Fluid, dynamic and constantly moving: it is the rhythm that unites the sea with the city. From the same energy comes the capsule collection signed by the two brands united by the same vocation for movement and which brings the spirit of sailing to the heart of the city, interpreting freedom as a contemporary attitude. A vision of style that blends the lightness of the sea with the energy of the city, in which dynamism becomes an expression of personality and style.
The encounter between these two visions finds its maximum expression in the protagonist of the collaboration: the Club, Voile Blanche’s iconic sneaker, which, for the occasion, dresses in the nautical codes of North Sails: oceanic tones, functional details and references to the world of sailing, translated into a versatile and contemporary design, designed for those who live between sea and city. Completing the capsule collection we also find some clothing items for men and women.
