The duo delivers an understated slate of apparel that perfectly fuses both of the contributing brands' design language. The result is a capsule that nods to A.P.C.'s admiration of denim and sacai's expertise of nylon materials. The silhouettes include a denim jacket, tote bag, denim skirt, tees, hoodies, and much more. Some of the details that make up the capsule include the tees that are adorned in accents such as zippers. Additionally, another standout piece is the denim jacket carefully sewn into a nylon bomber as the perfect hybrid silhouette and the jeans that boast a decorated cuff and waistband.
