Vault by Vans X Notre introduce: OG Style 36 LX

February 01, 2022

Introducing three colorways of the OG Style 36 LX, Vault by Vans teams up with Notre to modernize beloved classics and send a message about connection. Marking the third collaboration between the two recognizable brands, the new iterations of the OG style reimagines what many people know about the iconic sneaker. These sneakers are an exclusive must-have with a transformed jazz stripe, adopting Notre’s iconic handshake.

The colorways are inspired by cafe drinks— matcha, espresso, and tea, feeding into the love of sitting and sharing moments while enjoying one’s favorite beverage. While times seem uncertain and connectivity appears sparse, conversations have gained even more importance due to restricted outings and limited social engagements. Meditating on the relationships and routines we have day-to-day, this collection explores the intimacy that happens during a cafe experience and how those moments can truly impact your day.

We believe that everything is best served together.

Lucila Safdie Unveils SS25: Farewell Princess

January 09, 2025

Dreaming of royalty is oftentimes commonplace for many little girls growing up. To be a princess is a fantasy that is alluring and magical, and something that we’ve all wanted to be. In her fourth collection, London-based designer Lucila Safdie pays homage to just that. Girlhood is magical, it’s sacred, yet something that is ever fleeting. It’s all swirled together with an effervescent nostalgia and longing for sweetness. Farewell Princess is Safdie’s seal of immortalizing that feeling we all try to bottle up.

Drawing inspiration from the duality of womanhood, the trials and tribulations of coming-of-age, the SS25 collection nods to the sweet femininity while juxtaposing a forceful strength. Safdie’s girl knows she’s destined for more and is willing to do what it takes to get there. Looking to the greats such as Grace Kelly, and Marilyn Monroe, Safdie unveils a collection that calls upon all the young starlets who are next in line for the spotlight.
