What to know about Permanent Vacation
Projects replace seasonal drops
Releases come as ongoing "Projects" rather than spring/fall collections, and each style stays available until it sells out instead of cycling out on schedule.
Made within 15km of studio
Production is small-batch and local, with garments sewn within roughly 15 kilometres of the brand's Collingwood studio in Melbourne — a large part of the mid-high pricing.
Shirts anchor a skate-adjacent wardrobe
Best known for shirting, with outerwear, tops and lifestyle pieces around it; the cut sits between minimalist contemporary and Melbourne skate and streetwear.
