Vans and PaperGirl Announce Their New Collaboration

— July 24, 2024 — Fashion
Vans and PaperGirl, which is the sister brand of the iconic Parisian café PaperBoy Paris announced its first collaboration. PaperBoy was founded a decade ago and PaperGirl is the latest to emerge with the goal to create something special for women. Now working with Vans, the two present a capsule of monochromatic shoes that are adorned with polka dot patterning.

The hero silhouette in the range is the LX Old Skool which comes in youth and toddler sizing as well. The shoes are constructed from suede and canvas materials throughout the upper and detailed with the iconic Side strip and PaperGirl polka dot motif. Branding can be seen at the heel counter and it comes with three sets of laces: white, pink with glowing aglets, or black with logo details and petal pink aglets. The rest of the capsule features the Authentic 44 with a canvas build and blank canvas inviting creative liberty. The collaboration is now available to shop online today and at in-store and online at PaperBoy Paris.
