Swedish brand Mini Rodini launches capsule collection with Wrangler

“I was longing for classic, durable styles when I designed this collection. We definitely wanted to use the traditional silhouettes of Wrangler,” said Cassandra Rhodin, founder of Mini Rodini. “When I was 14 years old and treasure hunting through vintage stores in Stockholm, a pair of mega flared unwashed Wrangler jeans was coveted and now I’m excited that Mini Rodini is a part of Wrangler’s heritage and future history.”

The Mini Rodini x Wrangler limited-edition collection consists of denim and jersey styles made of 100 per cent GOTS-certified cotton. The denim styles include jackets, vests and jeans in regular and flare styles while the jersey styles include sweater sets, tees, dresses, baby onesies and underwear featuring Wrangler’s iconic “W” stitching. All pieces throughout the collection showcase Mini Rodini’s Peace Dove, which was first created by Rhodin in 2008, the company said in a press release.

“We wanted to combine our expertise in denim with Mini Rodini’s playful designs for children’s clothing,” said Vivian Rivetti, vice president of global design at Wrangler. “It has been such an incredible experience to re-imagine classic Wrangler silhouettes for our youngest fans. Each style is designed to withstand the test of time and the many adventures of kids, with pieces that can be passed down from sibling to sibling. And while we are really excited about the design, it was very important to maintain both brands’ commitment to sustainability for a better, healthier and happier planet. As a true Wrangler fan, Cassandra influenced the collection by creating the dove print, designing the collection, shooting the lookbook and campaign images and writing the campaign film story.”
