FPM Milano: My Fashionable Black and White World…

Fashion Outfit Post 7 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to the first February fashion story on the Mr.M blog! I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to all the readers of the Mr.M blog, because they were deprived of a fashion story last Friday. Many of you have sent me messages on social media and emails asking when the story will be published, but I took a little break due to health problems. I sincerely hope you enjoy today’s fashion story.

I believe that you have learned a lot about me by now, and as far as fashion seasons are concerned, you know that the most interesting stories have always been from the autumn-winter period and how much I have a special love for this cold, but also interesting fashion season. Winter is my favorite time of the year, when we are able to dress in “layers”, but we can wear some fashion pieces that will help us brighten up the gloomy winter days.

Today we are meeting again with an interesting Italian brand Fabbrica Pelletterie Milano – FPM. This exclusive Italian brand of leather goods and luggage was founded in 1946. FPM Milano represents the artistic expression of the best Italian talent and aesthetics, as well as excellent expertise. Traditional hand-crafting with the use of top-quality materials is today combined with the innovations of avant-garde metals and modern design.

FPM Milano luggage offers travelers practicality and style, all in one suitcase and backpack. Designed by Marc Sadler, these lightweight aluminum-clad and reinforced suitcases are inspired by vintage trunks, purpose-built to give you the durability you need on your travels. The combination of Avante-Garde materials and Italian design motifs give these FPM suitcases a robust and secure look.

In today’s post, I present to you an exceptional fashion accessory from a special limited collection that was launched on the American market – a leather backpack from the Bank on the Road Econyl® collection that is entirely made in Italy, ideal for business and leisure people, capable to satisfy any practical functional or aesthetic need. The practical inner pocket of the backpack allows you to charge your tablet and smartphone anytime, anywhere. This modern, elegant backpack is made of the highest quality leather with special attention to metal details. Aluminum personalization recalls the innovative creativity of the FPM Bank collection.

In the previous posts, you had the opportunity to see the same model of the backpack, which is made of high-quality and waterproof nylon in a wonderful dark blue – navy color.

I believe that many of you will wonder why I chose a leather backpack of such a light color, when it is a well-known fashion fact that white things can be dirty only “by looking at it”. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to enjoy the color palette of different leather goods, but I have never been able to fulfill my desire to have a light-colored backpack: white, beige or cream. I love bright colors and it’s hard to find leather backpacks in these colors on the market.

When I received an email from the FPM Milano team, I have to admit that when I saw the 3 colors offered: white, cognac (camel) and black, I immediately knew it was fateful. Bank on the road is a backpack model that really proved to be a good friend on my back during my adventures around the world. My navy nylon backpack has traveled with me for more than several tens of thousands of kilometers and after so many years is in very good condition, as you could see a few days ago on the Mr.M blog in one of the previous fashion stories. If you want to remind yourself of some details or by any chance you didn’t get to read the story, you can visit the following link.

As I mentioned a little while ago, this leather model of the Bank on the Road backpack is made in 3 colors: black, cognac (camel) and black. I am confident that everyone will find their favorite color and wear the backpack with great joy, noting that this line of leather Bank on the Road backpacks is available in the American market, so you can ask your friends, acquaintances or maybe if you have some family members who live in territory of the United States of America to assist you in purchasing this backpack model.

If you want to stay up to date and find out which models of suitcases and travel accessories the FPM Milano brand has in its offer, visit their official online store and follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Brunello Cucinelli is a famous Italian luxury fashion brand that sells a full range of men’s and women’s clothing and accessories in Europe, North America and East Asia. The company was founded by Mr. Brunello Cuccinelli in 1978. An interesting fact related to the founder of this legendary brand is his outlook on life, as well as his special life philosophy and refined fashion taste, which strongly influenced others. Mr. Brunello Cuccinelli deservedly became one of the most loved people in Italy, but also around the world. For all fashion lovers, he is a symbol of modern entrepreneurship of the 21st century.

How did this fashion story begin? When Brunello Cuccinelli turned 25, he came up with the idea of making cashmere clothes. He wanted to make “Made in Italy” products that are of high quality, with a bit of innovation with a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship. Brunello Cucinelli opened his fashion house in 1978 specializing in Mongolian cashmere clothing for women. In June 2014, owner Brunello Cucinelli transferred ownership of the company in an effort to be supportive and beneficial to his daughters and continue his philanthropic work.

