Luxe streetwear label OFF-WHITE introduces a new climbing keychain as a part of its widely expansive Spring/Summer 2019 capsule. The functional piece is designed to adopt a carabiner aesthetic to feature elements that perfectly fuse style and practicality. The keychain is complete in a matte black coat that is decorated with simplistic branding accents in white for a contrasting look.
There is also the phrase that reads "FOR CLIMBING" across the piece as well, complete in the Helvetica font. The back of the functional keychain features a series of industrial accents, patent logo infusions, and copyright decorations. To round out the entire piece's design, there are contrasting accents of keyring hardware fastenings in a gunmetal color. The OFF-WHITE climbing keychain is now available for purchase online at SSENSE.
