The thisisneverthat PEANUTS collection is a collaborative apparel release that combines the Korean streetwear label’s design language with characters from the PEANUTS comic strip. The capsule includes items such as denim overshirts, waffle-knit T-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, caps, and small accessories. Graphics featuring characters including Snoopy and Woodstock are applied across the garments using printed and embroidered treatments.
The pieces use relaxed silhouettes and casual constructions, with materials such as cotton jersey, fleece, and denim forming the base of the collection. Character artwork appears in varying scales, from small chest placements to larger back prints, integrated into otherwise minimal garments. The color palette includes neutral tones alongside muted seasonal shades, maintaining consistency across the range. Accessories such as key rings extend the same graphic language into smaller objects.
