California

Introducing the California Collection, a series of designs celebrating the rich and rebellious history of California rock music. Each design in this collection is a tribute to the legendary sounds and stories that have defined the Golden State's music scene, from the mellow hills of Laurel Canyon to the rowdy bars of the Sunset Strip and the twangy rhythms of Bakersfield.

The first design, Laurel Canyon, is inspired by that 60s and 70s scene when legends like Joni Mitchell, The Eagles, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young harmonized and hung out to create timeless music in the Hollywood Hills. This design captures the essence of this creative community, featuring 34 iconic bands and musicians who mingled and mixed rock, country, folk, blues, jazz and psychedelia to make sounds that are still influencing artists today.

Our Riot House design references the Continental Hyatt House (aka "The Riot House"), where 70's rockers like the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin raged above the Sunset Strip — hurling televisions through windows and riding motorcycle's down the halls. Our design captures their wild spirit with a vintage TV set shattering through the classic typeface inspired by the original hotel's signage.

We've put the "western" back in "country & western" with our Bakersfield Sound design. It's a tribute to the gritty, electric style that came out of Bakersfield, California in the 1950s and '60s by legends like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. The design captures this spirit by incorporating flourishes from Buck Owens' famous Nudie suit and his iconic red, white and blue acoustic guitar.

We'll be launching a new design every week in September for your Fall fashion fix. Meanwhile, you can stream our Laurel Canyon playlist on Spotify here.
