Slowear takes its cue from the Slow Food philosophy and markets an ethical stable of menswear labels (Incotex, Zanone) that fit a wearable, timeless and tactile bill. Aside from the beautifully made clothes, you can shop around for some excellent vinyl, Carlo Moretti Venetian glasswear, elegant sunnies, polished leather wallets and cool moped helmets.
