With a look that says, "I'm ready to tackle that week-long mountain hike," the Factotum Fall 2010 collection offers an eclectic mix of items that, when put together, create a rugged frontiersman kind of look. Each ensemble comes with a mish-mash of layers and colors, coming very close to having a ragged feel. However, the label has tweaked the styles just right, creating a more bohemian artist vibe than a downright dirty one.
The Factotum Fall 2010 collection offers up a style that's as suited for playing an acoustic guitar in a cafe as it is roughing it on some untamed hiking path.
