When people think of menswear crafted with a high-degree of workmanship, they think of places such as France, Italy, and the UK. Some may think of Japan. But few will think of India, even though some of the most incredible workmanship is happening there now. Let me show you. 🧵
Ooh yeah, Te Waipounamou delivers! This is after the cheap raspberries we found yesterday.
