Jocks&Nerds x Shinola Visits Nigel Ruwende's Studio



Back in April 2015 Jocks&Nerds held their first pop-up work studio in Shinola's Soho store, showcasing the talents of designer + apron maker, Nigel Ruwende. The Community of Craft Series proved to be a great success for both British + America brands spurring on an ongoing partnership between the two companies. Working closing with local creatives to help showcase their talents to a wider audience only highlights the importance of thinking smaller to create bigger.

Now, a few months on, the Community of Craft series revisits Ruwende in his own London-based studio. This short video explores the design processes which goes into making products for his label Saint&Birchley, how he made the switch from personal styling to craft, and how his uncle had such a profound influence on his career path.

  8. It's great to see isn't it, you don't get to see behind the scenes that much on very small businesses. Cheers Ben, I appreciate that. I guess it's a part of something I just always look for, where others choose othe aspects.
