I’ve passed by a couple of times and I’ve seen some friends post about it on their Instagram story so I had to come in! I wasn’t sure about the silhouettes before going in but I had heard about their unique dying process so that intrigued me to take a gander!

I felt kind vibes going in and I was impressed by the presentation of the clothes and shop. Even the employee fit the aesthetic which helped me to visualize what the clothes would look like on someone. The gentlemen in the shop was happy to help me with my questions while browsing, too. He was genuine and shared the what the company was about (Didn’t get his name to shoutout!)

I had no clue that this brand uses different plants to dye the clothing every season!!! I am in love!! The quality of the garments are divine, gender neutral and very sturdy. I can see a lot of my clients falling in love with so many of the pieces. I’d ABSOLUTELY style my clients with some of the blazers, corduroy pants... loved the variety of materials and the gorgeous colors.. Seriously, the colors are just so good. It’s clothes that would feel really good on the body and gives bold and pleasant statement. Well constructed with lots of consideration.

I’m definitely bringing my clients here without hesitation. Unfortunately the neighboring business next door (Rudy Jude) was not the same experience. I felt uncomfortable and judged going in even though I had good intentions and some questions. I have a lot of questions because I am a personal stylist. I want to know if the products will suit certain clients (I.e. what sizes they offer, if there is a collection of accessories, what’s coming in next season, etc) I will not bring my business to Rudy Jude if I receive the same experience again.

Thank you Older Brother for being welcoming. Loved the autumn collection.. every piece was a winner. My clients will love the that indigo tank top, corduroy and blazers. Pictures of my favorites below!

Super cool store, great clothes!

Store가 독특하고 옷도 개성이 넘칩니다
디자인뿐 아니라 옷감을 만드는 과정부터 ( 천연 염색 ) 특별한데 옷이 많지가 않고 ( 사이즈) 가격이 없어 매번 직원에게 물어야하고 바쌉니다
셔츠가 $300
사고싶은 바지가 있었는데 사이즈가 없고 내년 여름에 오라고하네요
옆집 Rudy Jude와는 비슷한듯 하지만 디자인은 달라요

I bought a shirt from this place and got it shipped last week. IT REEKS BAD. It stinks up the area of the room it’s in and despite washing it twice, it still smells like a stagnant bog. Some of their items are dyed with algae and kelp, which is pretty neat, but the odor it gives off is strong. They note that the clothing has hints of the sea, but it’s a lot more pungent than that.

Total waste of time trying to shop here. They were out to lunch for an hour, waited around and after awhile there was an employee sitting at the desk with the lunch sign on the door. I knocked and they pretended they couldn’t hear me. I’m all for taking breaks but don’t waste your potential customers’ time.
