Luxury Japan-based performance label Descente works in collaboration with San Francisco-based manufacturing label DSPTCH on a new five-piece collection. The apparel designs are created to suit the lifestyle of an urban explorer, ensuring that it is easily packable and accessible.
The collection highlights both the label's shared values of practicality, fashion, and durability. The collaborative effort features a jacket, shorts, a tee, long sleeve shirt, and a vest. All of the designs are created to be simple and conveniently folded into the provided compact pouch so that all the pieces can be seamlessly carried and packed. The collection also comes with a special 'Weekender Backpack' to hold all of the five pieces in the collection. The apparel designs are now available for pre-order online at Descente.
