BIRKENSTOCK 1774, the German heritage brand’s special projects and collaboration unit and Tekla, the Copenhagen-based homeware brand, are proud to introduce their first collaboration together. Inspired by ideals of contemplation and finding stillness of mind, the collection comprises pieces made for moments of comfort. The collaboration is born of a mutual appreciation of quality, reflecting the brands’ shared values of craftsmanship, and marks a significant milestone for both: BIRKENSTOCK explores the realm of apparel and Tekla takes its first step into the world of footwear. Footwear and sleepwear are crafted in high-quality materials using BIRKENSTOCK’s iconic silhouettes and Tekla’s distinct approach to colour, giving the appearance of being “dipped in colour”. BIRKENSTOCK’s iconic Nagoya slip-on clog and Uji sandal are updated with elevated details – like elongated straps on the shoes’ overlap fastening detail and hand stitching – and premium materials. Footwear is crafted in a balanced palette of subtle and saturated block colourways taken from Tekla’s colour universe. The footwear collection introduces four monochromatic colourways in Slate, Straw, Mauve, and Powder, used across a material mix to give a serene, “dipped in colour” finish. BIRKENSTOCK’s distinctive cork footbed is covered in soft shearling for added comfort, finished with a smooth Nappa leather heel wrap. All shoes are made in Germany and come in a tonal, poplin pillow sham-style dust bag, and co-branded shoe box made from recycled paper. #BIRKENSTOCK #TEKLA #collaboration #footwear #sleepwear
