When REC Philly and Lapstone & Hammer first began ideating on what a collaboration could look like, there was one common theme in mind - community. We both quickly realized that this is the most powerful connection point between a lifestyle brand championing culture and fashion and a 10,000 square foot creative facility just blocks away in the heart of Philadelphia. We wanted to make something that our community could see themselves in - the hip-hop heads, sneaker lovers, the creative freelancer, the street photographer and really everyone in between.
Thus comes our "A Seat At The Table" capsule - a limited edition hoodie and t-shirt made for all creators, by creators. Across the chest reads: “A strong community ensures everyone has a seat at the table” - a statement that embodies our mission as a collective, while the back serves as an ode to the many different chairs that sit at a table in order to bring a dream to fruition.
The builder, the designer, the strategist, the marketer, the writer and yes, even the beginner. When driven people come together under a shared vision, the possibilities are endless and the table gets that much stronger. We wanted this capsule to make it clear that it isn’t always about what you do, but who you do it with. And the impact you leave on your community after.
This collection will be available exclusively at our pop-up at REC Philly's Creator Day on Saturday, February 24th. Additionally we will be offering a preview of the next installments of our ongoing Standard Issue collaboration, as well as unreleased samples and experiments that will be available for purchase.
