BAPE and Coach work in collaboration on a new collection of goods that nod to both of their expertise in the fashion industry. BAPE is recognized for its streetwear knowledge and bold captivating looks, whereas Coach mainly specializes in accessory designs. The respective brands stem from New York City and Tokyo -- these cities also serve as the collaborative collection's inspiration.
The cultures play a role in the designs, which feature some footwear designs, outerwear options, and leather goods as well. Nodding to both contributing efforts, the capsule highlights the signature Coach patterning blended together with the Ape Head BAPE logo as well. The items arrive in khaki, camouflage, and rainbow jacquard. Notable items in the range include the down puffy jacket and the backpacks.
