HOUSE OF WILDWOOD X The Parkside Hotel

THIS ENTIRE COLLECTION WAS MADE FROM RETIRED HOTEL DRAPERY

Urban environments can be harsh—brutalist concrete towers, looming over giant beige walls. Artists have, for centuries, been engaged in a community enhancement project that the Romans gave a name: Graffiti. As a product of regulatory necessity, hotel drapes are a pragmatic mixture of aesthetic and practicality: fire retardant and light resistant, while still being part of the decors supporting cast—they are the concrete tower. We were inspired by the Roman’s method and reimagined the drapes as a blank wall: something poised to become meaningful.

THE ANORAK

Inspired by the classic anoraks of Arctic exploration. This water resistant jacket featured large flap pocket on front, a three part hood with toggled drawstring and recessed recycled ribbing cuffs. House made labels.

THE CARGO SLACKS

Inspired by the roomy slacks of the 1930s. Featuring two side pockets, two large cargo pockets on each thigh, and contrasting pockets and waistband. House made labels.

THE BUCKET HAT

Inspired by the fishing hats of the 1900s. This reversible, water resistant hat features our custom spray paint art. House made labels.

THE FANCY BAG

Inspired by the classically desirable Birkin bag, introduced in 1984. Featuring reinforced construction, two inside pockets, and hand woven handles. House made labels.

Inspired by the audacity of classic streetwear, this limited capsule collection was an experiment in resource sharing, and a celebration of transformation. Each item was made to order in our Victoria, BC atelier, using only recycled materials.

Sales from this collection between 16 SEP - 16 OCT were donated to the Canadian non-profit Oceana to help restore ocean abundance and protect sea-life habitats.
