Nottingham-based imprint Universal Works works in collaboration with French brand K-Way on the new Festival Kit collection that is made for the Spring/Summer 2023 season. It kicks off with two jackets and a bag -- both of which are available in two colorways of either Sand or Dark Blue. Each one is made from a recycled iteration of K-Way's house fabric to create a lightweight and functional recycled ripstop with a retro tinge.
Co-Founder of Universal Works David Keyte speaks about the new collection, noting that “It might be sunny with clear skies, but a sudden downpour is practically guaranteed, so it’s pieces like this that really make the whole festival experience that much more pleasant.”
