This bold new collection is inspired by vintage 80s KARHU, a time when sportswear featured brilliant patterns and flashy designs. Back then, the standout piece from the collection was a white T-shirt emblazoned with a colourful rainbow-striped KARHU logo.
Officially dubbed the “Team College” logo, KARHU adopted the slogan “Join The Team” as a means to welcome KARHU fans both new and old to the brand. As Sasu Kauppi is now part of the KARHU family, “Join The Team” seemed the perfect theme to revisit for our main concept behind Sasu’s kick-off collaboration.
