A new partnership between Vans and Liberty Art Fabrics has emerged this Fall, giving birth to an exclusive collection that showcases six Liberty prints on two heritage Vans styles – the Era and Authentic. Famously known for its vast archive of floral fabrics, Liberty has been dedicated in pushing the envelope of printed material design from London to fashion hubs across the world since 1875.
Vans’s designers worked with rare prints from the archive to create a collaboration that stays true to each brands’ tradition of high quality and premium style. The paisley prints were cut straight from the stock fabric which varied the placement of the pattern to create shoes that are one-of-a-kind. An abstract, printed mountain landscape in army green is featured on the Era while the Authentic features a rich pink leaves print and a colorful pattern of floral and birds. The final style of the collection gets a special treatment that is unique to Vans – a classic Liberty floral is combined with Vans’ iconic checkerboard in a deep navy that pops the red and blue Liberty print.
The Vans x Liberty collection is currently available at LE Way.
