Stain Shade introduces its latest collection that is exclusively designed for luxury retailer LN-CC. The wide range of goods spotlights upcycled construction using waste fashion materials from [Carhartt WIP](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carhartt-wip-5). The result features bold designs that stem from a vintage design language and aesthetic.

The inspiration specifically spotlights [vintage Harley Davidson graphic tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-made-drop), as well as Russell Athletic sweat pieces, and Patagonia flannel shirts. The overall capsule by Stain Shade is dominated by its signature unique hand-dyeing method that can be vibrantly seen across the collection. In addition to the apparel offerings, there is also a slew of accessories that come with the clothing. There are some HAND caps and a limited selection of Clarks Desert Boots.
