Adsum has partnered with Sweden's Nitty Gritty for their debut capsule collection, celebrating the long-standing friendship and shared interests between the two brands. Nitty Gritty, a favorite store of Adsum, is located in a residential area outside of the city center and carries a range of popular brands such as Patagonia, Aspesi, and Our Legacy.
The collaboration's centerpiece is the Nordic Vest, a transitional item for early spring and summer. It is Adsum's first fully fashioned knit vest, created with Nitty Gritty and featuring a traditional Nordic jacquard knit in custom dyed yarns. The 100% wool yarn provides a vintage Shetland sweater feel, with a firm and dry touch. The collection also includes the Adsum + Nitty Gritty Long Sleeve Graphic Tee and Hat, showcasing artwork inspired by Sweden's iconic Volvo and national flag colors.
This collaboration signifies years of working together and mutual admiration for each other's work, personalities, and attitudes. The campaign images were captured outside of Stockholm at a local farm, featuring Annie Frieberg, a friend of both brands and one of the first visitors to Adsum's showroom.
The collection will be available for purchase on Thursday, April 20th, at 11 AM EST on adsumnyc.com and nittygrittystore.com.
