We invite you on our journey of exploration as we take you through our Autumn Winter 24 collection looking at how PMO evolves with the seasons. 

Now, in the third chapter of their ongoing narrative, ‘Excavation’ takes us on a journey deep into the heart of Dinorwig Quarry and the enduring landscape of Parys Mountain. These storied environments, rich with history, have become the pulse of Orienteer’s campaign and PMO’s AW24 collection, honoring both the classic and modern explorer. 

The collection introduces innovations like the ‘barnacle-mesh’, a waterproof laminated mesh with a tightly woven ripstop. Its name is a nod to the 18th-century copper trade, when Parys Mountain stood as the world’s largest copper mine. The copper sheets, forged from this Welsh terrain, were sold to the British Navy, protecting their ships from timber worms and barnacle growth. This legacy, steeped in history, weaves itself into the very fabric of the collection. 

Thank you for walking this path with us.
