Watch The Lookbook Video for Kinfolk A/W ’15

The lookbook for Kinfolk A/W 2015 was directed by Raj Debah with photo direction by Shaniqwa Jarvis. In the way that each season of Kinfolk builds upon the last, this lookbook’s story is the continuation of a relationship born during S/S 2015. The trio from the last clip is now a duo, the pair using their time […]

King Kog Owner, Shawn Wolf, Keeps Kinfolk Bicycles Running Smooth

When we shot this video last fall, Shawn Wolf was only a King Kog bicycle shop employee, sprucing up cranks when he wasn’t serving up cortados at Kinfolk 90. In the time since, Wolf has become King Kog’s owner, only to be found at Kinfolk (chilling , of course) during the shop’s off hours. From his recently revamped Graham Avenue […]

Artists and Brothers, The Robbins Twins Paint Kinfolk Gold

“We came into the world like brother and brother; And now let’s go hand in hand, not one before another,” wrote William Shakespeare in his Comedy of Errors.

The Williamsburg section of Brooklyn has in recent years become renowned for, amongst other things, an abundance of rustically handsome chaps sporting buxom beards and expertly applied tattoo work. But what if we told you that Kinfolk 90 Wythe employs one of the handsomest chaps with the buxomest of beards and most intricately applied tattoos […]

Maggie Windler Is “The Voice” Of Kinfollk

Having some preternatural talent like the ability to breakdance, or slip out of a pair of handcuffs or even just having all 32 teeth, isn’t really necessary to work at Kinfolk, but you’d be surprised just how many of us have things like this to brag about. One of our fairest Kinfolk maidens, Maggie Windler, has […]

Kinfolk 94 Wythe Is Almost Here

If you’ve been by Kinfolk sometime in the past 8 months, there’s a good chance you’ve noticed something going on next door. Maybe a few heavily tattooed guys disappearing into one of a couple doorways, only to emerge some hours later, their clothes and bodies now sullied and beaten. As much as we wish it […]
