“Insieme” with Oliver Cabell is a collaboration made entirely possible through the internet. A project that brought together American Designers with Italian Craftsmen, a story reminiscent of the first plastic molded ski boots developed in Montebelluna Italy in 1962. Our collaboration resulted in a hooded sweatshirt, longsleeve tee, and footwear with an athletic inspired silhouette reworked with luxury materials and processes. A limited release featuring hand painted buffalo leather from Hermés owned tannery, Remy Carriat.

Limited to 50 pairs.

Kaap began in 2016 as a case study for culture in remote locations. Growing up in a remote mountainous area we found our culture to be formed through the import of ideas from more affluent cities. Kaap, meaning Cape, has always intended on being the metaphorical port for not only the import, but more importantly the export of ideas; now made possible through contemporary means of communication.

In the search for our place in the global conversation in art, design, and fashion it became clear to us that our remote mountainous location informed our unique perspective. In 2018 EASIEST WAY DOWN, derived from ski signage, came to represent the effort to share the best aspects of skiing in a way consistent with themes found in contemporary culture.
