Gola x Tado Collection
After a series of successful collaborations, British sportswear brand Gola have teamed up with hot UK based design duo Tado for SS10.
The vibrant collection features unique characters created specifically for Gola by Tado in their trademark manga-inspired style, including cute and fuzzy ‘Pomme’, 60s diva ‘Luxey’, lanky runner ‘Berwyn’ and his rainbow coloured moustache, ‘Martin’ the bespectacled geek, ‘Botterill’ the football mad bobble hat and the rather hungry looking mod ‘Welfed’, complete with scooter.
In 80s brights and fluro colours, the retro inspired range features Tado’s designs on the classic Redford bag, high and low top trainers and apparel for both men and women.
The Gola by Tado collaboration is set to be a massive success, with Tado’s vibrant and fun style perfectly complementing Gola’s ethos for quirky design – get ready to grab a piece whilst you can!
The collection will be hitting our website next week; in the meantime, head over to the website to see our full range of Gola bags.

Gola Bags
On the look out for a bag that is practical but full of vintage charm? Then take a look at quintessential British brand Gola.
Born of humble beginnings in a small factory in 1905, Gola Bags has experienced a rollercoaster ride, surviving two World Wars and various other trials and tribulations to blossom in the 1960s and 70s as the pre-eminent sportswear brand.
Today Gola creatively incorporates its unprecedented heritage into its flagship designs, taking inspiration from their iconic bags of the sixties and combining retro styles from yesteryear with today’s most sought-after trends.
Their AW09 collection features an array of blast from the past colourways in the classic Gola Bronson and Gola Redford bags that really catch the retro vibe. Among our favourites are the Gola Retro Shoulder Redford Bag in Navy Blue/White, the Gola Redford 40th Anniversary Shoulder Bag in Black and the Gola Retro Shoulder Bronson Bag – Black/Ecru, but we’ll let you make up your own mind!

Eastpak Bags Fall ‘09
Eastpak Bags are the authentic brand for packs and bags…famed for their style, toughness & functionality.
Originally established 1960 by Monte Goldman, Eastpak started life as ‘Eastern Canvas Products’ making products such as duffel bags and knapsacks for the armed forces. In 1976 Monte’s son Mark noticed that students were using military daypacks as book bags and convinced his father to begin manufacturing a line of daypacks especially for consumers. The collection was introduced under the Eastpak name and fast became a favourite among the alternative thinkers across college and university campuses.
Eastpak was the first brand to use Cordura to make its packs – making them tougher, stronger and better value for money than any of the others out there. They were also the first brand to experiment with wild colours and bold prints making their bags fun and fashionable. It’s this vision and innovative approach that has seen Eastpak develop into the brand it is today - producing a range of bags, apparel and accessories that combine style, utility and value for money.
They pride themselves on their ‘Built to Resist’ philosophy and offer a 30 year warranty on all their standard* packs and luggage, so you can buy with confidence.
Eastpak is the real deal, don’t accept anything less!
