MNTGE and Duke's Cupboard join forces on a progressive new capsule of vintage clothing this season. The limited edition range is displayed at a pop-up event at Paris Fashion Week, taking place from June 20-22. Co-founder of MNTGE, Sean Wotherspoon taps Milo Harley and Ned Membery from Duke's Cupboard to curate a fine selection of 75 rare vintage pieces collected from the late 1980s to early 2000s.
Some of the designs include those from Moncler, Stone Island, Prada, and more. Most notably, all of the items are embedded with the innovative NFC chip technology by MNTGE -- each piece offers unique insights into the garment's history, shared by Milo, Ned, and Sean. The capsule also gives customers the opportunity to win vintage apparel including coveted items such as iconic graphic tees by tapping the NFC-chipped garment to their phone.
