The collection consists of the Tailored Wool Blend car coat and the Nordico in Dawn belt, both of which utilize materials directly sourced from the vehicle's cabin — from the seat upholstery to the "bio-attributed PVC with a textile backing of 100% recycled polyester" named Nordico. The Volvo Cars x Sergio Hudson collaboration emphasizes a shared connection to South Carolina, where both the vehicle is assembled and the designer originates. The items are produced on a made-to-order basis in the United States and will be available for a limited time through an exclusive online release.
