Romeo Hunte Capsule – Edgy Glamour Meets Urban Inspiration

In collaboration with New York-based designer Romeo Hunte, Saga Furs unveils an exciting capsule collection that seamlessly marries African American heritage and the vibrant spirit of New York City.

The Accessories capsule is a testament to Romeo Hunte’s unique vision, with standout pieces like denim jeans featuring brick intarsia inspired by the iconic New York subway. True to Hunte’s signature style, the collection boasts a fusion of vivid hues, sophisticated aesthetics, and an unmistakable edge. Catering to a younger demographic and meeting the demand in Asian markets, this fur collection resonates.

“The idea behind creating an accessories capsule was to offer a more approachable option for the younger audience. A full fur coat can sometimes feel overwhelming, which led us to this exciting collaboration,” shares Thea Larsen, a furrier on the Saga Furs team.

Romeo Hunte’s accessories will turn heads

Accessories, inherently more versatile and often more budget-friendly, provide an entry point for many young individuals. It’s no surprise that for many, their first encounter with fur is through a playful pompom, be it attached to their keys, bag, or hat. Naturally, our aim was to craft a collection that stands out, something unexpectedly delightful and not only a pompom.

This collection is thoughtfully designed to function as a cohesive ensemble – pairing jeans with a tank top, Timberland boots with cozy socks, complemented by a paper bag-inspired handbag, backpack, and hat. “My personal favorite is the giant Teddy bear backpack! It’s not only a stand-out piece with ambitious design but also a fantastic way to capture the attention of the younger generation and to bring attention to fox in general,” enthuses Sofia Dimitriadis, a furrier in the Saga Furs team.

She continues, “Despite its extravagance, it has the potential to be a breakthrough hit in certain markets. Our industry could greatly benefit from a product like this! That’s the beauty of collaborating with diverse designers – they always bring something unexpected to the table.”
