Kipling will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a showing at this year’s IAADFS Duty Free Show of the Americas.
The Belgian accessories brand will showcase its core collection of crinkly nylon bags. This casual range is so significant that Kipling’s area sales manager for The Americas Fadi Hatem calls “the main feature of Kipling’s fashion business.”
The display at the duty free show is the first of several international events to mark Kipling’s big milestone birthday. It will release a new heritage capsule line, called the Classics Collection, which sees six of its most iconic designs revamped with leather trim and fresh modern colors.
Kipling has also teamed up with acclaimed artists for its Play with Bags projects. The commissioned creative talents took the Classics Collections bags and cut, sewed, and molded them into exciting pieces. Photographs of these works will be displayed at an art exhibition later this year.
We’re also likely to see the photos on 25yearskipling.com, a micro website designed by Kipling to mark its 25 year history.
Twenty five years is a real milestone for the Belgian brand, and I’m thrilled to see it’s keeping the party going all year round. Which of Kipling’s birthday initiatives excites you most?
