# Striking Luxury Unisex Collections Axel Arigato Enters a Collaboration with Mulberry By Kalin Ned | Published 2023-04-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-unisex-collection References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2023/4/axel-arigato-mulberry-collaboration-release-info) The Swedish brand [Axel Arigato](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axel-arigato-4) enters a collaboration with the UK-based label [Mulberry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mulberry-softie) and the result is a striking luxury unisex collection that boasts eye-catching silhouettes and timeless classics. The partnership saw the brands "scavenging" through Mulberry's extensive archives. The luxury brand, which is best known for its leather goods, was founded in 1971 and so, the collaborators had plenty of inspiration to sift through. Axel Arigato and Mulberry recently debuted the luxury unisex collection, highlighting sophisticated apparel and, of course, new takes on Mulberry’s famous Oversized Bayswater bag. For the garments, the brands embraced color-blocking styles, a variety of premium materials, embroidered branding, and collaborative emblems. The Oversized Bayswater bag, on the other hand, "receives its largest rendition yet." Axel Arigato's low-top Area sneaker is also included in the luxury unisex collection.
