ABOUT

The Full Story

Inspired through long nights in Val d’Isere’s Après-Ski world. Chilled resort-kit designed to unwind in sun-soaked ski bars. Our clothing can be traced back to pianist Dom Hartley who found time to define the brand in Bladon Lines chalets and bars in 1993, inspired between boozy renditions of Piano Man and American Pie.

​

Vertigo knitwear was one of the first to impregnate Irish woollen fabrics with Nikwax waterproof technology with the the chunky Vertigo sweater, selling out within weeks. Dom went on to form the band 29 Fingers, which to-this-day is one of the biggest party bands in the UK, fresh back from recent tours of the Alps - the band’s birthplace.​

​

The brand is now run by Dom's son Elliot Hartley.
