The capsule features apparel as well as leather goods and the first drop is highlighted by denim, shirts, trousers, jackets, and bobs. The most prominent design element that details the pieces is the signature [Monogram and Damier check patterning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-damier-fine-jewelry).
