Colour Theory Unlocked
About Jordan
Meet Jordan Page, a multi-disciplinary creative and the founder of the New York based Colour Companie Plus. As a child of the ‘90s, Jordan was inspired by the vibrant hues found in comic books, something he later translated into intentionally coordinated get-ups and a brand that celebrates the power of colour. As a lifelong lover of prep style, he was inspired to create a collection that melds classic nautical with today’s culture and a nod to primary colours. As a true creative, Jordan is constantly inspired by nature and ensures to honor the authenticity of his surroundings, you could say he sees the color in all things. Should you like what you see, be sure to stay tuned, there’s something very special coming this Fall...
About the CVO
Putting the spotlight on the shoe that started it all: The Circular Vamp Oxford (CVO) sneaker was invented in 1935 by our founder Paul Sperry. Infamous for its non-slip sole, and synonymous with aspirational boating lifestyle, this iconic shoe was a favorite among historical icons like JFK, and Mr. Rogers alike. With both its functional purpose and preppy style legacy the CVO has inspired generations of similar designs. Here, the original gets done up with a modern twist.
A Nod to 90s Sailing
Retro nautical is trending, but here’s one better: our iconic CVO done up in new-age materials and primary colors. Think 90s sailing meets modern performance, when asked about what inspired the collection Jordan Page recounts, “The colors reminded me of the sailing apparel color motifs of the 80’s & 90’s but with a richer tone that reflected my personal taste. The muted pirate black used for the sole allows the colors to pop more & the safety yellow used in the rope laces is reminiscent of the bright colors in emergency gear you might see on a sailing boat."
