RUNAWAYS: INTRODUCING SUMMER 2019

Embarking on the ultimate road trip to the ‘land of the free’, and the birthplace of Wrangler, we set our sights on travelling along Route 66 – the road that truly captures the imagination and essence of the American spirit.

The highway became known as the road of dreams, and inspired musicians, writers, dreamers and explorers in search of freedom and adventure. The ‘mother road’ literally cut across the Country like a shortcut to freedom and a better life, until it was decommissioned in 1985 - leaving a path of abandoned towns in its wake.

We met up with real life couple Valentina and Richie to cruise along this iconic open road, drawn to the mystery of forgotten towns and a road less travelled.

Together, Valentina, an Aussie girl living in LA with dreamy blue eyes and an easy going nature, and Richie, a fun and creative powerhouse, make quite the couple. They have a unique and individual style all their own, we paired our Summer range back with their personal collection of cowboy boots and hats. Creativity just oozes out of them, and they bring you into their vortex with ease, exuding an energy that makes you want to stay just a little longer.

This is a story of young love, adventure and freedom – runaways on the road of dreams.
