Since our last posting on Invisible Inc Jeans and T-shirts I was wondering if anyone has made the trip to Selfridges to check them out... and if so what did you think of them

Haven't been to London recently - will probably go within the next month. When I do go, I'll definately check them out.
Are they only stocked in Selfridges? If so why don't you get them into other outlets - or is the contract that Selfridges has the exclusive rights to them? |

Tell me about it that is brutal.... if having a Cool lotus flower on your butt is boring I'd hate to see what they think is exciting.... Anyway when you're using Denim as good as mine it's a waste to do too much to it... It speaks for itself (if you know what I mean)
It's currently exclusively in Selfridges but am trying to get it into other places but it's not easy as buyers are very busy and it's trying to get to see them.... so any buyers out there pls drop me a line..

keep up the faith...good things will come to....blah blah blah
we cant all of us possible like the same thing.
its all in the eyes of the beholder, me personnaly think that embroideri on denim is a total nono and to be frank it looks like something that my grandma got her hands on but lot of the guys here think it is da b-cks.
who knows... I might like it in a while:taste do change.
must be quite a few brands out there doing great but started of slow....
Also: speaking denim!! you are on to a winner!!! sorry,bad joke!
Have you've got a website?
Or can you provide us with some pics?
Where do you have them made?
How much are they in Self?

| sorry to be brutal fella but i wanted to be honest to try to help u. the lotus logo looks boring to me and the jeans are just like all the other premium selvedges. thats my subjective and honest opinion. trying adding some color to your logo or something. |

There in Selfridges for £139, website is under construction at the moment. I thought the Lotus is really cool and it is my name so that's why I used it as it give the label a little bit of meaning.... Not to mention there is printing on the inside pocket bags and also cool rivets etc.... but the other poster is right we can't pls everyone 
There are some pics on this site in the blogs..

It's quite difficult to comment unless you see a decent pic of it or have actualy seen the product first hand. I have seen the odd pics on the blog - seem quite nice! It sounds like you are concentrating on detailing (denim, rivets, pockets etc) which is impossible to see from those pics.
Can't you take some photos of your jeans (I assume you must have a few pairs?)?
As it's been mentioned, not everyone has the same taste - would be quite boring if we did as we couldn't take the piss out of each other's dress sense!!
Everyone starts somewhere!! Look at Evisu, he has taken years to get to where he is at now (though some would say he has sold out now)!!
I kind of agree with honcho (but remember I haven't seen them in ggod pics or 1st hand!) - you need something fresh for people to notice. Otherwise they may not stand out & are a bit 'just like everything else'. Look at Martin Ksohoh (RMC & Yoropiko) - NOTHING like that (to my knowledge) has been done before - amazing embroidery & attention to detail - almost like a work of art!
I think posting some decent pics of them will give people something ot base their opions on (well for me anyway).
When do you think you'll have the site up & running? |

My site will be sorted whenever my mate get's around to doing it. Frustrating I know. How easy is it to post a pic on here as I'm not sure how to do that...

Or if that would be to much trouble, i have around 100mb webspace you can use. Thats goes for everybody here tbh :p
I think if you want to start that people notice you, a website is quite important.
Maybe you should push your friend he finishes it.
Or try and get some IT students to do it for free/cheap. I can even make you a temporary site (as former IT student:p) |
