What to know about Café Mountain
Café Mountain is an independent British label founded in 2021 by designer Lewis Wilson in England's North East.

Music, craft and analogue culture inform its graphics and palettes. The brand opened its first permanent flagship store on Newcastle's High Bridge in 2026 and wholesales through END., SEVENSTORE and HIP.
