Element Camp Collection

Element present the ‘Camp’ Collection

 

 Element continue to develop their accessory line as they team up with bag specialists Industrial Alchemy on a collection inspired by those who live their life in a mixture of urban and natural environments.

The mixture of city life and life spent exploring the woods is close to Element’s heart, and is something that they build the values of their brand around. Driven by the lack of options in the market in terms of versatile carry goods, Element and Industry Alchemy have produced four separate bag designs, each serving it’s own purpose as it carefully balances the needs of the city and the camp lifestyle.

‘The Daily’ is a backpack for normal day-to-day use, the ‘Weekender’ is perfect for short trips, while the ‘Explorer’ is specifically for hiking. Finally, the Convertible duffle is suitable for all situations in both urban and natural environments against the elements. Each style features special technical features including a laminated bottom for durability, hidden skate straps to add carry space and Duraflex outdoor trims. Arriving in three seasonal colour options of black, khaki and navy in each style, with each backpack sold from the Camp Collection, 1% of the proceeds will go towards Element skate camps worldwide to provide deserving youth an opportunity to gain access to the natural world and enjoy the same experiences that have inspired the Element brand

The man himself had this to say on the release;

“To do a collection with Nixon is amazing, this is the stuff I use. When I’m on a trip, this is all I need.”

Tens ‘Enjoy The View’

Having caused a stir on crowd-funding site Indiegogo back in May, UK based Tens return with a stunning set of visuals to showcase their custom filtered sunglasses.

Tens have spent years developing a custom lens tint that works with natural light to create a more vivid picture, changing the way we see everyday life. By dimming the brightness, the scratch proof lenses intensify your surroundings to create the perfect scene. There is of course a science behind the pretty pictures, and the sunglasses still hold their basic function – to protect your eyes from the son as they provide 100% protection against UV rays. Experts have even found that the colours seen through the glasses can actually enhance your mood!

For a brand thats rooted in travel and exploration, it was only right that the visuals match the quality of the picture created by the product. Tens deliver a video commercial shot by the brands co-founder Tom Welsh that follows a group of friends travelling through scenic destinations including California, Vancouver Island, Mammoth and British Colombia. There is also a complimenting lookbook shot by LA based Joe Perri in a mixture or rural and urban areas of discovery.

Stance Socks x Poler Stuff

Sitting firmly at the top of the sock game, California based Stance link up with outdoor specialists Poler Stuff on a limited collaborative release this Autumn.

It’s rare to find a brand so dedicated to producing socks that offer much more than just a liner to the shoe and despite their ever growing collection, Stance’s focus on function, style and expressive designs still remain. Their latest venture with Poler Stuff sees the brands creative approaches collide on three Autumnal styles for both men and women. The men’s options of ‘Furry Camo’ and ‘Cyclops’ apply Stance’s signature camo print emblazoned with Poler’s famous ‘Camp Vibes’ text and logo, with the women’s style featuring Poler’s decorative ‘Rainbow’ print.

The limited edition Stance X Poler collaborative collection will be available this October at www.stance.com