In 2017, Brunello Cuccinelli recorded an incredible record in sales of its fashion range worth 500 million euros, of which 35% in North America. An interesting fact is that the company owns 94 of its 124 branded stores worldwide. In January 2017, Brunello Cuccinelli launched his online store. Last year, the brand began its first foray into the world of perfume by presenting two fragrances designed with Euroitalia, a company specialized in the creation and distribution of luxury perfumes.

In today’s post, you have the opportunity to see the shearling coat, which is a piece from the new FW 23/24 collection. The production of the shearling coat is exceptional and it is important to note that it is handmade using natural materials that support sustainable fashion.

If you want to stay up to date and find out what all the fashion novelties the Brunello Cuccinelli brand has in its offer this season, visit their official online store and follow them on the social media Facebook and Instagram.

OUTFIT

Shearling Coat: Brunello Cucinelli

Turtleneck Sweater: Mauro Ottaviani

Trousers: Marco Pescarolo

Backpack: FPM Milano

Shoes: Ferragamo

Mauro Ottaviani is an iconic Italian brand of refined premium knitwear that warms fashion lovers all over Europe and the world with its incredible pieces! How to describe this Italian brand in 3 words? Passion, innovation and coherence. These are associations for the Mauro Ottaviani brand, which aims to provide a concrete answer to the needs of modern men, who are used to dynamic rhythms, yet capable of appreciating the values of quality and design. The search for raw materials became a central element, following the philosophy that high performance is obtained when design and functionality are perfectly balanced.

How did this brand come about? The roots of this fashion house date back to 1978, when Raniero Ottaviani founded what is still the production core of today’s company – passion and love for knitwear. A few years later, in 1993 to be exact, Raniere’s three children – Mauro, Simona and Elena – took over the group, inspired by their father’s work, but looking for a way to develop it in order to take the family legacy even further.

In today’s post you have the opportunity to see a 100% cashmere roll top, model WS28037 MAKALU. This winter, Mauro Ottaviani has prepared models made of 16 types of fibers and materials for all lovers of quality and refined knitwear. The roll you see on me is made of pure cashmere.

Pure cashmere is the basic yarn of luxury knitwear, it has a soft and silky texture, it is also firm, but also extremely pleasant to the touch. Classic, timeless and exciting material. This yarn is obtained from the fleece of the Hircus goat, and has the following essential characteristics: isothermal (maintains a stable body temperature), hygroscopic (breathable) and antistatic (does not attract dust). The comfort of wearing cashmere clothes knows no bounds. This type of yarn is inherently brilliant and provides perfect color definition. All the colors are strikingly bright and fascinating, especially the white, which embodies the purity of the fiber, as you can see in my fashion story today.

The Mauro Ottaviani brand specializes as a high-level service that offers quality support to its customers, who are among the most demanding names in Italian and international menswear. The company’s geographical location in the heart of the Umbrian production region guarantees access to superior craftsmanship and the expertise of a great culture and tradition.

If you want to stay updated and find out what the Mauro Ottaviani knitwear brand has prepared for the new winter season, visit their official website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Since the whole outfit was in a certain elegant tone, I decided to wear my favorite Salvatore Ferragamo in croc leather. I must admit that they completed this outfit in an unusual way. Of course, the black color fits perfectly with the colors that prevail in my wardrobe. Ferragamo is a famous Italian brand that is at the very top of the fashion industry and has conquered the fashion scene. After several years of success, he managed to occupy a high position in the world of fashion and is known for the production of the famous women’s Varina ballet flats and men’s sneakers made of exotic leathers.

My dear fashionistas, we have come to the end of the first February fashion story, where together we discovered the beauty and splendor of elegance with the Italian brand Brunello Cucinelli, elegance and prestige with the luxury Italian knitwear brand Mauro Ottaviani, refined elegance with Marco Pescarolo, the prestigious of the Italian brand of travel haberdashery and accessories FPM Milano, partners with whom fashion stories are a real adventure. I sincerely hope you got some inspiration for your ideal outfit!

FPM Milano: Everything You need to Travel in Style!

