Two American icons embark
on exclusive collection, road trip

(July 3, 2024) STAMFORD, Conn. — The lifestyle apparel brand vineyard vines, renowned for its iconic smiling pink whale logo and classic, casual clothing, announce its first collaboration with Jeep, the legendary SUV brand. This July, as vineyard vines celebrates its 26th birthday and Jeep rings in its 83rd, the two brands will introduce an exclusive capsule collection that celebrates their shared passion for adventure and the outdoors.

The collection will launch online at vineyardvines.com and in select stores along with a sweepstakes to win a custom vineyard vines Jeep Gladiator, among other prizes. The collaboration pays tribute to the early days of vineyard vines when co-founders Shep and Ian Murray would travel across New England selling ties out of their own Jeep Wrangler.

The limited-edition vineyard vines X Jeep capsule collection features apparel in soft fabrics and colorways reminiscent of a beach sunset perfect for summer adventures. Fans can look forward to stylish and comfortable hats, sweatshirts, shirts and shorts for men and women, all embodying the laid-back vibe of both brands. To celebrate this collaboration, a custom vineyard vines Jeep Gladiator will embark on a promotional road trip, stopping in select locations to showcase the collection, host exclusive events and promote the custom Jeep vehicle X vineyard vines enter-to-win sweepstakes.

“In 1998, we followed our dreams and started selling ties out of the back of a Jeep Wrangler on Martha’s Vineyard. Now, partnering with the Jeep brand for an exclusive collection, road tour and giveaway is the ultimate ‘Every Day Should Feel This Good' moment for us,” said Shep Murray, co-founder of vineyard vines.

"We have been chasing our dream of vineyard vines in a Jeep since we were able to drive. There's no better feeling than being behind the wheel of a Jeep vehicle. Be it an old CJ-7 or one of today's Rubicons, the feeling is the same: boundless opportunity, freedom ahead and the ability to chase your dream! It's come full circle and we are so happy to be able to share our love of Jeep by giving away a custom vineyard vines Gladiator Rubicon that we specced out specifically to embody the EDSFTG life,” added Ian Murray, co-founder of vineyard vines.

Jeep and vineyard vines were brought together by licensing agent IMG. For more information on the vineyard vines X Jeep Collection, details on the road tour and giveaway, visit vineyardvines.com or follow the brands on social media using the hashtag #VVJeepGiveaway.
