More often than not, a championship team possesses a locker room that combines savvy vets and energetic upstarts into one cohesive unit. Both proudly hailing from Munich, sportswear label BSTN Brand and ROECKL, the glove maker extraordinaire, are teaming up following this formula of proven winners.
A New Spark, the inaugural collection of the re-launched BSTN Brand, taps into ROECKL’s experience and tradition of more than 180 years for a series of premium leather accessories.
Founded in Munich in 1839, ROECKL built its company on premium quality and expert craftsmanship, allowing the company to rise to the status of glove purveyor to the Bavarian crown, with King Ludwig II and Sissi among its illustrious clientele. Today, six generations later, the business is still family-run and still synonymous with the finest leather goods and accessories on the market.
The collaborative BSTN x ROECKL line includes two versions of a premium leather glove – one for her, one for him – made from a distinct hair sheep leather, treasured for its softness and smooth hand-feel. The gloves are available in four different colorways each and are lined with ultra-soft, 100% recycled polyester fleece.
In addition, the line includes a matching series of four lifestyle bandanas, made from the same premium quality hair sheep leather. The square bandanas are equipped with push buttons for easy size adjustment.
A staple of fine craftsmanship from the Bavarian capital, the BSTN Brand x ROECKL collection releases on Saturday, Oktober 8th, and is available exclusively at the BSTN and Roeckl online shops as well as the two brands’ flagship stores.
