Durable Function-Centric Utility Fashion

Gramicci and nonnative Join Forces on a FW31 Capsule

Gramicci and nonnative are the latest duo to work in collaboration for a special capsule made for the Fall/Winter 2021 season. The two outdoor experts deliver a slew of goods that are coated in the durable GORE-TEX material full of climbing themes. This includes the notable climbing pants from the Gramicci line.

The duo has worked together before, as they are no strangers to one another. This collection spotlights utility fashion pieces including the climber easy pants that are made using the GORE-TEX INFINIUM technology, which makes it the first time that the silhouette has been made with such material. The pants are then complete with the signature gusseted cross as well as the cinch-and-release belt system.
