TRIWA Watches

It is believed that the world’s first plastic watch was designed in Naples, Italy, in a response to the cities high crime rate. Neapolitans wanted to wear classic-style watches without worrying about them being stolen. When the founders of TRIWA visited Naples, they saw the potential in this new design but were tired of the pale colours typical of Scandinavian fashion. Once back in Sweden, they sat at the drawing board and developed the first ever completely orange watch. The Swedes were enthusiastic about the new watch and liked the idea of adding a bit of colour to their outfits. Within a few months, TRIWA had presented an array of colour schemes and set out to add colour to new markets. With its modern material, bold colours and unique designs.

J Lindeberg Spring/Summer 2010 Collection

Made from Plastic is very pleased to bring you J Lindeberg’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection, which sees them explore the dynamic and vibrant focal point of pristine tailoring and active sportswear. With a tradition in both tailoring and sports, it was quite a natural progression to launch a “Techno Couture” concept. Combining lightweight materials with woven/wool structures, blending cotton/wool garments with Tech Linings and mesh, lining nylon garments with Cotton and introducing waterproof/breathable/3-layer fabrics for dressed garments demonstrates a commitment to refreshed fabric combinations and execution

This culminates in a collection that is brimming with energy, elegance and eccentricity and, most importantly, is still true to our Scandinavian heritage.
