It’s that time of year again, when all the hypebeasts and hypebaes of the world have woken up from their long winter hibernation to witness the first sign of Spring, also known as the first Supreme drop of the year.
We’ve been waiting anxiously for Supreme’s Spring/Summer 2019 debut to come around, and when it finally arrived, it did not disappoint. The extensive collection which launched in stores on Thursday, Feb 21st, featured a bevy of cultural references, from Greek mythology to Christopher Walken. There was also a coveted grandpa patchwork mohair cardigan and even leopard boxer briefs if you’re into that sort of thing.
To prevent our favorite Supreme items from getting too lonely, we’re pairing them with the best designer bags on StockX. Every month, we’ll match up the hottest products from the drop with a bag from the likes of Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Goyard, and more. Think of it as a good old fashion matchmaking exercise that’s always bound to produce a stylish link up.
The Supreme Bonded Logo Down Jacket in Blue
Last Active: February 2019
Specs: Water resistant poly taffeta with bonded logo pattern, down fill and lining. Comes with a full zip closure with zip hand pockets at lower front and interior zip pockets.
Most Passionate About: Living life to the fullest (especially when it’s cold out), Mt. Everest documentaries, and traveling – my next trip is to Norway to finally see the Northern Lights.
Favorite Song: Hotline Bling – Drake
Seeking: A sassy yet sophisticated partner to eat ice cream with in the winter after a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago, where we reenact the museum scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off by staring intensely into George Seurat’s “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte.”
The Chanel Flap Quilted Messenger in Red
Last Active: Circa 2011 – 2013
Specs: Quilted soft lambskin leather in red, featuring a silver chain crossbody trap and iconic silver Chanel CC logo that opens with a magnet. Gray interior with a zipper pocket.
Most Passionate About: French post-Impressionist art, gourmet chocolate and summers in Provence. Life is a journey, and I’m enjoying the ride.
Favorite Song: Little Red Corvette – Prince
Seeking: A strong presence with a lot of personality who knows how to play it cool and isn’t looking to overshadow me – don’t even try. If you’re sleek enough to appreciate a vintage Bordeaux, but also the simpler things in life, like chowing down on a burger from McDonalds in Paris while we’re strolling down the Champs-Élysées, hit me up.
Why It’s a Match
Beyond the fact that Supreme’s Bonded Logo Down Jacket is reminiscent of Chanel’s puffer jacket from its 2017-18 Fall/Winter season, its icy blue exterior perfectly compliments Chanel’s bold red quilted flap bag. Both jacket and bag are versatile and with the right styling, can be dressed up and down with ease. Chanel’s mini messenger can be worn as a crossbody while Supreme’s jacket keeps you functional in the cold with an edge – its all over puffy logo pattern will stand in the always boring sea of winter jackets we see year after year. Enjoy your fine wine with a side of French fries, you two.
