Parlez

Parlez is a Bristol label that makes clean, minimalist streetwear with a nautical twist. Cav Bunkhall founded it in 2012, and the collections draw on sailing, maritime history, classic workwear and the sporting styles of the 90s. The range covers sweatshirts, quarter-zips, hoodies, T-shirts, jackets, shirts, shorts, caps and beanies, and much of the branding is embroidered rather than printed. Sustainability is part of the pitch. Parlez uses organic cottons and recycled materials, ships in recyclable or biodegradable packaging with carbon-neutral couriers, and is part of 1% For The Planet, giving 1% of annual sales to environmental causes. A good pick if you like a relaxed, sporty look with a sailing reference.
