The high-end collection catches the attention of consumers with its usage of [premium materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tag-collection) all throughout the line -- all the pieces are made in black with gold detailing. Instead of incorporating logos through standard print, the A Bathing Ape Black line has the logo embroidered into the garments in gold. To up the brand's already high-quality pieces, materials such as suede, leather and faux fur are used to emphasize their premium nature. The outerwear is made from a faux fur and is seen on the classic shark sweater, its M-51 jacket and [MA-1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-and-alpha-industries) pieces. The rest of the collection features t-shirts, hoodies, pants, sunglasses, and the brand's highly recognized [camo shark balaclava](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legacy-camo-shark).