Fashion Outfit Post 5 Comments

My dear fashionistas and travelers, welcome to another fashion story on the Mr.M blog in 2024! Winter is my favorite time of the year, when we are able to dress in “layers”, but if you travel in winter it can cause “bittersweet” when packing the things you need to take on the trip. As a person who travels often, it is very important for me to have quality and durable luggage, which will also be elegant and stylish. To many of you, I have become recognizable for my Burberry coats and quality suitcases, as you have noticed that I always try to have interesting suitcases and other travel accessories.

Today we are hanging out again with an interesting Italian brand Fabbrica Pelletterie Milano – FPM. This exclusive Italian brand of leather goods and luggage was founded in 1946. FPM represents the artistic expression of the best Italian talent and aesthetics, as well as excellent expertise. Traditional hand-crafting with the use of top-quality materials is today combined with the innovations of avant-garde metals and modern design.

FPM Milano luggage offers travelers practicality and style, all in one suitcase and backpack. Designed by Marc Sadler, these lightweight aluminum-clad and reinforced suitcases are inspired by vintage trunks, purpose-built to give you the durability you need on your travels. The combination of Avante-Garde materials and Italian design motifs give these FPM suitcases a robust and secure look.

In today’s post I present to you a backpack and duffle bag from the Bank on the Road Econyl® collection, which is entirely made in Italy, ideal for business people and leisure, able to satisfy any practical functional or aesthetic need. The practical inner pocket of the backpack allows you to charge your tablet and smartphone anytime, anywhere. A modern, elegant line of backpacks, made of high-quality and waterproof nylon with special attention to leather and metal details. Aluminum personalization recalls the innovative creativity of the FPM Bank collection.

An extremely light duffle travel bag and with a practical detachable shoulder strap, this travel bag is also decorated with the iconic butterfly lock.

Many people feel that it is important to have a quality suitcase that can accompany all adventures, so I decided to take my FPM Milano BANK ZIP DLX SPINNER 55 navy blue cabin trolley with black leather details on my new trip that brought me luck this year. Not only is it practical, lightweight, but it’s also a photogenic suitcase that many people asked me about at the airport where I bought it. FPM Milano luggage offers travelers practicality and style, all in one. Designed by Marc Sadler, these lightweight aluminum clad and reinforced suitcases are inspired by vintage trunks, purpose-built to give you the durability you need on your travels. The combination of Avante-Garde materials and Italian design motifs give these FPM suitcases a robust and secure look.

I’m sure you remember the brand Aida Barni, which is synonymous with the perfect softness and refined Italian processing of cashmere. Last season we enjoyed the beauty of pastel colors, while this year I decided to paint cold winter days with some bright colors. Soft, light and warm cashmere items are also a good investment and practical gift during the fall-winter. When you give someone a cashmere sweater, it is a gift from the heart, because a cashmere sweater carries a certain symbolism with it.

Aida Barni is a brand that belongs to the Annapurna group. Founded in 1978, the Annapurna Group has become one of the leading Italian and world manufacturers of high-quality cashmere knitwear with its two fashion lines, Annapurna and Aida Barni.

Annapurna uses all the latest production techniques available on the market, from cotton looms to the latest and most advanced knitwear machines of all sizes. The current production capacity is about 120,000 pieces per year. It is important to note that the entire production cycle is performed in Italy, more precisely in the factory of the company located in the city of Prato, which is also the center of the province of the same name located in the heart of Italy – Tuscany.

“Made in Italy” is more than a production concept, but this brand has proven to be much more than the perfect cashmere sweater on a store shelf. It is love at first touch, an impression to remember.

Annapurna is a name that evokes everyone with exceptional mountain landscapes, especially the mountain range in the Himalayas where goats live with their winter fleece, hiding the soft, warm “cloak” that made them so famous.

Aida Barni is an iconic and fascinating name for a fashion line that produces high quality knitwear from the finest cashmere. Aida Barni is a symbol of a goal for a woman who decided to enter the world of business in the late seventies and reach the very top of this challenging and one of the most difficult sectors of the market.

The Aida Barni brand was created as an artistic expression of the way of life and existence, the essence of unstressed chic, refined luxury. A collection for men and women dedicated to everyone who loves timeless and elegant knitwear that encompasses true elegance in the preciousness of materials, shapes and details.

The man who wears Aida Barni knitwear does not follow trends, but creates and adapts to the needs of everyday life. The men’s collection is made up of cult clothing items of sentimental value, which evoke a healthy and environmentally friendly way of life. Customers of the Aida Barni brand love natural and fine yarns, enjoy comfort, but do not give up the elegance and sophistication of cuts and models.

