BAPE and Saint Mxxxxxx release a fifth collaborative collection that includes apparel, accessories, and a sculptural banknote-themed stool. The collection combines BAPE’s camouflage patterns with Saint Mxxxxxx’s graphic treatments across T-shirts, hoodies, and accessories. Designs feature currency-inspired imagery, distressed prints, and co-branded details applied to standard streetwear silhouettes. Graphics vary in scale and placement, appearing across front panels, sleeves, and labels.
The banknote stool is produced as a functional furniture object upholstered with printed currency graphics. It is constructed with an internal frame and cushioned surface designed for seating while maintaining the visual theme of the collection. Apparel items are made using midweight fabrics consistent with seasonal streetwear production, with relaxed fits and conventional construction methods. Accessories follow similar material and graphic approaches. The collection is released in limited quantities through select retail channels.
