Al-bag & Austin (see what I did there?)

Once upon a time in a magical land of Nike dunks and false eyelashes, a girl went for lunch at an American diner on Carnaby Street and had a brilliant idea. Fast forward 18 months and the magical idea beans have turned into a magical t-shirt selling beanstalk, aka Alberg & Austin.

Named after a lost teddy and a man she once met in an actual American diner, Alberg & Austin is the brainchild of the lovely Caitriona Brown. The brand boasts a range of limited edition t-shirts, designed by a bunch of the UK’s top up-and-coming designers, and is aiming to achieve great things in 2011.

Since its launch, Alberg has been steadily gaining a following of loyal fans and has been dabbling in everything from markets on Brick Lane to music festivals in London’s parks. They have a whole host of DJ and music friends and are currently supporting Lincoln-based band Dancing Lotus on their London tour.

As if all that wasn’t enough, Alberg have just released a couple of canvas bags (below) which are perfect for the approaching summer (it IS almost summer, please just humour me) and you can get your hands on one right here!

Remember, everything is limited edition – once it’s gone it’s gone – so BUY ONE NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE!!! (apologies if that was too forceful)

Anyway, the moral of this post is that Alberg & Austin is cool. The tees are cool. The bags are cool. Fact. So get buying and spread the Alberg love! Bag one now before it’s too late… they’re bags of fun… sorry.
