# Collaborative Lifestyle Collections Tekla and Birkenstock Join Forces on a New Collection By Amy Duong | Published 2023-10-18 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekla-and-birkenstock References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/tekla-birkenstock-collab/) & [teklafabrics](https://teklafabrics.com/birkenstock-tekla)  [Tekla](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekla-and-auralee) and [Birkenstock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filson-collection) are the latest two to join forces on a collaborative collection highlighting lifestyle items that are true to both of their design ethos. The capsule is made up of bright tonal products that merge both the brands and their respective expertise. It is led by premium sandals that are made to support and insulate wearers joined by a proper clothing collection. Notably, this marks the first time that Birkenstock is breaching into the realm of apparel. The collaborative collection is made up of a range of versatile wearables such as sandals, shirts, pants, and shorts -- all of which are made to lounge around at home or comfortably step out of the home with an effortless look.
