Matchless London creates Star Wars capsule collection

Good news for fashion lovers who also have a weak spot for Star Wars. Clothing label Matchless London has designed a capsule collection which offers items based on the popular sci-fi film series. The Star Wars collection contains sixteen items for men, women and children.

“I am a Star Wars fan,” said Michele Malenotti, Matchless´ CEO, in an interview with Women´s Wear Daily (WWD). “Matchless was closed for many years, and now we are reviving it. We are reestablishing the company and the clothing part is a very important part of the deal.” The brand was established in 1878 but ended production in 1966, when Matchless´ parent company AMC became part of another company. Malenotti bought the rights for the company, which originally focused on manufacturing motorcycle gear, in 2012 with his brother Manuele.

Customers who want to buy a garment from the collection will soon be able to do so through the webshop of Matchless, or at a number of department stores including Selfridges. The exact date has yet to be announced. Prices range from 400 pounds for a nylon jacket to 1.500 pounds for a jacket made of napa leather.
