Wrangler x Lime Cordiale Capsule Collection Launch
Riding off their euphoric wave of an 8 time Aria nomination and total music chart domination with the album release, “14 Steps To A Better You”, Lime Cordiale’s partnership with heritage denim brand, Wrangler, was set the be the hottest summer release. Lime Cordiale’s design collaboration with Wrangler brought a curation of these perennial sunshine kids distinct brand of cruisey surf-rock in the form of a small, but sweet capsule, featuring artwork from their Aria chart-topping album.
The collection boasted a range of Men’s & Women’s tees that feature Louis’ hand drawn, lino printed, colourful and quirky artwork which brought to life the myriad of emotions that is explored amongst each breezy melody and uplifting build. The album is distinctly reflected in their capsule collection through its laid-back nature that we know and expect from Lime Cordiale.
The capsule line featured 5 bright t-shirts which were made from hemp & recycled cotton fabric bases, a unisex party shirt and an embroidered denim jacket - all reinforcing Wrangler's commitment to developing and improving sustainable design.
