The story of BRGN
BRGN was founded by friends and now colleagues Karine Lunde Trellevik and Ros-Mari Tobiassen Gaundal in 2015. Both from the more Eastern parts of Norway, the pair met each other in Bergen where the brand found its start. They had a problem to solve here and that was, how to look stylish in the rain (Bergen has on average 240 rain days per year). With Ros-Mari’s passion for fashion and Karine’s vast knowledge of technical fabrics and how to use them, the brand BRGN by Lunde & Gaundal was born.
The brand
BRGN is an environmentally friendly brand having incorporated Bluesign certified fabrics in 100% of their products starting in 2020.
Bluesign defines the standard of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials and operates on the basis of five principles; resource productivity, consumer safety, water emission, air emission and occupational health and safety. This is important to BRGN as they believe the need to look good should not negatively impact our planet. The aim is to effectively lessen our carbon footprint and look good whilst doing it!
The AW21 collection
The AW21 collection introduces two new styles. First up is the Tyfon coat, available in Lizard Green, Camel Tweed as well as Black Tweed. The coat is in herringbone style technical fabric first introduced in the SS21 collection. The Tyfon has an oversized fit and comes with a cape and hidden hood. It’s perfect for feeling like a superhero, as the founders have described it. The other new style is the Kuling poncho, the jacket version of the Bris poncho coat. The Kuling poncho is available in a traditional Black as well as the new colourway Camel.
The boots in this collection are felt lined and purpose built so they will keep you comfortable and dry on your long walks, commute or post pandemic catch up with loved ones. The herringbone style fabrication from the Tyfon coat is also seen in this season’s new waterproof bucket hats.
The AW21 collection from BRGN contains all the familiar styles as well as the two new promising ones – all in camel, green, navy and black colours that resemble the nature of Bergen so well.
