C H LO E A C C E N T A N D D E C O R “We often talk about our work being gender non-specific,” offers Justin, “it’s really carefully plotted and planned, really sleek and really well made.” For their home collection, the duo mixed geometric Miami-inspired detailing with splashes of aqua and bold red, along with turquoise and orange touches. They also mixed suiting material like hounds’ tooth with velvet, an act that blurs the lines between tailored masculine style and feminine elegance. “We love luxury,” enthuses Colin, “and I think our collection brings back a touch of hedonism.” Always on the lookout to explore new avenues, the lads have also just launched a bespoke soy wax candle company called C&J Home. Working with family members in Scotland they started producing natural essential oil scented candles. All are hand poured and each one is made with, “bags of Scottish love”! Although this collection is predominantly ecommerce based, products are also being shipped internationally to the United States, Canada and Australia. While some may find their cottage-meets-city style a little unexpected, it’s a combination aesthetic that’s effortless. “Many people feel we have modern taste and, well, we do,” offers Colin, “but it’s not hard edge. We’re always comfortable to lay in lots of different, softer elements.” And, it should be reported, it works well for the couple, both personally and professionally. As Justin explains; “It’s all in the mix”. We couldn’t agree more! Enjoy more from Colin and Justin at colinandjustin.tv and find their C&J Home collection at candjhome.com.
