Universal Works Autumn/Winter '24 Collection

At Neighbourhood, we're thrilled to announce a new drop from Universal Works, and we have even more on the way! The Autumn/Winter '24 collection is now available, bringing with it a unique blend of vintage inspiration and modern style. This season, Universal Works draws from the early London costermongers—traders who used colored neckerchiefs to signify their trade. The large Kingsman neckerchief serves as the cornerstone of the collection, not as a historical piece but as a fresh reference for color and style, perfect for cool winter dressing.

The collection echoes the bold spirit of those early traders with confident patterns and vibrant colors, using a warm, earthy palette to bring textured and tactile fabrics to life. Traditional wool suiting materials are given new life, reimagined for both practical and tailored pieces that subtly challenge the classic workwear aesthetic. Durable recycled denim makes a statement in both a double-breasted suit and a trucker jacket, while winter twills and various weights of corduroy are crafted into versatile outfits that work beautifully as coordinated sets or as stand-alone pieces.

The UW collection is a reminder that whether you're trading fruits and vegetables, contemporary clothing, or innovative ideas, being a "monger" is something to take pride in. In a world where consumerism often feels careless, Universal Works stands out with a philosophy that commerce should benefit both the seller and the buyer. This belief is at the heart of the "Clothesmongers" collection, embodying a dedication to thoughtful, sustainable fashion.

Stay tuned to Neighbourhood for more exciting arrivals from Universal Works and other brands. Explore this collection that seamlessly blends historical inspiration with modern design. Discover pieces that not only stand the test of time but also tell a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and community.
