Spring/Summer 09

Collaborations

The Griffin collaborations have become an important part of the Griffin brand. Our collaborations are seen more like relationships, continually growing and developing to offer our customers exciting products season after season and not just as a once in a life time pieces. 

The Griffin X Berghaus range started back in 2007. This line has been a huge success in Asia where it has been exclusively available. In 2009 we will be launching this line into the UK market, up until now it has only been available exclusively online at the Griffin Online Store and at the Berghaus flagship in Covent Garden. This season sees the launch of three new designs the Pro Trek, Paclite and Rapid Windshirt.

Spring/summer 09 sees the launch of our third range of coats with renowned outdoor wear manufacturers, Mackintosh. A brand built on heritage and true craftsmanship, Mackintosh has a history that spans almost two hundred years, producing iconic coats, such as the Trench coat for the fashion industries biggest brands.  A true innovator, Charles Macintosh developed the process of spreading rubber onto cotton creating the worlds first formal waterproof fabric.

This coming season we have developed the iconic trench coat. Adding the Griffin twist to a formally traditional piece, this time in desert camo DPM. With influence from the war in Afghanistan Jeff drew on his local surroundings and images in the press to highlight the prominence of the military uniform.

The Baracuta collaboration came about during a time when Jeff was heavily influenced by the music scene surrounding this brand. Made in England since 1937 Baracuta was conceived in Manchester and has since become synonymous with not only quality rainwear, but iconic sartorial ambassadors to the tune of Steve McQueen, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. Like-minded in their pursuit of creating elegant sportswear of unique quality the ongoing partnership between Griffin and Baracuta leads the two companies into their fourth collaborative jacket for spring/summer 2009.

2009 will see the Griffin brand move towards exciting new ventures with various companies and individuals, offering products that compliment the Griffin line. The Fixed gear bike movement that has hit the urban world, has become an inspirational tool for Griffin and his design team. The lifestyle of a modern day urbanite has changed and the fixed gear bike has become the centre of that world. September 2009 will see the launch of an exciting new colab.
