The visuals compliments the collection well, showcasing Grind London’s ability to channel themes from the UK and London in particular to inspire their designs.

Illustrated graphics are applied to tees, long sleeves and also appear on sweaters and jackets. Straight legged tailored bottoms and new headwear pieces see them expand their offerings in a collection constructed from high quality, globally sourced materials.

Stand out pieces include the workwear inspired Japanese denim stripe chore jacket and the forbidden long sleeve tee.

Vans – The Sidestripe Capsule

 

The iconic sidestripe has come a long way since it was first introduced back in 1977. This Autumn/Winter Vans celebrate the sidestripe with an exclusive t-shirt capsule collection.

Having began it’s life as a mere doodle from Vans founder Paul Van Doren, the globally recognised symbol first appeared on the Vans Old Skool design and has since made it’s way on to several of Vans most loved silhouettes. The capsule collection consists of four t-shirt designs in black, white and navy colour ways, as well as a raglan tee with a black body and white sleeves. Each design displays the sidestripe in different ways including a bold graphic print, pocket designs, as well as making use of Vans equally iconic checkerboard pattern.

The Vans Sidestripe Capsule Collection is available now at select retailers and vans.co.uk.
