Glasgow menswear boutique W2 have recently launched their online store. With an impressive brand list including Adam Kimmel, Comme des Garcons, Junya Watanabe, MHL and Margaret Howell, the world now has the opportunity to see what makes w2 one of the best menswear stores in the UK.

The store opened in 2009 out of the world’s last Comme des Garcons Guerrilla Store, giving them a strong relationship with one of the most creative brands in the world. David Mullane, who owns the store, is regarded as one of the leading figures in fashion not only in Scotland but also in the whole of the UK. As the man who first brought brands such as Comme des Garcons, Yohji Yamamoto, Jean Paul Gautier and the ‘Antwerp Six’ among many others to Scotland, long lasting relationships have been key to the success of W2.

The relationship the store shares with their  brands means that W2 are still able to offer the same value as the Guerrilla store across all brands, with reduction across all recent stock as well as the latest offerings.
