Founded in Barcelona in 2014, HEREU creates shoes, bags and leather goods that bring together contemporary design and traditional Spanish craftsmanship. The name HEREU means “heir” in Catalan, reflecting the brand’s focus on carrying forward generations of artisanal knowledge. Each piece is made in Spain by family-run workshops, using time-honoured techniques such as hand-stitching and leather weaving.

We’ve been drawn to HEREU for quite some time, long before BLOODORANGE existed. There’s a quiet confidence in the way they design. Nothing feels overworked, but the attention to detail is always there. The leathers are rich and tactile, and the construction speaks for itself once you have them in hand.

The collections feel rooted in a Mediterranean ease. Familiar silhouettes are refined through subtle detail, resulting in pieces that are timeless without feeling predictable. There is a natural versatility to them, with styles that work across different settings and seasons.

For us, the shoes are the standout, but they are complemented by a considered selection of bags and accessories. Together, they form a collection that is easy to wear, built to last, and only gets better with time.

Gitman Vintage is rooted in American shirtmaking, with a history that traces back to Max Gitman and the Ashland Shirt & Pajama Company in Pennsylvania in 1932. Since then, the brand has built its reputation on well-made shirts, dependable construction, and quiet attention to detail.

The appeal of Gitman Vintage is not in changing the shirt every season. It is in refining a shape that already works. Their Oxford button-down is a personal favourite of ours, and has been for quite some time, long before BLOODORANGE existed.

What we like most is the consistency. The collar roll, chalk buttons, barrel cuffs, single chest pocket, rear collar button, locker loop, and back box pleat all feel considered. These are small details, but together they give the shirt its character, comfort, and ease.

The same trusted shape also comes in a wide range of fabrics, from Oxford cotton and brushed cotton to seersucker, flannel, cotton-linen blends, dobby stripes, and seasonal checks. You know the shirt, but you can choose the texture, weight, colour, and mood that feels right.

That is why Gitman Vintage sits so naturally in the BLOODORANGE range. A good shirt should be easy to wear, well made, and quietly full of detail. Gitman Vintage does that very well.
