The C2H4® 2026 012 Collection receives its fall delivery with new garments that continue the label's single annual release model instead of following traditional seasonal calendars. Drawing inspiration from 1950s and 1960s interior architecture and furniture design, the collection combines refined proportions with utility-focused construction intended for long-term wear. Standout pieces include the Mechanic Washed Engineer Jacket, Moccasi.n Memory Textured Henley, Uptown Memory Half-Zip Pullover and Lake Tahoe Cabin Gentle Padded Vest, each reflecting the brand's emphasis on balanced silhouettes, considered material choices and understated detailing.
Founded between Los Angeles and Shanghai, C2H4® continues to position the 012 Collection around garments designed to develop character through regular use rather than short-term seasonal trends. The latest delivery spans everyday essentials and technical outerwear, with prices ranging from $90 to $1,450. Available globally through the brand's online store
