Hi Y’all,

Progress process always has some bumps on the road and we had to go through some growing pains with our recent server upgrade. As some of you might have noticed, we experienced some server hiccups which limited the usage of the site to some degree. So sorry for the inconvenience and sincere thanks for the support.

But everything is running smooth again, smoother than ever might I say (touch wood) so let’s get back to business. Those who happened to check the site yesterday morning, might have noticed my latest blog entry titled Where Vintage meets the Future, however the above mentioned hiccups sadly forced me to postpone the release of this post. Well, it’s good to take a fresh perspective to things and sometimes enjoy the fact that you get a chance to rewrite some stuff. You never know, it might turn out even better.

Vintage is the word of the day and you can’t help but to notice the number of brands releasing their vintage lines, and people going back to wearing the same styles that we last saw decades ago. Well the fashion cycles are short and well as the name says, move in cycles. But what I appreciate about the past is that at least back then, things were made to last and done with careful detail. Even the vintage clothing today just expresses the styles of the past but the production seldom involves the meticulous work that used to go into making a product. For instance my Nintendo (NES) 8-bit console from 1990, is still in running condition and provides countless nostalgic moments along with Super Mario Bros and Super Mario 3, to name a few. Then take the more recent consoles, I’ve already had 2 PS2s in the past 6 years and well the life cycle of a games console is pretty much the same as that of any electronic gadget, two years give or take.

Now I’m not saying that I don’t love the new games and gadgets. Hell, I change my phone at least once a year and couldn’t live without my smart phone and notebook. But I hope you get the point. I truly respect the brands that still go through the production processes of the past and produce truly tailor made products with the essence of artisan spirit. What these brands and artists working for the brands are doing is paying homage to the old ways, to the times when things were “better”.

We should appreciate and learn from the past but still look ahead into the future. Find a harmony between the old and the new and forget all about maximum efficiency with lowest cost. There is so much more to things around us than that. It’s very easy to forget to appreciate the art around us.

I could go on about the topic for ages but I think the core was expressed in the above paragraphs. Speaking of vintage meeting the future, we have exciting news. We’re bringing in a classic design from The Year Of…

Lil’ Brooklyn as the design is most commonly known represents the brand’s Year of the Dog era and is probably one of the most known designs not to mention rare, especially today.

The design will be available in sizes 32, 34, 36 and 38. We are taking in pre-orders until the end of the week and you can ensure a pair by contacting us at info(a)nordicdenimhouse.com. Should you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. We’re glad to help you out.

With that I leave you for now. But I will be back for more soon. A shout out to our very own remy_le_beau, who is out of the field for a moment. Get well soon homie. Prosperous end of the week to everyone and appreciate the art around you. I’m out, peace.