Aida Barni concept of men’s “sports elegance” is simple and with style, but rich in materials and inconspicuous details that make this brand cult because it represents an expression of uniqueness and special class.

The red cashmere sweater V Neck you see in today’s post is from the latest Aida Barni FW23 collection, a wonderful refreshing red color and is made of pure cashmere. Refreshing color for the new season!

You can buy Aida Barni cashmere items in multi-brand stores and department stores across Europe and the world and through authorized online stores. When you give someone an Aida Barni piece, it is more than respect and love because you are giving a piece in which love and deep respect for art that is not worshiped every day is woven.

For all Aida Barni fans in Germany, I have discovered two men’s spots where you can find and enjoy in the beauty of Aida Barni incredible knitwear: Braun Hamburg and Mientus retail stores.

If you want to stay tuned and find out all the news that Aida Barni is preparing for us this fashion season, follow them on the social networks Facebook and Instagram.

Today I will continue story about new friends of the Mr.M blog who have managed to bring together exquisite luxury artisan crafts, Italian passion and exquisite Neapolitan craftsmanship. Artigiano del Guanto (ADG) is an artisan glove workshop active in the northern part of Naples, founded by Giovanni Ricciardiello, an experienced glove maker for 10 decades, a historical exponent of the tradition of the ancient Neapolitan glove makers. A few years ago, in 2016 to be precise, the laboratory was renovated and with it the brand was born: Artigiano Del Guanto.

Today, Artigiano Del Guanto is no longer a “simple” workshop of artisan gloves, but a family company in which the new generation of heirs Francesco, Mimmo and Flora, Giovanni’s children stand out, who, with the indispensable presence of their father, in addition to the brand, renewed the production chain with a completely new styles and models, connected with new modern communication channels, in order to satisfy the needs of even the most demanding customer. Over the years, the Artigiano Del Guanto collections have attracted the attention of very prestigious international high fashion brands such as Giorgio Armani, MaxMara, Coccinelle and Pinko, with whom today the Ricciardiello family’s ADG artisan glove laboratory proudly collaborates as an official manufacturer.

In today’s fashion story, I will present you unusual gloves made of special microperforated leather, ZGK-8132 “Black Eagle”. Microperforated leather in red color, the model is characterized by the presence of flaps and covered buckles. The lining is made of 100% cashmere. I want to mention that color combinations are possible and you can create your own gloves, just like I did. When ordering, it is necessary to specify the main shade of the glove when choosing a color, and in the notes to add information about another shade to make a two-color version, if it is a two-color product, as I did.

Otherwise, simply specify your preferred one favorite color when ordering monocolor pair of gloves. As this is a purely artisan glove, made by hand, it is available in every size or color shown in the product listing. Sometimes the possibility of “Express delivery” is guaranteed for the color visible in the product photo. In order to receive a glove in one of the colors available on the company’s color card, the artisan production time with shipping included can take up to 15 days.

TATRAS: A Brand that combines Functionality and Polished Aesthetic…

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

My dear fashionistas, welcome to another fashion adventure on the Mr.M blog! We all know how important it is that the clothes we wear have certain characteristics. Since I am a double virgo as my zodiac signs, you all know how virgos strive for perfection and see details that other zodiac signs may not notice. In today’s fashion story, I present to you a new brand that combines functionality and polished aesthetics – TATRAS.

How was the idea for this unique fashion brand born? TATRAS was created 16 years ago, more precisely in 2007, when the history of this brand began to be written with the hope that this will be one great entrepreneurial dream. In just 16 years of existence, the Tatras brand has found its place on the international market in the production of top quality jackets, developing a perfect synergy between products, communication and distribution. In the early years, TATRAS first established brand awareness in its native Japan by positioning itself in the country’s top department stores. The next step was to start internationalizing the brand by opening a showroom in Milan to optimize distribution in Italy, USA, Korea and around the world.

The TATRAS creative team is exclusively guided by the following goals when creating each new collection: Each jacket must be functional, each product must have elements of polished aesthetics and each product must be unique – “One and only”. People who wear TATRAS clothing successfully illustrate the perfect combination of sophistication and innovation for modern cosmopolitan living. TATRAS is proof that hard work pays off. The brand is developing and strengthening in new markets every day, while it has achieved great success in Europe, the USA and the Far East, as well as in Italy and Japan.

