The worst thing about going to Europe is that the plane ticket alone takes a whack out of your savings. By the time you hit the bustling Champs Elysees or the back-alley boutiques of Stockholm, you’ve been wearing the same jeans for three weeks straight.
Filling a suitcase with classic A.P.C trenches, slick tees from Acne and Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair swing jackets is costly in more ways than one. But at The New Guard, these labels sit locally beside select Australians such as Arnsdorf and ELLERY. A lot of this stuff ain’t easy to find in Australia, let alone Adelaide, so luckily we can also buy online.
Sure, by trading plane tickets for clothes you won’t come away with the obligatory ‘Tour Eiffel’ happy snaps, but you will be looking amazing right here on home turf. Sadly though, The New Guard only stocks ladieswear – lads, you’ll still have to fly 20 hours and deal with excess baggage fees. Sacre Bleu!
