EXKITE uses upcycled kites to handcraft their garments into comfortable, sustainable, one-of-a-kind testaments to eco-friendly design and fashion. EXKITE’s outerwear continues a journey that started high over the waves, and EXKITE’s diversity of jackets include a special label saying where each kite has flown and with whom.
EXKITE shows progress and innovation in sustainable fashion, recently collaborating with Christopher Ræburn, the award-winning british designer known for his ethical and inventive approach, and H. Lorenzo, a West Hollywood streetwear favorite.
An additional and special US collaboration will be announced in November, reinforcing the Brand presence in the Market through unique and one of a kind projects.
As well, EXKITE is honored to be a special guest of style icon Rossana Orlandi who will feature EXKITE in a dedicated installation within her Milan Studio and later will host EXKITE in a special exhibition dedicated to sustainability and contemporary lifestyle design.
Orlandi, whose eye for talent is legendary, has been a supporter of ExKite from the the beginning, and her upcoming collaborations with the brand celebrate ExKite’s care and attention to intelligent recovery of materials in a manner that makes a bold statement about eco-design. At ExKite, sustainability supports tyle, and founder Renzo Mancini states that these values form the basis of the ExKite philosophy.
ExKite is also considering for 2019 the launch of a truly immersive, and contemporary Brand Experience in an exclusive location that cannot be disclosed yet....
Their Original collection is made from 100% upcycled kites, and their new line of contemporary street wear incorporates select pieces of kite into their unique designs. Men’s and women’s jackets, bombers, and parkas start around $500 and range to over $1,000. They feature t-shirts, sweatshirts, trousers, and shorts starting around $100, and accessories around $50.
EXKITE is the creation of world-class kiter Renzo Mancini and Norwegian stylist and creative director Eirinn Skrede, a husband-and-wife team that mirror the unique and international offerings of EXKITE, or as Skrede puts it, “They’ve kissed the waters in Brazil and they’ve been fighting the snow in Norway, and that’s us.” To learn more about EXKITE, visit their international website: www.exkite.it
