Swedish fashion label Acne Studios has launched a scarf personalization service that invites shoppers to customize its popular 'Vernon' style scarves. The scarves are offered in a range of colors, including 'Rust,' Emerald Green,' 'Aubergine Purple,' and 'Light Grey Melange.'
All of the scarf offerings can be customized by shoppers using unique numbers, letters, and symbols, making them perfect gifts for the upcoming holiday season. These custom details are also available in a range of colors or can be delivered in black embroidery. According to the company, the symbols chosen aim to celebrate Acne Studio's belief in “equality, diversity, and inclusion across the gender spectrum.”
As part of the launch, Acne Studios partnered with photographer Ronan Mckenzie to showcase the scarves in London, England. The bespoke scarf service is now available on Acne Studio's website.
