London-based outerwear imprint Purple Mountain Observatory, which was previously known as Carrier Goods presents its latest collection under its new brand name. It is detailed with bright tonal looks and technical details in the form of progressive pockets and zippers, ready for the terrains of the outdoors.
The root of the design is exploration and the inspiration stems from the time that the team spent in the Purple Mountains in China. This is also where the brand's factory is based, highlighting the majestic scenery of the area and aligning the brand with its creative roots. The concept behind the new range aims to deliver a look that blends streetwear sensibilities together with functionality for the season.
