MADE BY MERC SHOT BY DEAN Merc was born in 1967 as the world was transfixed with swinging London. The Mods flocked to the brand’s Carnaby Street store where only the stylish could survive. Jump forward 48 years and Merc’s sharp cuts and modernist styling are as relevant today as they’ve always been.
