Story mfg. AW22 At HIP
Birthed in 2013 by husband-and-wife duo of Saeed and Katy Al-Rubeyi, Story mfg. (short for manufacturing) is an inspiring brand with a strong desire for a more authentic, fulfilling and kind approach to clothing. Working with a large group of skilled dyers, weavers, embroiderers and tailors, Story creates unique collections each season that hone into and pay homage to their slow-moving design process and historic craft used. Keeping their footprint on the earth at the forefront, Story consciously collects their natural fibre offcuts from production to be re-used later and use minimal synthetic materials, with natural dyed organic cottons being a proud pillar of each collection.
Our AW22 delivery from Story perfectly encapsulates the brands ethos and their dedication to details – with standout pieces such as the hand crocheted Velour Polite Pullover and fisherman inspired Twinsun Rollneck Sweater displaying their passion for slow made craft.

Community Culture: Village Books Manchester – Patta AW22 Collection
To highlight the launch of Patta’s latest AW22 collection at HIP, we met up in Manchester with Mo from Village Books on Oldham Street. Based across Leeds, Manchester & online – Village is a bookshop & gallery that offers a curated selection of contemporary art, design, fashion and photography publications, with a strong focus on self-published & small press zines from artists around the world.
‘Out of love and necessity rather than profit and novelty’, the Patta story first began in 2004 when founders Edson Sabajo and Gee Schmidt combined their obsession of sneakers and records by creating a store in Amsterdam. As demand steadily grew, the Patta label was born. Today, Patta is a globally revered, black-owned streetwear brand that stands for community, culture and collaboration. Immersing itself in subcultures from around the world, Patta’s multi-disciplinary approach has earned it respect and love, with the label transcending clothing.
