Background

When designer brands started charging sky-high prices for basic comfort, Fruit of the Loom couldn’t let that fly. So we teamed up with Southwest Airlines on the Getaway Collection, a travelwear collection that put money back into the pockets of travelers… literally

Deliverables

In addition to a satirical photoshoot and custom “luxury” packaging, we partnered with comedy influencer Caroline Ricke—known for parodying the ultra-wealthy—to help launch The Getaway Collection.

Results

The Getaway Collection—Fruit of the Loom and Southwest’s limited drop of sweats priced like couture but packed with gift cards—took off fast, fueling buzz online, driving fans to Fruit.com, and proving comfort and value could own the travelwear conversation.
