The raccoon’s out of the bag.
The press release has hit.
And we are so freaking happy to finally get to share this with ya’ll.
.
Announcing the launch of the Camp Wandawega Kids Clothing line for GANT.
.
Almost to the day a year ago- we got a call from Christopher Bastin, Global Creative Director for GANT.
.
We were thrilled (and in all sorts of disbelief) to hear that this American-born heritage brand wanted to design a kids clothing line, inspired by (eek!) Camp Wandawega. It’s been hard to keep this under wraps for the past year while the line has been in it’s design & production phases, but it’s finally here, and we’re overjoyed to share it with you.
.
We can’t wait to outfit Charlie in clothes inspired by her very own home in Wisconsin, and we’re humbled to have partnered with the great folks at this beautiful brand. The GANT blog features our camp favorites & ‘must sees’ in the area.
