The range is inspired by [Southeast Asia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacsun-middle-east) and it is informed by the prints and visuals that adorn the design in general. The capsule features a stole, a pair of pants, and graphic tee -- all of which are detailed entirely in a captivating Batik pattern design. It is rooted in a color palette of deep brown and yellow hues, especially the stole. Additional visuals that are seen throughout the capsule include beetles and [lotus flower motifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-lotus-collection).
