Apparel and footwear brand HUF introduced its newest Spring 2018 collection in partnership with Universal Brand Development. The endearing capsule is a result of a special collaborative project to celebrate Felix the Cat. Felix the Cat was a very prominent character during the era of silent film and this new capsule revives the cartoon character. Felix made his first debut in 1919 on cartoon strips and a correlated series.
In the 1950s, Felix the Cat was reworked and has ultimately become a classic American character. The HUF Spring 2018 collection decorates pieces such as long-sleeve shirts, fleece items, hats, vintage button-ups, slides and outerwear with the cartoon cat. The new Felix the Cat HUF capsule will be available at HUF locations and online starting March 1st, with prices ranging from $10 to $90.
