not in sale | Stepney Workers Club

Named after founders Simon See and Roger Pereira’s personal affiliation with the old Stepney Workers Sports Club, an anti-facist and anti-war club established in the ‘20s, East London’s SWC emerges relevant in the modern world with a fresh and forward-thinking ‘Freedom of Sport, Freedom of Thought’ mentality that commands a liberal-thinking movement across the contemporary market and modern-day society. Mastering the notion of genre-less design influenced greatly by free-spirited subcultures and the rise in unisex styling, Stepney Workers Club hosts an all-inclusive energy that celebrates traditional sports and workroom footwear silhouettes hailing from the UK’s industrialised ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s era.

Led by their iconic handshake logo, a representative design influenced by unrestrained inclusivity, the unified brand remains famed for their low-collared Dellow and high-rise Varden silhouettes, whilst the brand’s innovative use of fabrics such as cotton-drill canvas, oversized thick-wale corduroy and nylon Cordura combine to provide a durable approach toward the demands of modern-day living. Stepney Workers Club t-shirts, sweaters and socks remain true to the brand’s simplified yet structured SWC aesthetic, whilst the brand’s choice use of understated colourways and chunky-soled constructions pays homage to the British footwear collective’s working men’s club societal lineage.
