A beautiful little button
Charlotte Brontë once said, “I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.” Independence is beautiful thing, it allows you to do the things you truly believe in. Take our new range for instance, this year we’re back to doing what we believe in, the [...]
Nice to take the hat off
You work with people and admire them for what they do and every so often, that admiration for what they do, evolves into admiration for who they are and Al Mackinnon is very much that. He’s been with us since 2006, has been the eye behind some of our most iconic images and is probably [...]
Thank you for having me
This is from Georgia, she’s studying journalism at the University College Falmouth and she’s whipped our copywriting into shape – it’s been pretty rad having her: “I’ve just finished an awesome two-week work placement at Finisterre, met some brilliant people and some manic and gorgeous dogs. I’ve left here feeling inspired, positive and excited, these [...]
leap in the dark
Henry David Thoreau once said “We must walk consiously only part way toward our goal and then leap in the dark to our success”. Looks like the guys over at Betty Wants In have taken a leaf from Mr Thoreau’s book. Betty Wants In are the guys behind Experience Freedom, they’re based in Melbourne and [...]
We’re idiots
Why’s the Pruga so warm? Compared to our SDS system, used in our Etobicoke and Sastruga – our Pruga utilises a technology never used before, a new and exclusive insulation innovation driving weight and warmth to the forefront. Why’s the Pruga so warm? The Pruga’s secret, lies in its construction, it incorporates our double decker [...]
what are you proud of?
What’s the winter jacket your most proud of Debbie? The Sastruga represents for me a journey from throw-away fashion to a simple and chic solution against the cold. I am proud to be seen walking along the coastal path on a blustery, frosty day snuggled up in my winter white Sastruga. When friends come down [...]
When will your last wave be?
How good has this autumn been for waves? Best in a while I’d have said. Back to back cross-offshores and long distance groundswells – Atlantic facing coasts have been doing their thing – hope you’ve had a fill somewhere along the way. So a few Saturdays ago I stopped off to see Ben, our old [...]
Finishing what you start
I’ve always been a runner, if I don’t run – I get tetchy, but I’ve never been one for races. New year’s 2011 I decided I needed a challenge, so I signed up for the Eden Project Marathon and I got into my long Sunday runs along the coastal paths of Cornwall. I suffered sun-stroke [...]
Flapjack Challenge
How fast can you eat a dry, overcooked flapjack, that’s the size of Donkey Kong’s fist? Well a while back we had Ambassador Al Mack, Designers, Founders, pretty much everyone in the workshop, going head-to-head – it was hilarious!!
WE DID IT…
Monday, October 11th, 2010 We’ve brought back to the workshop, the highly coveted RSPCA Good Business Award. After three years of hunting, we’ve wrangled ourselves the highly coveted RSPCA Good Business Award. These Bowmonts were nothing more than a pipe dream three years ago, the idea of cutting our independence on foreign merino, transportation issues [...]
