Prince and Vacation have launched a new limited edition collaboration capsule in honor of the ‘1992 Annual Interoffice Tennis Championship,’ a fictional event that has inspired a real capsule collection. The collection comprises the ‘Limited-Edition Commemorative T-Shirt,’ the ‘Limited Edition Commemorative Hat,’ and the ‘Ball Boy’ Scented Candle.
When a defending Prince champion saw a ball boy struggling with the retrievals, he gave him a handmade string wax as a temporary fix to help him gain traction. The ball boy used his freshly waxed hand to apply sunscreen as the tournament progressed and the temperature climbed throughout the day. He soon learned the secret to water-resistant sunscreen.
The three-piece Prince and Vacation collection is available on both brands' websites, ranging from $32 to $42 USD.