The first TATRAS store, characterized by a contemporary and essential style, opened in October 2014 in a refined, elegant exterior in the prestigious area of Tokyo Aoyama in Japan, where the most famous fashion houses are located. At the end of February 2018, TATRAS opened its first flagship store in the West in the heart of Europe, choosing Milan as the first showcase on the European market. The space, located within the fashion district of Via Spiga 3, features the brand’s Japanese minimalism in a Western translation, with a completely international result that is always among the main characteristics of the brand.

TATRAS is the right brand for all those fashion lovers who are looking for practicality and minimalist elegance, where the brand’s meticulous attention to detail. The brand constantly continues to raise its quality and identity over the years. Reflecting the ever-changing society, TATRAS continuously pushes its boundaries as a brand that celebrates the diversity and inclusiveness of this modern world.

Exploring the DNA of the brand, TATRAS enjoys collaborating with other creatives in the art world. Experimenting with the synergy of creative minds, the brand enriches its spirit through these collaborations.

In today’s fashion story, you have the opportunity to see the TATRAS jacket model BENE in white, which was specially made as part of a special monogram collection that was made in honor of the celebration of the 15th anniversary of the TATRAS brand. In addition to white, this jacket model is also available in black. In a special limited edition monogram collection, you can find TATRAS famous jacket models updated with the TATRAS monogram pattern, inspired by urban cityscapes.

The jacket you can see has a two-way zip fastening, all the details are silver color, elastic cuffs and a hood that can be removed if needed, if you want to wear the jacket without the hood and change its look. One of the sleeves features the brand’s logo, while the jacket is made of nylon jacquard material, which makes the jacket waterproof.

If you want to stay updated you can find out news about the TATRAS brand, visit their official online store and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

I believe that many of you have noticed that today’s society is developing quickly, time just flies and we miss many things in life, because of that sometimes we realize that we are missing some small details in life that make life more beautiful and different. Our new fashion friend from Denmark reminds us of some important little things in life with the hope that it will revive the childhood memories of its customers and remind them of the importance of the wonderful nature.

Forét covers all aspects of contemporary wardrobe, it is in this variety and versatility that the true appeal of this Danish brand can be found. Due to the importance of nature, the forét collection offers a sense of nostalgia and modern functionality that appeals to something in all of us, regardless of whether we live in the city or outdoors.

Every piece they make strives to blur the line between outdoor clothing and casual fashion pieces, while maintaining forét’s signature sense of quietness and simplicity. The Forét collections offer the opportunity to enjoy the rolling hills, take a deep breath of fresh, rural air and escape the speed of change for a moment.

In a world where we are forced to constantly refresh our wardrobe, forét has the bold attitude to offer items that can be worn on different occasions. Forét is characterized by high-quality timelessness from every angle. Organic cotton twill with vibrant touches and refined two-tone constructions for a collection that’s as suited to the wild as it is to the office, all rounded off with a sense of patience and restraint. This brand strives to find the golden mean between contemporary style and functionality through responsibly made clothing for all occasions.

The inspiration for the Forét brand (inspired by the French word for “forest”) grew out of a love of nature. forét—from its very name to its mantra of slowing down—is inextricably linked to the natural world. It follows that this Danish brand aspires to be a key part of the shift towards a more responsible future, a shift that is nothing less than essential in the fashion industry. To do it right, they carefully monitor every aspect of their business, rationalizing and developing each part in a responsible way to successfully provide a wardrobe for our life’s journey.

In today’s post I present to you the Forét dark green sweatshirt with the quote “Home, sweet home” embroidered, this green sweater is the key point of the Forét spring collection. Made from 100% organic cotton, the piece has raglan sleeves for optimal range of motion. “Home Sweet Home” was created for people who are looking for a place to call home. Whether it’s a house or apartment, or even your local forest, cabin or beach, this hoodie is simply your go-to for finding your own personal space of inner peace.

Another piece that completed my outfit today are the Forét navy trousers with a classic cut, which are also part of the new Forét spring collection. This was a great combination of green and taupe with a modernist white jacket.

