The Hender Scheme x Pendleton collection is the first collaboration between the American wool textile brand and the Japanese fashion brand as a series of high-end fashions that blend aesthetics from both cultures.
The collection builds on Hender Scheme's expertise with footwear and sees Pendleton's wool being used to accent a series of otherwise quietly chic shoe styles. The collection also boasts variety jackets in two colors and handbags crafted with woolen fabric along with leather accent handles.
The Hender Scheme x Pendleton collection is being launched at the former brand's locations in Sukima, Kappabashi, Miyashita Park and Osaka as well as online starting October 26, 2024. The various fashions are expected to be a hit amongst Japanese consumers with a penchant for Americana heritage styles.
