Sunshine Bandit ~ our July/August campaign looked to the sartorial escapism evoked by the eternally iconic desert to ocean ‘road trip’. For as long as we can remember, the visceral image of hitting the open road with nothing but a dream and a dog-eared road map has underpinned the very landscape of our design mind.
Our hearts are always transported to the many eras and places all over the world, but time and time again we are pulled to the desert and the sea…
Sunshine Bandit is like opening up your vintage suitcase, laying it on the quilted bedspread in that ol’ sage-green Motel just off Route 66. Inside are all your fave vintage pieces, along with the thrifted treasures you’ve scooped up along the way. The perfect throw on dress to pair with those boots you found in that vintage store three towns back.
The magnetism of the desert, the open road, the sun setting in the west, beckoning you to the sea – this calling permeates the dreams and desires of all who journey - and so it is for those lucky souls we dedicate this collection.
Part one of Sunshine Bandit arrives Wednesday, July 17th at 10am AEST / Tuesday, July 16th at 5pm PDT.
