Dogfish

So today I officially started my documentation of bags and their tags, although I have to confess it was due to my desperate need for a new pair of jeans and a belt... Ok the belt was more of an impulse buy!

Never-the-less I began where I have always intended to begin - Dogfish. A small menswear store that only has two stores to my knowledge (Norwich and Cambridge). The shop offers a lovely selection of mens clothing, all be it with a price tag! And is furthermore a partnership with Catfish (the place to be for the ladies!).

The consolation in shopping here however, is that you get your purchases in a rather nicely illustrated bag.


The quirky style of illustration is something that has always appealed to me from this shop, even if the typographic aspect is a little bit on the weak side. It's simple and effective and actually make me chuckle a little bit the first time I came into contact with it.

As you can predict the carriers for Catfish are just as quirky and hopefully I will be in possession of one those soon as well.

Let the games begin.
