Following up on last week's debut of our summer collection, we return with the second and final installment of LAPSTONE SUMMER 2020. Releasing on Saturday, August 22nd, Drop 2 continues the Art Deco theme inspired by the architecture and detailing of our historic location in Philadelphia.
While this year's season can definitely be described as a "bummer summer," prepare to close it out on a high note with the release of our next cut-and-sew collection: LAPSTONE SUMMER 2020. Releasing in two drops; the first coming this Saturday, August 15th, and the second on next Saturday, August 22nd, the collection is built around a re-interpretation of the Art Deco architecture and detailing of our historic building on 1106 Chestnut St. in Philadelphia.
In 1898 the Saucony shoe manufacturing company began its operations along the banks of the Saucony river, 75 miles away from where Lapstone & Hammer was founded in Philadelphia. Now these two brands with Pennsylvania roots have teamed up for the first time to create the Lapstone & Hammer + Saucony Courageous Moc “Two Rivers”. This special project, which is inspired by the origins of Saucony’s name (derived from the Native American Lenape word "saconk", which translates to "where two rivers run together"), seeks to connect Lapstone and Saucony like two rivers running together to form a more dynamic force.
This Saturday, February 22nd, Lapstone & Hammer will introduce the world to our very first cut-and-sew collection, DIP DYE SPRING 2020. While we have released many of our projects in the past, this is the first collection of apparel that has been completely designed and produced by us - and we could not be more proud of the results.
Classic collegiate style serves as the inspiration for the latest additions to our Lapstone Fundamentals line of wardrobe staples: The Lapstone Fundamentals Varsity Pack. Taking a cue from the traditional arch logo used by nearly every university for decades, the apparel and accessories in this pack are designed to be just as timeless.
