A (NOT SO) QUIET JANUARY

This Was · January 2026

January gave us a bit of breathing room after a busy end of the year — but it wasn’t exactly quiet. The Winter Sale ran strong, with plenty of pieces finding a new home. Just as important, it freed up some much-needed space in the warehouse for what’s coming next. Behind the scenes, we worked on new drops: choosing colors, refining designs, and plenty of calls with our partners in Portugal — plus a short inspiration roadtrip to Munich.

The month also came with proper winter conditions. Snow slowed things down at times, but it also gave us some scenes and photos we couldn’t ignore. In between, we even managed to catch a coffee in the winter sun. We received a wave of kind reviews from people who received Erstwhile as a gift during the holidays. One last thing we can already share: a few long-time favorites will be making a return in a few weeks.

See you soon,
