BRGN was founded in 2015 by Karine Lunde Trellevik and Ros-Mari Tobiassen Gaundal, who were both originally from the east of Norway before moving to Bergen. After struggling to find a nice coat to wear in Norway’s unforgiving weather - a coat that “did not look like a typical PU coat or sports jacket” - they set out to make their own.
Today, the brand has expanded from outerwear to include footwear and accessories.
Target audience
Women, men, kids - and even dogs.
Retail price
100 pounds to 400 pounds.

The AW22 collection showcasing at Scoop x Pure “pays tribute to the ever-evolving world around us”, and uses multi-seasonal layers of showerproof cotton, cashmere knit, shearling and leather integrated in an ethereal palette. The collection also features accessories including hats, gloves and scarves.
Target audience
Karl Donoghue’s target audience is “a consumer with an androgynous style who plays with layers to create their desired everyday look”. This consumer “would focus on luxurious craftsmanship and fabrics for longevity and wardrobe versatility for years to come”.

Feminine prints, playful colours and flattering silhouettes are at the core of the Danish brand’s DNA.
At Scoop x Pure, the brand is showing its ‘Highland Treasures’ AW22 collection, inspired by “the beautiful wild nature, hideaway barren landscapes and mossy hillsides that you can find in the English countryside”. The collection features a mixture of dusky and bright tones, floral patterns, and lush leaves prints.

At Scoop x Pure, the brand will be showcasing its Spring/Summer collection, ‘Blossom Party’, as well as its Resort 22 collection, ‘La Mer’.
