Capsule Collection Also Released to Commemorate the Brand's 10th Anniversary
The highly anticipated Christmas collection features vintage book sets. Time-Life, the publisher of the traditional American photography magazine LIFE, released numerous visual books in its "The Time-Life Series" from the 1960s onwards. Translated into eight different languages and sold in 90 countries worldwide, various series were published based on a single keyword.
For this collection, BAND OF OUTSIDERS has selected three themes: "Life Nature Library," "Library of America," and "Home Repair and Improvement." These vintage book sets are presented in custom-made wooden boxes, with each set sold individually. The boxes are engraved with an overview related to their respective themes. Notably, "Life Nature Library" was produced between 1961 and 1965, "Library of America" between 1967 and 1969, and "Home Repair and Improvement" between 1979 and the early 1980s.
Additionally, a capsule collection celebrating the brand's 10th anniversary has been unveiled, focusing on T-shirts and ties, which have been staple items since the brand's inception. The tie set includes 10 archival ties from the past decade, housed in a special wooden box. Each is a one-of-a-kind, rare collectible box. The collection also features T-shirts with "10" embroidered on them, and T-shirts printed with Polaroid photos taken by designer Scott Sternberg.