Everyone who follows the Mr.M blog knows that I am a big fan of quality and interesting shoes, regardless of whether they are sneakers or elegant shoes, I always try to pay maximum attention to fashion details such as footwear. Today we are meeting for a very first time with a Swiss shoe brand that I deeply believe will conquer the whole world.

The Swiss brand RUBIROSA produces elegant shoes with which you can escape from everyday life. Made in Italy, RUBIROSA stands for quality, sustainability and understated luxury. Each shoe is an icon in its own right, built to last, crafted with style. RUBIROSA is helping to create a new modern dress code.

Rubi loved life, and RUBIROSA is an invitation to live a more refined life filled with elegance. In the following posts, we will get to know this brand more and I will introduce you in detail to their unusual story.

One Fashionable Letter from Heart of Lithuania: From Vilnius with Love!

Fashion Outfit Post Travel 6 Comments

Dear my fashionistas and travelers, welcome to the new fashion adventure on Mr.M blog! I know you love my travel stories, so despite the bad weather in the Lithuanian capital, I tried to make at least one fashion story.

Today we will talk more about fashion, but if by any chance you want to remember the travelogue from Vilnius, the heart of Lithuania, you can read travelogues about this unusual city at the following links:

  1. Letters from Lithuania: Vilnius, the Pearl of the Baltic you will love!
  2. Letters from Lithuania: Vilnius, a City of Rich History and Fairy-tale Architecture…

I must be honest that I looked at the weather forecast several times before the trip to Lithuania, but I sincerely hoped that the weather would improve at least at some point during my stay in the heart of Lithuania, but all hopes sank with rain that did not stop falling… The highlight of this trip is that I “caught” a period of less than an hour to take pictures of my outfit.

Today’s outfit will be a combination of new pieces and some old ones that were dear to you and loved on the blog, so I hope we will remind you of some interesting brands that you liked to see on the Mr.M blog.

Since the weather in Lithuania was more similar to autumn – early winter in Germany, I decided it was safer to bring a winter jacket. Luckily, I wasn’t wrong, as you can see I also wore gloves, which you can notice how spring in the Baltics can be quite different than we can expect during the month of April…

As you know in fashion industry, winter jackets were big, quite bulky and heavy, while today it is completely different. Today, the mirror is of real quality when the jacket is light as a feather, and extremely warm and suitable for all winter conditions. So it is with my jacket – the parka I got from my friends from Paul&Shark. This is its 3rd season and I really have to praise this incredible jacket! We visited the coldest parts of the world together, including temperatures that went down to minus 25 in beautiful, but extremely cold St. Petersburg. We survived various rains and snows, but here we are still hanging out.

The new technologies of the Fill Power 700 and 900 from the Paul & Shark fashion house provide incredible comfort with excellent thermal properties, which allows the jacket to help you withstand even the lowest temperatures. Filling strength 700 and 900 denote the insulation strength by determining its weight-to-strength ratio: it is considered one of the best available jackets on the market, thanks to its high degree of thermal insulation compared to its size. Feathers create “small pockets of air” that create a thermal barrier, ensuring maximum protection.

Since I receive several messages and emails on a weekly basis with the questions: “Marko, do you really keep all these things and do you really wear them?”, I think you got my answer in today’s post. ?

There is no person in the world who can hide his joy when he feel the new Italian leather. Today we will meet again the Italian family workshop for handmade Restelli gloves, a place where the art, tradition and beauty of handicrafts meet every day, which is the true definition of the Italian style and way of life. Making gloves is not only a job but also a real art. After 100 years, passion, emotions, tradition and knowledge have been passed on to the third generation! Raffaella Restelli has fully accepted the challenges of the new fashion era in which the market and the way of selling have changed with deep respect and belief in tradition and love for masterpieces that last!

In today’s post, you have the opportunity to see Restelli gloves made of special deerskin. These luxury leather gloves are made of the highest quality leather. The lining of these gloves is made of cashmere. For my visit to Vilnius, I decided to take a walk in my navy blue gloves, which were extremely warm and a real fashion accessory for this unexpected “winter spring” in the Baltics!

Restelli gloves are not valued with money, but with tradition and history full of love and patience that are priceless.

One of the brands that has recognized positive energy and love for adventures and unusual journeys is the Swiss watch brand Certina. We have already met with this brand during the winter season on the Mr.M blog and if you are interested to know why this brand is so special and unique, read the story at this link.

