09.6.13 / timeless AÃRK collective

so attracted and drawn this.

the CLASSIC tor to i s e by AÃRK

AÃRK Collective founded in Melbourne, Australia, has the desire to create. they are driven to make ideas come to life.

*t i m e less carat*

good design, long lasting and connected with like-minded individuals

approach of designing time is neither rushed nor forced. it is considered, nurtured and organic. designed with originality and sincerity. aiming for perfect harmony between design, functionality and aesthetics, every detail is meticulously scope and constantly refined.

(iconic graphite by AÃRK)

The Iconic is a statement. Influenced by industrial and avionic instruments, it is raw, tough and precise. With solid form and proportions, it’s a utilitarian piece built for durability and aesthetic beauty; its endurance and strength are paramount.

At the core of the Iconic lies a 1:10 chronograph Japanese Quartz movement. Its dial is designed for both function and symmetry, with acid-etched details and a rotating bezel that can keep track of elapsed time. A 3mm Italian calfskin leather band complements the durability of the case, and softens with each wear for every day comfort. The 316L Aircraft-grade stainless steel has been PVD ion plated, which, combined with the 42mm diameter construction, ensures the Iconic will remain strong and intact.

The art of minimalist design is the backbone of the Classic. It’s easy, refined and plays around with colour to offer each wearer a character that best represents them. Perfectly balanced in design and function, this watch is a true representation of AÃRK.

simple. honest. heartfelt.

this is why we love AÃRK Collective – they create what they feel and do it because they love it. a true reflection of their belief and passion.

the essential structure of each watch is inspired by the appreciation of geometry, graphic elements and minimalist design. a balance of each factor with the unique function of each movement that forms the individual characteristics of their timepieces.

“who we are, what we love and everything we believe in”

All AÃRK watches are made to be loved and to last.

uh huh, we share it with you, now it’s your turn to find out.

Come join us at our Official Opening of hook&union store at Orchard Central on the 14th June 2013, this coming friday!

AÃRK will be launched during the Official Opening, and only available at Orchard Central (hook & union) store.

14.5.13 /SUNDAY SOMEWHERE

if you’re looking for sunglasses that have a personality of its own, not a trend-follower, let us introduce to you our new friend based in Sydney – Sunday Somewhere ; it is intrinsically a unique mindset.

no need for catchy slogans

no need for by-lines

no need for pleasing everyone

Sunday Somewhere prefers to be themselves. their brand philosophy is simple as that. they carry the make-up-your-own-mind attitude and the brand relies on inspiring image to assist with the vision to it which customers can relate to.

crafted. classic. modern frames.

quality. simplicity. originality.

Sunday Somewhere’s inspiration comes from the past and future. Remember the classic vintage frames, intricate modern detailing and futuristic resources, Sunday Somewhere finish is practical and a wearable modernity but not just that, it is “classic with a twist” which makes every piece timeless and fresh.

now now, surprise surprise. Sunday Somewhere not only sell sunglasses but they have cool, awesome caps with really exclusive designs.

every caps comes with a different, eye-catching design – all from Sunday Somewhere. i wished i had more heads to wear them everyday (;

this tie-dye rainbow cap is definitely one of the favourites!

hmm…. it rly reminds us of the olden days 90’s paddle pop ice cream. mmm….

tiger stripes to take you to cloud 9, the material of each caps differ. most of the black ones like this,

the black surface area is velvet material which is really comfortable and not too stiff for your fitting. it fits nicely into your head and adapts to your head’s shape.

comfort is the key.

13.5.13 /WAITING FOR THE SUN

presenting to you a new family member of ours;

waiting for the sun :*)

x

hand-carved wooden frames. eco-friendly sunglasses – we can’t help but to be drawn to such beauty.

besides its good quality german spring hinge, this paris french-based eyewear brand offers lightweight, comfort-first and aesthetic appeal. we love how everything can be of such good quality and such high offering and yet, saving the environment!

it has a wide variety of sunglasses + glasses to keep you spoilt for choice!

glasses are superb. it’s lightweight will never leave your eyes tired or allow your nose/cheeks to hurt. with everything that you have to benefit, you’re also putting in good karma points in your pocket by being kind to your environment~!

it is made out of natural wood (australian tea wood, rose wood and bamboo) – which are reusable resources – hence, contributing to your environment. all their materials/resources used to craft your frames are sent for strict quality checks and processing (no worries!). Oh, and do notice that not all wood are the same, so each piece are definitely one-of-a-kind, carefully structured by the natural veins of the wood.

one of our popular favourite! the mint colour just sets the mood right for anything or EVERYTHING!

and not forgetting, the sunglasses collection. you get your different frame designs, some flat-top lookalikes, aviators, classic wayfarer, john lennon’s round style and even cat eye!

what’s the best is, wood changes naturally over time with use, due to natural conditions such as sunlight and moisture, therefore – like the saying goes “a faded loved pair of jeans only gets better with age” ; bingo, this IS your “faded pair of jeans” for eyes which only gets better overtime.

you have to come down to try them out to know what we mean! you won’t regret (we promise!) so if you wanna grab your hands on these wonderful designs from Waiting For The Sun, they are now available at hook & union (orchard central) and dh.sunglass @ haji lane. we hope to see you there!

have a great week ahead, fashionistas!
