6PM, a German streetwear label founded by designer Achraf Ait Bouzalim, has announced the launch of Medina Blues, a new clothing capsule that draws inspiration from Bouzalim's Morrocon roots. Because of this, the collection is also offering a unique take on the traditional Morrocan floor cushion, an item that the brand has limited to a total of just 50 units.
Another notable accessory item included in the collection is a padded tote bag, which features white stitching that intends to mimic the tilework common to the North African country. In addition, this same tile patterning becomes a visual motif throughout the entire capsule making its way onto graphic tees and pullover hoodies. As for bottoms, the capsule offers a range of relaxed-fit pieces including jeans, cargo pants, and nylon track pants.
