What to buy from Old Stone Trade
While luxury fashion brands seem to be in meltdown, it feels like we’re rediscovering the joy of really good clothes. Considered cuts, well-made, and respectfully priced so their makers get paid decently. That’s the ethos of Old Stone Trade, a niche online marketplace that’s been going viral on SubStack.
It’s a simple premise. Niche artisan makers sell classic, small-batch Americana-leaning designs such as a satin-collared tuxedo, Aran knitwear and ivory wool trousers – below – that look very similar to the old-school boys’ cricket trousers I’ve been hankering for, ever since spying a 1930s design at an Umbro exhibition.
Everything is impeccably styled by founder (and ex fashion editor) Melissa Ventosa Martin, ensuring a far-from-dry desirability. My stand-out pieces are the Nanna Pause double-face ‘David coat’ and the 90s-cut made-to-order jean – top – by Glenn’s Denim (run by former Levi’s master tailor, Glenn Liburd).
