Eastern Market also stocks Harnden I believe. Odd that there's no UK stockists, did Pollyanna drop him (or did they just remove his stuff from being sold online)?

The occasional piece pops up on yoox. Pollyanna used to stock him but they no longer do, online sales issue.

Originally posted by merzat some point you've to wonder if its a ploy to make the rich experience something unusual in getting his pieces by making them 'work for it'. why bother making something if you spend almost the same amount of effort on keeping it unknown.
i'm not saying things should be trumpeted from bell towers either, but such active effort in keeping your own work obscure seems to harbour some kind of ulterior motive.Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Again merzbow I think it's a personal issue, he's a bit of a hermit from what I understand and happy to live in his corner of the world, just quietly making clothes and shoes. Who knows, one might consider the possibility that he simply dislikes technology and doesn't want his work caught up in it.let us raise a toast to ancient cotton, rotten voile, gloomy silk, slick carf, decayed goat, inflamed ram, sooty nelton, stifling silk, lazy sheep, bone-dry broad & skinny baffalo.

Side note - isn't it said that in today's consumer world we think that everything, absolutely everything is, or at least can be, marketing?Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Faust brings up a great point there.

Originally posted by merzgreat discussion to be had on this, i think. i caught myself in the realisation of it as i was writing that bit earlier, but you're absolutely correct, i did think of it as marketing reflexively. where earlier men would attribute to divine intervention what they could not rationalise, we now have marketing in much the same capacity.

Marketing as the god of the gaps. I can see that actually. We assume, cynically, that because these people make clothes that everything they do (or don't do) is in some way designed still to sell those clothes. Maybe it isn't. Maybe they're just weird, and unflappable about how they want to sell the clothes. This isn't marketing in the sense of seeking to sell more volume. The volume is cut off at source. It is marketing though in the sense of controlling how the things are sold. "If you want to buy from me, you must walk the walk. It's not just a jacket, dumbass, it's a way of life. Please cut off your mobile phones, and while you're at it, buy a gramaphone. Only then can you wear my wool/linen mix peasantwear."
