Unlike its name suggests, Lt Collins boutique Extinct doesn’t deal in dinosaur bones. It does however take influence from the best of bygone fashion eras and makes them wearable today.

All designed and made in Melbourne (with the best of Italy and the UK thrown in for good measure), mod-influenced tweed, fine 70’s pin-stripes and 80’s cinch belts are draped, slung and fastened to create unique combos that don’t prescribe to passing trends.

Just in and seriously limited are 16 pairs of London-born Swear shoes in monochrome black and white. More are on the way but if you want apair of these sharpies there’s only about eight left so get in soon.
