Burton and the British Forces Foundation are teaming up again after last year’s success saw hundreds of happy dad’s come Father’s Day as the exclusive ‘Dad’s Army’ tees completely sold out.

Burton has committed to donating GBP1.50 for every T-Shirt sold to the BFF, which will ensure that the good work the company do supporting and raising the morale of our troops serving on the front line around the world is set to continue.

This Father’s Day, opt for a wonderfully nostalgic tee to keep all of the dads and all British servicemen smiling. Each tee is GBP16 and is available in selected Burton stores and online at www.burton.co.uk.

Glen George, Head of Buying at Burton said: “We are delighted to be continuing our relationship with The British Forces Foundation; after last year’s success, we are proud to, again, show our support to the cause. We hope it’ll raise awareness to the fine job these men do and to be even more successful than last year.”

Plus, as another exclusive, Burton Online has teamed up with Kahuna watches to offer the chance to win one of 5 watches that are up for grabs. The partnership emphasises the long-term relationship between the two companies where Kahuna watches continue as part of Burton’s accessory offering.

About The British Forces Foundation
The British Forces Foundation exists to boost the morale of British service men and women – principally on operations but all over the world – primarily through top quality entertainment with big name stars. The shows, and the Charity’s other projects, convey the gratitude of the British public for the work of the Armed Forces and the sacrifices they make.

TES announces the first collection of up-and-coming designer Marco Vaccari. The collection will be presented at the TRANOI Parc Royal Showroom for four days during the Paris Menswear Fashion Week, June 24th – 27th. The collection is open to guests of the TRANOI Fashion Tradeshow.

In a few short months TES has received international acclaim, with distribution through luxury department stores L’Eclaireur in Paris and Strasburgo in Japan (Ginza).

TES is also opening distribution in the Middle Eastern, Russian, Asian, American and European markets via collaboration with the Damasco Showroom located at Via Senato 6, Milan, Italy www.damascosrl.it.

The Spring/Summer 2011 Collection represents a masculine but dandy approach to the refined man, through four lines:

- TRADIZIONI, Traditional craftsmanship
- REVERSIBILE, Reversible belts in soft calf leather
- TINTO A MANO, Hand-colored alligator and calf leather
- QUARTA LINEA, the fourth line, offering a more robust approach to the men’s accessory

Creativity is rarely enough to create luxury. The TES Men’s accessory is an intersection between the skilled ability of the Vaccari family, experts in the field of belt and wallet creation, and the design of 28-year-old Marco Vaccari.

All work is completed in the TES atelier in the small town of Castelfranco Emilia, a region known for its leather-working heritage. Accessories are produced by artisans in Tuscany, and leathers are internationally sourced in accordance with the CITES convention.

The collection is defined in its characteristic details. Soft calf leather is hand, not machine, braided, belt buckle holes are individually hand painted and belts are lined with the finest quality calf leather.
