Collection: Makepeace
We’ve loved this tiled signage at the top of Digbeth High Street for as long as we can remember; it's something of a local landmark.
The premises has stood tall since 1913 and was owned for many years by G. A. Makepeace, a retailer of second hand clothing.
While that business is long gone, the name lives on.
With this launch, we pay homage to Birmingham clothiers past and also acknowledge the power of the alternative meaning that can be taken from the sign that remains.
We live in turbulent times but this longstanding, seemingly untouchable sign feels like an instruction and an encouragement for those of us who believe in creating a more positive future.
