The sacai x Carhartt WIP third capsule collection blends icon status with inventive construction in a 19-piece line that reimagines classic workwear staples. Highlights include a hybrid Detroit Jacket fused with sacai’s signature puffer elements for warmth and volume, and a cropped leather top with an asymmetric front that nods to biker aesthetics.
Other pieces explore patchwork hybrids like a skirt merging designs of Carhartt WIP’s Arctic Jacket and Double Knee Pant topped with oversized sacai pockets. Cotton canvas items across men’s and unisex ranges are garment washed for softness and lived in appeal. Every garment carries a co-branded square label marking the partnership. The collection builds on the ongoing collaboration between the two labels, continuing to merge utilitarian heritage with sacai’s experimental approach to construction.
