Back by Tea Time
And, Restrap has also shared the brand’s latest film; using the Switch Rack in exactly the way they envisaged… getting out on an adventure. “Back by tea time” is a short film featuring Restrap ambassador, Alice Lemkes. It explores her love of her new home, Knoydart, “Scotland’s Last Wilderness” as she realises the downside to living in a remote village without vehicle access is running out of milk is more of a calamity than when you live in a city. Still it’s a good excuse for a day out. Produced by Friction Collective (makers of our North Race film), Restrap says “we are rightly proud of the end result.”
