The New Trüffelschwein

2009-12-13T16:46:00.007+01:00

We officially launched our new shop space together with the Original Penguin Pop-up store. Here's some images for those of you who couldn't make it...

Original Penguin Berlin Pop-up Store

2009-12-13T14:11:00.006+01:00

Our pop-up store with Original Penguin was launched last Saturday. They will be residing at Trüffelschwein until the end of February. Glad to have you here folks!

ein neues Zuhause

2009-12-01T10:28:00.003+01:00

We're finally celebrating the opening of our new home on the 5th of December. Drinks and snacks from 4pm. Would love to see you there!

Pop!

2009-11-13T17:06:00.004+01:00

Pop has dropped! The Fall/Winter delivery of our new brand POP has just come in. The Pop duo from Copenhagen has been hosting parties and events since 2005 and launched their clothing line in 2008. Their take on party wear is pure and fresh. Stand out, not stick out!

The Move

2009-11-02T23:19:00.006+01:00

We've been awfully quiet these past few weeks....We moved! No worries, you won't have trouble finding us since we're only across the street from our original space. Speaking of space, we now have lots more of it! Here's a first glimpse...Watch this, uh, space, for news of our opening party. Oh, it's business as usual at the new location: Rosa-Luxemburgstrasse 21

Engineered Garments

2009-09-04T16:17:00.005+02:00

The Engineered Garments Fall/Winter delivery has arrived! Fabrics you can live, play, and practically sleep outside in. Robust like you wouldn't believe. And of course the added PLUS of looking smashing while you're at it. This box-full of goodies has me wishing for cold weather. And that, dear friends, is really worth a shudder.

A Nip in the Air?

2009-08-22T16:42:00.003+02:00

Feel that nip in the air? Well, actually not yet but the first fall deliveries are in nonetheless. Yummy Fall options from YMC, Folk, Paul & Joe, and Lee are all in! Remember: the early bird catches the best jacket :)

Rainy Day Special

2009-07-25T14:31:00.002+02:00

No, we're not giving up on summer just yet! But these rainy days are getting us all wet and soggy so we thought we'd give everyone a little treat :) We've reduced all outerwear by at least 50%! Hopefully that will lift us out of the gloom...

Birthday!

2009-06-17T22:43:00.002+02:00

Dear Friends,

Time flew and we're two!

We'd like to invite you and yours to come and celebrate our second anniversary on Sunday, the 21st of June. We'll be serving bubbles and nibbles from 2pm AND, we'll take 30% off everything your heart desires!

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the fun, love, and support you've given us for the past two years.

Here's to you and the next two!

Lyon and Ralf

Hat Stuff

2009-05-27T13:36:00.004+02:00

The Grevi hats are finally here! The Grevi family has been producing hats since 1875 from their headquarters in Signa, near Florence. Everything is still handmade and done in the traditional way, like taking one single piece of ribbon and literally winding it to make a hat. We love it!

Spring at last!

2009-04-01T19:23:00.002+02:00

Sprrrrrring is here! I'm so afraid to shout out loud for fear of some retribution of snow in April. So maybe I'll just quietly say that we've put up (at last) the spring/summer goodies from Engineered Garments & Baracuta, and some new additions from Folk and YMC. Drop by and touch/feel/try on/wear/enjoy the spring madness!

Spring Preview

2009-02-07T13:40:00.003+01:00

To say that spring has sprung is probably premature and courting the wrath of the weather god but its never stopped us from reveling in the sheer joy of trying on something new, something fresh, and something that gently reminds of sunnier and warmer days to come. Whew, glad the intro's over. Writing this entry on a gloomy February day was like pulling teeth, if I may be brutally honest. The real good news is that the spring deliveries of Folk, Paul & Joe and YMC have just arrived. And guess what? They're fantastic. And that just about resurrects this pitiful shroud of grey!

Sunday Shopping in the Rosa-Luxemburgstrasse!

