Introducing Harris Elliot from Le Tings

We first met Harris through our showroom concept we created together with Touba London in 2009. Back then there was an empty property next to our hair salon, Environment, which was our London HQ for 15 years. This was how “The Showroom Next Door” started and continued on for many years in London, Paris, Tokyo, New York and Copenhagen.

This encounter was to become a significant moment in our own journey and development as a brand. In fact Harris introduced us to International gallery Beams from Japan, who became our first Japanese customer and our very close retail partner to this day.

Through our friendship with Harris we learnt not only to draw inspiration from our own culture and heritage but also be brave to express other cultural vibes we had experienced from our extensive travels in continents such as South America and Africa. We are proud to have worked with Harris on many special projects including the images below, which were created back in 2015 after our second trip to Palestine. His vision to express our brand in this way was beyond our imagination and very exciting for us.

Harris’ new project "Le Tings” is the manifestation of his best self with clear assertion of his African and Caribbean heritage. Le Tings is built on the spirit of revaluing everyday objects found in the markets and streets, showcasing these humble yet significant objects repurposed into premium products.

We are proud to have collaborated with his Le Tings from the start and excited to expand this collaboration into the future.
