Community Culture: Seagulls Paint
To highlight Carhartt WIP’s SS23 Women’s collection – this season at HIP we visited Leeds based circular use focused Seagulls Paint.
Raising awareness for recycling and reuse, Cat and Kate, who founded the business in 2002, aim to improve the environment through recycling landfill for the benefit of the Leeds community.
Within their community enterprise they also educate people in teaching the importance of reusing and recycling unwanted household materials through volunteering opportunities.
They have now acquired a national reputation as the leading Social Enterprise in paint reuse, winning the Social Enterprise of the Year (Yorkshire and Humber) in 2017 and 2022. So far, the team has diverted 4 million litres of paint from landfill.

Nike Air Max 1 ’86 Original – Big Bubble
Nike add another coveted silhouette to the lineage of the Air Max 1 to celebrate Air Max Day. The ’86 Big Bubble version steps back in history to recreate the classic air unit and window used in the original shoe. The Air Bubble began as an experiment in cushioning by Nike’s sneaker engineers before turning into an iconic feature on the track and in the streets. This OG style also uses a heritage colour-block for even more authenticity.
The Nike Air Max 1 ’86 Original – Big Bubble is online now.
New To HIP: forét
When forét (French for forest) was founded in 2014, it sought to capture its founders’ nostalgia of growing up in the great outdoors in rural Denmark.
This experience guides the brand’s aim to provide modern functionality – covering all sides of the contemporary wardrobe to fit in both tranquil outdoor life and urban city lifestyle. In finding this versatility, forét urges us to slow down; to find stillness and simplicity in our everyday lives and clothing habits, inspired by the natural world.
This mantra translates to timeless casual pieces built to last, all made with a focus on reducing environmental impact and looking towards a more responsible future.
