Founded in 2023 with the belief that contemporary denim can be affordable, responsibly-sourced and timeless — all three, not one at the expense of another.
Utilising deadstock or end-of-run fabrics from renowned denim mills, new styles are developed instinctively and manufactured in short production runs - all styles are limited edition by nature.
Topman, then ASOS, then years sourcing fabric for other people's labels. Enough time inside the industry to know exactly how it's supposed to work — how to make a genuinely good value garment with a luxury handmade feel, at a little over high street prices. Spend up, buy for life, consume less.
Style is in the eye of the beholder. We create original and distinctive pieces that feel right to us. Sometimes to suit a beautiful fabric we've found, other times we find a fabric to suit the particular style or fit we like. We don't know what's next, but we'll know it when we see it.
Our fabrics are either 'deadstock' (end-of-run) or high quality 'rolling stock' articles from mills we trust, in the countries we manufacture in.
It means every run is genuinely limited. Not a scarcity tactic — an output of building the collection from what already exists. No new cotton farming or mill production, minimal waste.
Style
Original fits, developed on instinct — not chasing a trend cycle.
Value
Luxury, handmade garments produced slowly. At a fraction above premium high street retailers.
Responsibility
Deadstock where possible. Existing materials, brought to life for a long life.
Mercurial
Unpredictable and instinctive. Imperfect and evolving.
A wonky old Garage up a backstreet. Our converted Victorian workshop, sympathetically repaired, is our base of operations, pop-up store and the closest thing Walter has to a flashy showroom. Come and have a look, meet the team, talk a while.
The Garage
Middle Lane Mews, Crouch End, London, N8 9PN
Open
Friday to Sunday, 11–5. Call ahead to avoid disappointment.
Learning as we go, doing things our own way and bringing people together. It feels like the right way to go about things. It should be intuitive, challenging, conversational and above all energising. That's the plan, we hope you like it
