Swedish label and retailer Très Bien launched a new collection
Titled ATELJÉ (translation: studio/atelier), the offering cements the brand’s commitment to their native Malmö: all garments have been created either in-house or at local ateliers, and all without industrial machines – emphasising a commitment to artisan craft. Using luxury Italian fabrics, classic shapes and tailoring staples are elevated in tune with the brand’s sustainable and contemporary ethos, while sportswear elements include a baseball jersey inspired by Michael Jordan’s golfing shirt.

Laces that smell like bacon became a thing
Some context: earlier this week Nike released the Nike Air Max 90 “Bacon”, a shoe initially released as a collaboration with former baseball icon Dave Ortiz’ Dave’s Quality Meat. With the excitement of the returning shoe, American meat and cold cut production company Oscar Mayer have gone above and beyond, producing a matching pair of laces that not only look like rashers of bacon but smell like them too. Using their very own Hardwood Smoked Bacon to give the laces their sizzling scent, these are bound to make you very popular with the dogs in your local park.

Oscar Mayer will be hosting a competition running from now until 1st April, to enter tweet Oscar Mayer using the hashtags #OscarCookMyKicks and #Sweepstakes.
