SS26. Behind The Collection.
Worn, not carried. master-piece x Universal Works.
This project started with a simple observation in Kyoto. When we visited the master-piece store, the team weren’t carrying bags in the usual way. It wasn’t about how the bags looked, but how they were worn—not just as an accessory, but as part of their outfit. That idea stuck with us and became the starting point for the collection.

Music can soundtrack our lives in so many different ways. It's the same in our stores, and what our office team are plugging in to their headphones. When it comes to what we play, there’s no fixed genre and no set rules. Just music that feels right and sets the atmosphere.

Universal Works Toulouse.
We have just opened our first stand-alone Universal Works in Toulouse, France
As Mr Sunbell Store Founder Jérôme Biaggi explains, “This neighbourhood used to be the heart of workwear production workshops. Then it became an area for second-hand and vintage stores. Today it’s a neighbourhood of independent retailers, in fashion and in food.”
