The legendary fishtail parka gained popularity with the mods subculture. It's invention was a bit different, it emerged from the need to tap more heat.

In the incredible 1960s, a group of youngsters rebelled. "We are Mods" was their motto. They wanted more, better jobs, a better life and better clothes. 

When you live in a  country like Britain, raincoats are an essential part of your wardrobe. The weather isn't just unpredictable during winter, showers all over the island can happen anytime. Even if you're not a person that enjoys the outdoors, you need a waterproof jacket as you never know when it's going to rain.

We will not be partaking in the discount frenzy of Black Friday weekend this year, nor any future years. We are standing up for brand value and joining the growing number of brands and manufacturers who value the integrity of their brand and products more than a quick ‘buck’.

We have reinvented the timeless parka jacket once more in the autumn/winter season 2019. Inspired with heritage, the new pieces are transitional staple garments that can be worn any time, anywhere, no matter the weather.

Here at Parka we are getting in the Halloween spirit (pun intended), but we still wanted to talk about coats, because, well, that’s what we do best!

We are not really one for reinventing the wheel, but as British icon Winston Churchill says “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often”. Every season at Parka London we celebrate our icon the Parka and develop into the core function and look through each season.

Every season, it is our pleasure to present our upcoming collections at Scoop tradeshow held at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea.

The largest retrospective collection of works in one place in the UK by one of the most recognised and celebrated sculptor, painter and draughtsman, Alberto Giacometti is showing this summer at London’s Tate Modern. Not to be missed!

The history of utilitarian outerwear is rich with shades of green, from the very first military parka and its sage green hue, to the many variations of the colour that we’ve used and loved over the years. Green is definitely a classic for us at Parka London, and it’s going to stay that way. Here is a look at our favourite classic and modern tones we have developed.
