Partially Quilted Bandana Sweaters

KAPITAL Unveils a Vibrant Set of Sweaters Inspired by Shelters

— November 13, 2019 — Fashion
KAPITAL introduces a new set of bandana sweaters that are designed with a vibrant color palette in mind as the half-quilted pieces arrive for the colder seasons. The designs are half-quilted and the sweaters arrive in five colorway options in total. It features light purple, white, gray, teal, and deep purple.

The silhouette of the apparel draws inspiration from small bivouac shelters, which are essentially improvised camp setups that either soldiers or mountaineers go out to for additional patrolling. Adding to the outdoorsy theme, the sweaters' rear is made entirely from nylon materials with an additional chain-stitch quilted patterning design in a tonal manner respective of each colorway option. The sweaters are rounded out with zippered pockets and small branded tags that read "KAPITAL JOURNEY PRODUCT" as well as "WALTZING MATLDA."
