Autumn Winter ‘24 | ‘Clothesmongers’

Available Now.

Our Autumn/Winter '24 collection is heading to market, drawing inspiration from the early costermongers of London, traders who wore coloured neckerchiefs to denote their trade. The large Kingsman neckerchief was the starting point of the collection, not as a historical item but as a source of reference for colour and styling in a modern take on cool winter dressing.

This season, the flair of the ancient costermonger is echoed in the bold, confident strokes of pattern and colour throughout this collection. A warm, earthy palette is brought to life with textured and tactile fabrics. Cloths traditionally used for wool suiting are reimagined for both practical and tailored pieces, subtly subverting classic workwear aesthetics. Likewise, durable recycled denim makes a statement in both a double-breasted suit and a trucker  jacket, while winter twills and various weights of corduroy are transformed into versatile outfits that work as coordinated sets or as stand-alone pieces.

Photographed against the backdrop of a simple shopping list, with the Kingsman bandana tying the styling together, we are reminded that whether you are selling or buying fruit and veg, contemporary clothing, or fresh ideas, being a "monger" is something to be proud of. In a world increasingly driven by careless consumerism, we believe that commerce works best when it benefits everyone involved—the seller and the buyer. This is the core philosophy of Universal Works. That is why we have named this collection “Clothesmongers,” because, at heart, that is exactly who we are.
