Company of We








There can never be too many places that sell stylish and well-priced stuff, so something like Company of We is always welcome. The write-up on this company in Material Interest goes:

Just because something seems too good to be true doesn't mean it isn't. So it goes with Company of We, a new menswear label that sells just-fashiony-enough versions of your closet essentials—nearly all for under $100. "It's like walking into Jeffrey and finding everything 80 percent off," says We's Jayzel Samonte. Dubious, we kicked the tires on these pieces, and they do hold up. But deals like a Dior Homme-esque snagged vest for $98 or a perfect pair of Bastian-like pleated city shorts for $78 do beg the question: How? The other half of the equation, designer Christopher Crawford, assures us that the answer is nothing more untoward than cutting out the middleman—and applying a little elbow grease. "The reason we can do this is because we don't wholesale," explains Crawford. "And I'm a pack-my-own-boxes kind of boy."

Visit the online store to see the great stuff that We sells.

Oh, and doesn't Jayzel Samonte sound suspiciously like a Pinoy name?
