The British brand Lavenham celebrates its 20th anniversary in Japan this year, in 2014.
With a history spanning over 40 years, every Lavenham garment is carefully crafted to withstand about 10 years of wear.
Many of you have likely seen their elegant quilted jackets before, haven't you?
For this anniversary collaboration, Narifuri has created a piece of apparel that truly captures our signature style.
Why not take this opportunity to give it a try?
NFLV-01 : narifuri×LAVENHAM quilting vest ¥35,700
We’ve taken the classic quilted vest, combined it with Narifuri’s original jacquard camo, and added a convenient back pocket.
It’s a versatile item that works as an inner layer during the current cold weather, or over a shirt in the spring.
Plus, the subdued tone of the jacquard camo doesn’t diminish the refined quality inherent to Lavenham.
NFLV-02 : narifuri×LAVENHAM quilting short pants ¥30,450
These are quilted shorts made from the same material as the jacket.
In fact, Narifuri has managed to create what is actually Lavenham’s very first pair of shorts! (It’s a surprise!)
Designed with an original Narifuri pattern, these shorts are easy to move in and feature reinforced double-layered fabric on the seat to prevent wear from the saddle.
Quilted shorts make a bold statement, but they are actually easy to style—you can wear them with tights or on their own.
Best of all, they’re warm, and I personally love how easy they are to put on and take off, thanks to the elastic waist and adjustable tape belt.
This is Lavenham, made much more bike-friendly with that quintessential "Narifuri" touch.

Best regards!
