Don't forget
your laundry.
Launching a unique product collaboration in an unexpected way.
As a part of their Out of Fashion campaign, Red Wing Heritage launched a limited-edition collection of footwear with an unlikely collaborator: a hole-in-the-wall laundromat in Taiwan. Chang Wan-ji and Hsu Sho-er have made a name for themselves by modeling their customer's forgotten laundry on their Instagram, @wantshowasyoung. Inspired by the couple's circular fashion ethos, Red Wing Heritage collected 30 lost, rare, and unreleased boots from the hidden corners of their Minnesota offices and put them up for auction, with all proceeds benefitting the Want Show Redefine Project.
Wanting to launch the collection with an idea as unique as the collaboration itself, Red Wing Heritage tapped our team to concept an innovative way of revealing the partnership. Inspired by the collaboration's unconventional origins and altruistic mission, we set out to design an auction whose aesthetics rivaled that of historic auction houses but was still accessible to Red Wing Heritage's audience of boot collectors.
