Guinness has teamed up with London’s cult-favourite lifestyle brand Lazy Oaf for a limited-edition streetwear collection celebrating the upcoming launch of Guinness Open Gate Brewery London. The capsule marks a new era for the iconic stout brand as it prepares to open its Covent Garden home — a major cultural and culinary destination for the capital.
This exclusive collaboration blends contemporary streetwear with historic brewery workwear influences, all filtered through Lazy Oaf’s unmistakably playful aesthetic.
A 25-Piece Collection Inspired by Workwear, Whimsy and the Perfect Pint
The twenty-five-piece unisex range spans jackets, knitwear, T-shirts and accessories, priced from £9–£145. Expect premium textures, drayman-inspired silhouettes and clever nods to Guinness heritage — from pint-shaped pockets and ingredient cameos to signature Guinness buttonholes.
Lazy Oaf Founder Gemma Shiel tapped into both the anticipation of watching a pint settle and the nostalgic charm of early Guinness adverts to create bespoke illustrations throughout the collection. The result is a fusion of workwear authenticity and graphic, tongue-in-cheek design.
The full range drops 4 December at lazyoaf.com, with additional exclusive pieces available at the Guinness Good Things store inside Guinness Open Gate Brewery London from 11 December.

What the Creators Say
Gemma Shiel describes the collaboration as a personal full-circle moment:
“I’ve always felt connected to Guinness — my Irish father owned a pub in Soho, so this collaboration instantly made sense. We dug through Guinness archives and built a range that honours workwear heritage, the iconic pint and our distinct graphic style.”
Ian Dallow, Head of Retail at Guinness Open Gate Brewery London, adds:
“This brewery is about more than our pint — it’s about reflecting London as a cultural hub. Lazy Oaf was the perfect partner, blending their playfulness with our heritage. Expect more collaborations to come.”
