THE DIVINE DETAIL : BALL AND POST STUD
12.04.2018
We often turn to the concept behind military clothing and accessories for inspiration. The functional – and very adaptable – ball and post stud, also known as the Sam Browne or mushroom stud, was first created by the British Army in the 1940’s. It developed its popular name after its extensive use on a belt […]

7.11.2014
We’ve had a busy 6 months! We’ve been planning our first permanent London store. We chose Dalston as it has been Stighlorgan’s second home for 4 years now and its simply our favourite corner of London. Reflecting Stighlorgan’s core brand values, the SLG Store’s design is modern and finished to the highest standard we could achieve. […]

Beyond the Bodhrán with Nialler9: Clu
27.09.2014
Returning our series on the best music coming out of Ireland today, we’ve been chatting to Nialler9 again to go beyond stereotypical perceptions, and look Beyond the Bodhran. This month: Clu. Dark, instrumental, ghostly, ambitious – Clu’s music could easily be aligned with the trippy, nightbus school of post-dubstep/bass/garage, as exemplified by Burial. They are […]

THE DIVINE DETAIL : DRAWSTRING
2.09.2014
Remember those drawstring bags that were big in the 90s? Made from nylon and usually emblazoned with a big sportswear logo (think Ellesse, Fila or maybe Sergio Tacchini if you were *really* into your terrace wear), they were all the rage. This drawstring backpack is pretty much the most simple design for a backpack that […]

5 TO 9: CHASE THE SETTING SUN
31.08.2014
Watching a sunset in idyllic surroundings is one of life’s privileges. We don’t like to be prescriptive, but as 5 to 9 is all about filling the hours outside of the office with brilliant adventures, we couldn’t *not* chase the setting sun (seems an appropriate 5 to 9 thing to do this week as this […]

THE DIVINE DETAIL : PICNIC STRAPS
29.08.2014
We know that the last embers of summer are just burning out in the campfire, but that’s exactly why we reckon now is the perfect time to make the most of the remaining summer weekends. As any seasoned weekender knows, picnic blankets are an essential part of the ‘going to the park’ ritual (along with […]

5 TO 9: DUBLIN ON TWO WHEELS
25.08.2014
The well-documented, unstoppable rise of cycling is obviously a good thing. Free, healthy and avoiding public transport are three clear-cut advantages for inner-city commuters, but what about if you fancy escaping for a weekend? For those crucial 5-9 hours outside work? We asked our friend Jeff to tell us where he gets out to in […]

STIG AROUND TOWN : HACKNEY MARSHES
22.08.2014
If like us, you live and work in East London, you’ve maybe had enough of current park etiquette, all BBQs and fighting for space with the neighbouring party’s boombox – then we have a suggestion: get out of the park and into the marsh. Specifically, we’re talking about East London’s Hackney Marshes, nestled between the […]

THE DIVINE DETAIL : RED DENIM
19.08.2014
Whatever your dayjob, we pretty much all live in jeans now. From the humble builder to the sharpest of style gurus, everyone’s got a pair of jeans in their wardrobe, and that most staple of materials has been seen on everything, from Britney-era cowboy boots to car interior upholstery. Chances are though, that 99% of […]

5 to 9 : Goibhniu
15.08.2014
It’s no secret that we like a good drink on a Friday in the studio. After a long week like this one, we reckon we’ve earned a tipple. And conveniently, our good friend and barman Helgi has put together a cocktail just for us! Composed of classic Gaelic staples Jameson whisky and Bunratty mead blended […]

13.08.2014
We might be well into the digital age, but there’s still something to be said for a good book. Just like a well-made shoulder bag, there’s something deeply satisfying about the smell and tactility of a book, with the additional joy of the knowledge, information and escapism that’s held within. London’s bookshops are legendary across […]

5 TO 9 : OVAL SPACE

Pert Rumblings by Davin Gaffney /////////////////////////////// Her pale forearm pushed up through the thin air. “Yes Gertrude, what is it?” Gertrude went to speak, stopped then looked up into the left of her brain. The question had gone. To where she knew not. “Sorry miss. I forgot what I was going to ask.” The other […]

Beyond the Bodhrán with Nialler9: Ships
25.07.2014
It’s easy to be reductive about Irish music. If you’re not Irish, U2, Sinead O’Connor and tin whistles are perhaps the first things that come to mind, and maybe the Cranberries, or the Pogues. But the contemporary music scene in Ireland is very much alive and kicking, with great bands big and small, and a […]

5 TO 9: THE DUNWICH DYNAMO
20.07.2014
In the spirit of our 5 to 9 series, all about filling the hours outside of the office with wondrous fun, brilliant friends, and new experiences. The thought of just setting off on your bike and riding into the night is completely intoxicating. It can also be a recipe for disaster if you don’t know […]

The Divine Detail: Zip It
15.07.2014
Round here, we don’t just sit in our ivory design tower, firing out products and never using them. Everything we make is tested by us (and a few mates who we use as accessory guinea pigs), so we know pretty much what works and what doesn’t. Thankfully most of the time it’s the former, but […]

12.07.2014
In the spirit of our 5 to 9 series, all about filling the hours outside of the office with wondrous fun, brilliant friends, and new experiences, we paid a trip to Farr’s School of Dancing in Dalston to work out why it’s just so great. The last time we visited Farr’s (just the other week), […]
