Established in the Summer of 2006 in the North West of England, Connoisseur is a brand inspired by various aspects of cult and popular culture. We buzz off the finer things in life. Art, film, music, football, the great outdoors, cask ales and everything that fills the gaps in between.
We reckon we've got a keen eye for detail we try to exercise that eye on the garms we put together. Our aim is ...to breathe fresh air into timeless style. We hook into the traditional working class values we were brought up with and give them a coat of contemporary cool.
While we're quite chuffed with how things have gone so far, we know where we fit in. We're just a few lads from the outskirts of a big city trying to spread a slightly warped strain of whatever it is that makes us tick. Some people seem to like it.
We keep things limited, believing those who deserve them the most will be rewarded. We could of course cash in and make mad money on bigger production runs, and tasteless tat but where's the fun in that? Better to retain integrity. We are a cult, not a cash in.
We sell our wares to everyone. Some of our likers are hikers and push-bikers. From top table lads to style-conscious Dads, students and their teachers; we have no person in mind when we design our t-shirts, outerwear, knitted hats, caps and polos.
We do what we like and we like what we do.
We've kept an ethos and stuck to it from the very beginning and continue to do our own thing. We inspire many with our creativity, product and overall brand ideal which is a joy to behold. Yet we're also continuously aped by others, if anything this merely prompts us to better ourselves coming up with new ideas whilst continuing to do what we have always done best. We're a small brand but one that's growing as we go.
We are the cool alternative. There's more to connoisseur, it's a community as much as it is a brand. So whether you're into dressing up, football, film, music or drinking the finest ales available to humanity check out our in-depth website, there's plenty to see and enjoy here, it's always a continuous work in progress. We're on the old facebook and twitter too so feel free to get involved. You don't know where it might lead you but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange!