2008-11-27T23:16:00.004+01:00

We are pleased to announce that we will be open on the four Sundays of Advent until Christmas, from 13:00 - 17:00. There will be mulled wine for some warmth and comfort and reductions on selected items starting at 30% to make christmas shopping just a little easier on the pocket. Our neighbors and colleagues from Blush, Belleville, Lulu, Redspective, and Susuru will also be open on all four Sundays. We're looking forward to seeing you all!

man enough

2008-09-04T12:55:00.002+02:00

This just in from Bill Amberg: "Bill's signature grip bag made in beautiful soft or tumbled leather. The handles are long enough for the bag to be worn over the shoulder, and the bag unbuckles to become roomier and taller. Perfect as an overnight bag for both men and women, or as an oversized casual day bag." Word. We have them in cognac and black, in big and bigger. Time to tote.

Have no fear

2008-09-03T21:54:00.009+02:00

This season's knitwear is about the brave and the beautiful. YMC gives the Fair Isle new flair and Paul & Joe offers pieces reminiscent of native south american patterns. Its really a joy to see this burst of

colours after last winter's rather somber palette of greys and blues. We know everyone's saying violet is the new black. We say RED is the new violet. Have it with deliciously dark chocolate and pick that cherry on top. Yum.

2008-08-01T19:43:00.002+02:00

leaving town?

drop by for last minute summer shopping!

50% - 70% off summer items!

...and an early glimpse of the new deliveries from YMC and Paul & Joe

see you soon!

Bicycles

2008-06-30T15:50:00.005+02:00

Its been nearly a month since the last post! I'm sorry but we've been too busy enjoying the beautiful berlin weather on our bikes.
Speaking of...just came back from the Pitti Uomo in Florence to have a look at next summer's menswear offerings. Guess what the theme was? Bicycles! They had them all over the place. Which led me to believe that Ralf has sixth sense as he mysteriously decided to put a gold-plated bicycle in our window a week before I went to Pitti. The vintage gold-plated beauty is available at http://cicli-berlinetta.de/. Thanks to Dustin Nordhus for letting us borrow his baby!

Private Sale

2008-06-04T14:41:00.004+02:00

Saturday, June 7th, 2008
12:00 - 20:00

-30% on all jackets

See you all there!

Short Story

2008-06-04T14:20:00.004+02:00

Its hot. Get those long trousers off and let those legs breathe. Ever felt like just cutting the legs off those chinos? YMC's done just that. No frills, no bulging cargo pockets, no frayed edges. Gut so!

Haversack

2008-05-19T14:47:00.006+02:00

Pronunciation:: \ˈha-vər-ˌsak\
Function:: noun
Etymology:: French havresac, from German Hafersack bag for oats, from Haber oats + Sack bag
Date:: 1749

: a bag similar to a knapsack but worn over one shoulder

Our new japanese import is so much more than a sackful of oats. Being hailed in London as the next big thing, Haversack is inspired by early 20th century american army and workwear with a healthy obsession for impeccable details. The fabrics are soft but robust, the silhouettes easy and flowing. This is really as fresh as they come.

Let there be Light

2008-05-09T16:19:00.007+02:00

The key word is light. It could be cotton so thin its practically weightless or a pattern so small you'd have to be intimately close to see it. Wait, you want it in bright red plaid? Then let it be Duffer's micro-check. Paul & Joe's seagull print makes us want to take to the sky and fly!

Boy Toys

2008-05-08T16:19:00.005+02:00

Italian jewelry company TOY ME has come up with a line of charming trinkets for men. Our selection of pendants include a little robot with moving arms, a teaspoon with a lifesaver, biceps, a guitar plug, and a lego block, all made of pure sterling silver. We say its time to give all that gothic moodiness a rest!

Engineered Garments goes nautical

2008-05-07T16:44:00.001+02:00

This is one of our favorite shirts for summer. Engineered Garments' pop-over short-sleeved shirt does away with buttons so all you have to do is pop it over your head and you're good to go. 100% cotton with white nautical stars on navy blue. Ahoy!

Time flies when you're looking for truffles

2008-05-05T18:36:00.001+02:00

Its been a little over a year since Trüffelschwein opened its doors and its been a real rollercoaster ride. Nobody said it was going to be easy, and it wasn't. Still, nothing fulfilling is ever easy and we're proud to say that we're here to stay!

So we thought it was high time we had a blog so we could keep in touch with those who can't always come around to see what's going on in Trüffelschwein. Of course, this is really just an excuse to show you all the goodies we've collected so you won't feel neglected :)

Feel free to tell us what you think.

We'd love to hear from you.

Lyon & Ralf
