Long Weekend is a brand founded by Allison Simon and Willem Verbeeck in 2021 -- both of which are photographers and now the brand is joining forces with gear imprint Moment on a special collection. The designs are weatherproof travel gear which is specifically made from recycled nylon and ripstop material for a durable and sustainable design.
It embodies a simplistic aesthetic that serves a storage function. Notably, the collaborative collection is defined by its retro influence that nods to the late 80s and early 90s. It can be seen through the patterns of gridded detail, and bright palette adorning the zipper to add tonal contrast and more contrast in the form of the logo badges.
