Levi's and Disney have introduced a collaborative line of apparel that boldly features the iconic cartoon characters that so many have come to love to celebrate the power of togetherness. Levi's denim jeans, jackets, and vests are available with colorful prints, featuring retro versions of Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy. In addition to the classic denim styles, the collection spotlights a range of graphic tees, hoodies, and cozy fleece pieces.
Levi's Chief Product Officer Karyn Hillman spoke to the inspiration behind the collection, stating "We found this amazing graphic from the ‘30s with Mickey and Minnie on the phone, and we just felt like that image said it all. We instantly knew that we wanted to do a collection built around the idea of staying connected. And we wanted to utilize these iconic Disney characters to tell that story. It’s such an optimistic and upbeat message, and Disney gave us a big graphics toolbox to work with, so it’s a really fun and inspiring collection."
