WHO ARE WE
Roger and Marcel Grivec, twin brothers and denim afficionados since a very long time. We spend most of our childhood in the jeans store of our parents in the southern part of the Netherlands. Growing up with the ‘shrink-to-fit’ culture we became true denim hunters eversince. Books, movies, records and music play also big role in our life. In this photo documentary, we will try to unify with these true loves of ours. Enjoy and come back any time. Greetz Roger & Marcel

JACK PURCELL
John Edward “Jack” Purcell was a world champion badminton player from Canada. At first he designed a shoe, which would provide more protection and support on badminton courts. This turned out to be the shoe, as we wear it today. Later on people like James Dean and Steve McQueen started wearing it and as of then the Jack Purcell has become more popular for their vintage fashion apparel than for athletic use. In the 1970s, Converse purchased the trademark rights to Jack Purcell sneakers – which it still produces and sells today. Converse All-Star are cool, but the coolest people on earth wear Jack Purcells! That’s why this shoe is one of the favorite shoes of the Grivec Bros.