Certina watches are known for their precision, reliability and sporty character. The sports watch brand has built an international reputation for quality Swiss workmanship, during its long history, which is more than 130 years long. Certina is a symbol of durability and longevity, which is why the mascot of the turtle armor brand symbolizes robustness and longevity – characteristics that all Certina watches, without exception. Therefore, it is no wonder that turtle armor has been a symbol of the brand since the 1960s. Today, the distinctive outline can still be found on almost every Certina watch, as well as on the brand logo. It evokes the exceptional endurance that characterizes every Certina watch.

Today, after 60 years, Certina DS Jubile adorns my hand. It is an unusual feeling when one such brand with unique watch designs is my new partner in my adventures. The watch you have the opportunity to see in today’s post is the DS Jubile model, which exists in two versions, the basic one with a steel bracelet and the other with a leather bracelet. This watch combines precious materials with maximum precision.

This elegant men’s watch is equipped with an 18K yellow gold frame. It is powered by an innovative PrecidriveTM quartz movement, whose precision and reliability are confirmed by COSC. The watch has a date display. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and stainless steel case make this watch durable and robust: the watch can withstand water pressures up to 10 ATM. Illuminated hands contrast with the background and thus always provide the best readability. The stainless steel bracelet, which is attached to the wrist together with the button, makes this model from Certina impressive!

This turtleneck sweater was your favorite because of the unusual color and it became very dear to me. Aida Barni turtleneck neon green color is made of 100% cashmere. A classic model with a zippered collar that is ideal for all occasions, whether it’s going to work or an casual city walk, this sweater is the right choice for every modern man with style. This sweater can be worn with classic trousers, but also with jeans, as I did in today’s post, to get an casual everyday look.

DRUMOHR: Simple Design, Exuding Effortless Elegance and Sophistication…

Fashion Outfit Post 4 Comments

Dear my fashionistas, I hope you are doing great and ready for a new fashion story on the Mr.M blog. People who follow my blog know that I always try to present some interesting brands with which I share vision and ideas. I want to share with you one unusual fashion story that you could have fun with this weekend! Enjoy the beautiful weather and I look forward to your opinions!

Today’s post will start with one interesting brand of luxury knits Drumohr. Excellence in the history of creating quality knitwear from 1770, a brand that originates from the Scottish plateau, where the Robertson family made their products with different types of materials that made garments warmer and more luxurious. A special feature of this brand is the famous “razor blade” print, a recognizable element of the Drumohr brand pattern sample, which is today known as the Drumohr “Biscottino”.

The legacy of the brand continues in the 1960s, when Mr. Roberto Taffelli fell in love with a unique “razor blade” pattern and claimed to be the only reseller in Italy. From that moment on, the Drumohr brand became a reference for style and quality for a select clientele like the British royal family.

Over the years, Drumohr has collaborated with some of the most influential names in modern fashion, such as Colette Paris and Nick Wooster. His timeless sense of aesthetics and continuous research to use the finest materials have introduced the Drumohr brand to some of the best department stores around the world such as Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, Le Bon Marché, Beams, Harvey Nichols, Barneys New York and Excelsior Department Store in Milan.

Today, the brand produces its knits in Italy and specializes in making quality and luxury knits. Their clothing items are unique and iconic, a luxury that can be felt at the first touch, unique items that will enrich your life in the years to come.

In today’s post, I present you the famous Drumohr sweater model with the characteristic Razor Blade pattern in a two-tone jacquard blue/white version. This is a long-sleeved cotton/linen sweater with a classic round neckline. This garment is a regular cut, it has recognizable Drumohr details such as: neckline, cuff and sleeve hem are made of a single color rib that is dark blue in my model.

I advise you to listen to my advice due to the current health situation with the new strain of Coronavirus in almost all Asian, European and countries around the world. I would ask you to get vaccinated so that we can all defeat the invisible enemy together and together allow things to go back to normal.

If you have been fully vaccinated (2 vaccine doses or 3rd booster dose) you can travel normally for almost all countries, but before each trip, please make sure that you are informed about the local laws related to the health care of the local community, so you can travel easily.

If you have a question, comment, suggestion or message for me, you can write me down in the comments. Of course, as always you can contact me via mail or social media channels, which you can find on the CONTACT page. See you soon, stay tuned!

With Love from Germany,
Mr.M
