Premium sportswear brand C.P. COMPANY teamed up with streetwear giant PALACE to launch an exclusive collab, that mixes C.P. Company’s premium sportswear legacy with British youth culture represented by the irreverent tongue in cheek attitude of Palace. Born out of the capital’s South Bank skate culture, Palace has a unique ability to mix vintage and contemporary influences when creating their collections, and this capsule reflects Palace’s interpretation of C.P. Company’s technical abilities, especially seen in garment dyeing expertise.

I’m in love with Palace since I discovered the brand years ago: I love their attitude, irreverent but humble, ironic but with a lot to say. And when I met Gareth and Lev, I just had the confirmation that great brands come from great people. Working with them has been easy and fun, but more than everything, a great honour. – Lorenzo Osti, C.P. Company President
Working with C.P. Company is a big deal for me personally. I have been a lifetime massive fan of what Lorenzo and his family have done for not just my wardrobe but menswear and sportswear in general, they are the innovators that changed everything. The Osti family basically invented everything I like to wear except for flip flops. I rate Paul Harvey too, he also designed some of my favourite outerwear pieces ever…! – Lev Tanju, Palace Founder
Led by the aesthetic values that both brand communities share, Palace looked to C.P. Company’s vast archive and the brand’s technical know-how for inspiration, picking out key pieces such as the duffle coat and the lambswool jumper, while adding Palace staples such as the bomber jacket and the sweatpants. The result is a bright coloured palette with playful ideas and details firmly based in British culture, an aesthetic that is crucial to both brand’s DNA. – from the brands
