Firetrap capitalises on the fact that the brand is designed in London by British designers - Firetrap is defined by the London look and attitude, it is a mirror to London style and culture - Firetrap is London and London- ism is the future. Taking inspiration from all the sights, sounds and flavours of London life, Firetrap's time is the night-time, they are grabbing hold of the legendary subversive wit and rebellious spirit associated with the city and making it their own.
