AURALEE and TEKLA Join Forces for an Onsen-Inspired Collection
Japanese fashion brand AURALEE and Danish lifestyle brand TEKLA have announced a unique collaboration inspired by the serene ritual of Japanese onsen (hot springs). This limited-edition collection, dubbed “AURALEE x TEKLA,” encapsulates the comforting warmth and tranquility associated with the traditional Japanese bath experience.
The collection seamlessly blends AURALEE’s signature high-quality fabrics and TEKLA’s commitment to organic cotton and plush terry cloth. It features an array of luxurious items, including soft towels, cozy sleepwear, stylish outerwear, and cozy knit accessories, all designed to evoke the sense of relaxation and well-being associated with an onsen visit.
A Fusion of Expertise and Shared Values
Charlie Hedin, Creative Director of TEKLA, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “We are incredibly proud to be merging our expertise and shared values to create a unique collection that celebrates bath culture and elevates everyday life.”
Ryohei Iwai, designer of AURALEE, shared a similar sentiment, emphasizing the personal connection to the project. “This collaboration, which began as a natural conversation, has blossomed into something truly special. Personally, I have always been drawn to the bath and onsen experience. It is incredibly meaningful to see this culture inspire our brands and translate into this collection.”
