6876 X W2 collaboration capsule collection launch in Glasgow
All the garments were sourced from archive fabrics via Japan,Scotland & Switzerland
2025 we will be returning to Glasgow for a product and multi-media event
AW 2024 we will be collaborating with https://www.w2store.co.uk/
Emerging from the culmination of the Comme des Garçons guerrilla project in 2009 the store was created by David Mullane one of the most important figures in Scottish retail dating back to The Wearhouse in the 1980’s :
From 2010 onwards W2 branched out to offer a select number of brands & in 2023 entered into a new period with new leadership:
This winter we are producing exclusive Made in Scotland bags, hats & Ties as well as unique T-shirts: Finally W2 will be the only store to stock the Trail Sonora
At our facility in Scotland one of their skills is the production of hand made Ties. 6876 has never produced ties so we decided to take a unique approach and use archive cloths.
Fabrics that have been utilised are Hainsworth Military wool barathea, graphic modernist cotton interpretations of tartans and to follow this Autumn a Japanese woven interpretation of British Army denim mixed with wool.
“The Messages or going to get the messages”
Scottish phrase meaning to go and buy Groceries
6876 Tote bag with unique construction including outside pocket.
This style has been made in Scotland using Hainsworth Fabric from the company archive.
The quality is a British Army wool Barathea; comprising of a worsted weave which is a process differing to a highly woollen produced fabric.
Barathea is versatile, with elegant drape and exceptional handle. Due to its coarse texture, the fabric has natural recovery abilities and quickly returns back to its natural shape.

April 2024 we visited a new factory in Scotland
The factory is based in Dunfermline Fife and we will be making Luggage and outerwear at this facility using Scottish based Fabric suppliers
First produced as a collaboration with Bshop Japan; this is an enlarged version of one of Brady’s (established 1887 ) most classic bags the Kinross Tote.
Includes two inside pockets, one large enough for a laptop the other split into two sections for smaller items. This is a bag rooted in hand made craftsmanship and quality.
It is made using our traditional triple layered water-resistant canvas, with bridle leather strap and trim & neatly finished with an adjustable cotton web strap.
