Tempo Design Store - Mastermade Goods | Est. 2017 Rue du Midi 11 Lausanne, Switzerland TempoDesignStore.com Women & Men: @TempoMastermadeGoods Home: @TempoDesignStore Monocle Magazine: Setting up shop in the Swiss Alps in November was a culmination of the travels of business partners Pablo de Pinho and Ana Deffarges (writes Claudia Jacob). The co-founders of Lausanne’s Tempo concept shop unearthed an affinity for craft culture while travelling around Brazil, Tokyo, California and Montréal, before putting down roots in the Helvetic city. “It’s rare to find lifestyle shops in Switzerland,” says De Pinho. “After getting so much inspiration living and studying across three continents, we knew that Lausanne was missing something.” The result is a selection of tasteful design objects from across the world, featuring items from furniture ateliers such as Bangalore’s Phantom Hands and Copenhagen-based Frama. There are also luxurious leather goods from Tokyo’s Hender Scheme and Taiwan’s Kamaro’an, as well as garments from Galicia’s Lichen Goods. Tempo sits at the foot of the mountains overlooking Lake Geneva and its ethos of slow living is effortless to embrace. tempodesignstore.com -> List of Brands & Designers

Does the sweatshirt have the Spalding like cuffs? Looks like it. Nice detail

Progress on my DD-1001XX 1947. Just an unbelievably good fit and feel on these, soon to be unseated by the DSB 1000XX possibly but these are very special, and only getting better. Unsurprisingly, in need of a preventative crotch stitch repair, but they’re looking great I think!

Thank you and sorry for my late acknowledgment too!! My 1000XX have been hemmed and on way back to me, first impressions of the raw and then washed DSB are very pleasing indeed, softest and most pliable raw denim I’ve seen so far, I should have taken some photos up against the light of the back yolk, such a loose weave you could see light shining through all over! I’ll see if I can capture it in the washed fabric when they’re back with me.

Depends on your country but since you wrote € you are in the EU. Everything you buy in Japan is without VAT but you have to pay that when you import it. And the above 150€ value you also have to pay customs fees which are 12% on top (IIRC). So for Germany, as an example, you would add 31% (19%+12%) when importing.

Do you also know something about taxes and fees ?

Judging on the posts here and on IG, TCB is making a 1890s pair of No.2 denim?! Probably that is the pair they are developing. Interesting for sure. http://tcbjeans.com/news

The Yen is historically low for some time.

To make the shipping worthwhile, I also got this sweater. Extra long cuffs. And some wear and tear on my blanket lined Type2

Thank you! The rather low € prices confused me.

No, that's the official TCB online store. If you go to TCB's official blog / main website and click on the shop icon on the top right, it takes you to their shopify site.

tcbjeans.myshopify.com is fake, right?

Calling the 90s vintage makes me feel very old

@81FXR You’re right, LVC have done ‘proper’ women’s ranges int he past, rather than a token one or two models.

Nice, thanks all. I might’ve imagined the better choice in LVC but I’m sure I remember going into Cinch in Soho and seeing a decent range of women’s styles somewhere in-line with the styles available to men. This was obviously a number of years ago, still Cone days. TCB Norma look nice but like the Anatomica only seem to go up to about a 30. I actually have a bnwt pair of 0105 sitting in the closet which she tried and with the right waist size might work well. Dawson looks like a good option also!

Papa nui, RMC, Lee, dawson, vans. still layering around here

And some Vintage Justins. Obsessed. And another pair is on the way (last shot)

“Selection” is maybe the limiting criterion. Lots of brands seem to do one or two okay women’s cuts, these days, but no one seems to have more than a couple of options. Meanwhile, obviously all jeans are more or less gender agnostic in principle, but how well they work in practice depends completely on body type. Around how is your partner shaped? If they’re big in the hips and don’t fit well into standard men’s jeans, the TCB Norma could be a really good option; I’ve also seen curvier women friends make ‘90s Cane’s work well.
