As the seasons turn and the golden glow of autumn arrives, the team at Scruples 1984 couldn’t be more excited.
Stylish new collections of outerwear are arriving from globally recognised fashion houses including French-Canadian label Mackage and Paul & Shark along with beautifully-cut, classic pieces in fabulous fabrics from world-renowned Loro Piana and cashmere denim jeans from Richard J Brown.
“This season’s collections are simply stunning,” says store manager Tom Orrell, who with founder and director Stephen Collins, embarks on regular seasonal buying trips to all the major European fashion houses.
MACKAGE
Mackage is a long-standing outerwear specialist and this season at Scruples the label has surpassed all expectations with a new seasonal colour – ‘Trench’. Scruples 1984 is the only UK stockist of two coats in this shade. The quilted Roland and Graydon are totally exclusive to Scruples as Tom explains: “We love Mackage and are delighted that we are the only stockists in the UK of these coats in this season’s signature colour, Trench, which is a light beige. Mackage is a high-performance label that never disappoints.”
PAUL & SHARK
A favourite with Scruples, long-standing Paul & Shark has created some stunning new designs for the A/W seasons with two outstanding weather resistant soft-shell jackets that have been added to the early release collection that include co-ordinating overshirts, polo and tees – with more collections due to arrive any time!
HERNO
The Italian giant! “We’re really impressed with this season’s Herno collection,” says Tom, who adds: “Herno has realigned itself with our philosophy here at Scruples, which is fabulous!” With a collection of new sports-performance puffas with their long-line and fur-lined parka styles, the Herno collection this season is simply stunning.
LORO PIANA
With the introduction of new seasonal fabrics by Loro Piana, Scruples has an exclusive collection thanks to their unique collaboration with this world-renowned label. Autumn shades include stylish palettes of beige, purple and aubergine, while Loro Piana’s, beautiful pièce de résistance cashmere, features in outstanding, made-to-measure, tailored jackets and blazers in blue and rustic pink with contrasting lining: “The lining is really ‘out there’!” says Tom. “It’s bold, it’s loud and it’s colourful, making these pieces represent the season while being ultra-stylish and super-fun.”
RICHARD J BROWN
At Scruples Richard J Brown (RJB) has become synonymous with jeans – not just any jeans. Like Scruples other top-notch denim brands, including Jacob Cohen and Tramarossa, RJB pieces are outstanding in cut, fit and wearability. This season sees RJB launch an exclusive cotton-cashmere blend fabric giving a clean, classic cut that feels ultra-soft and totally refined – in eight colourways, including charcoal, beige, taupe and mushroom.
PARAJUMPERS
Incredibly impressed with Parajumpers, Scruples 1984 has brought a new collection back for the season. Tonal branding, sports performance jackets with amazing new designs, this small, capsule collection really demonstrates the direction of the brand – representing phenomenal value for money and aesthetically sharp. Tom says: “Parajumpers was probably our most popular collection of 22/23, but the following season we went on to introduce Herno, Canali plus others. However, after being invited to the new showroom in London and seeing the products, we are excited to follow the brand’s direction and host this capsule collection in-store this season. There are three outstanding jackets, in various colourways with full tonal branding. They’re very cool – I’ve got one myself!”
Always excited to introduce the new-season collections, Tom adds: “This season is no exception. We buy way in advance – we are currently buying for next spring/summer – so when the collections arrive, they create a real buzz for the team in-store and among our customers.
“This season seems more exciting than ever with innovative new designs, featuring lots of inspiration for a super-stylish, new look!”
