfère les pièces sobres et je tiens à m’en assurer avant tout achat.

Olá Marko, obrigado por mais uma história de moda cheia de conteúdo e não apenas de imagens bonitas. A ideia de uma marca que cria peças intemporais, para usar com elegância no dia a dia durante muitos anos, é precisamente o que procuro nesta fase da vida. As calças de cintura subida dão uma silhueta retro que adoro e que quase desapareceu das lojas. Como as combinarias para um ambiente de trabalho mais formal, mantendo esse ar elegante mas sem a jaqueta de pele? Cumprimentos desde o Porto.
