Online vintage clothing retailer MARKET has once again teamed up with the iconic kid's cartoon series Looney Tunes to release a concise apparel capsule that oozes nostalgia.
The new MARKET x Looney Tunes collection draws inspiration from 90s-era Cartoon Network aesthetics by transferring a variety of classic Looney Tunes imagery and visual motifs onto wardrobe staples, including pullover hoodies and t-shirts. Characters featured on the apparel include Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Marvin the Martian, and Duck Dodgers. In one standout piece, Bugs Bunny's signature doctor get-up is evoked with text reading "Call My Doctor." In another, Marvin is depicted battling the Duck Dodgers.
Interested consumers can find the entire collection on MARKET's website, where individual items are being sold in either black or white colorways.
