KAPTEN & SON PRESENTS: THE NEW AALBORG BY VANEZIA BLUM

24. April 2022 By Laura Schindler

After jointly designed sunglasses and prescription glasses in the same style, now comes the matching backpack! The lovely Vanessa graces us now for the third time with a new fashion creation from her unique fashion sense. As one of our longest standing partners, she has accompanied us for more than 2 years. Therefore, for us there was no question that the collaboration should go into the third round this year. May we introduce to you – the Aalborg by Vanezia Blum! Starting 04/24/2022 you can grab the backpack online as well as in our stores.

ABOUT VANESSA

Most of you surely know Vanessa from her Instagram channel @vanezia_blum. There she takes her nearly 350 thousand followers through everyday life and on trips. But a special topic close to Vanessa’s heart is first and foremost animal welfare. For years she has been passionately committed to the animals of this world, whether stray dogs in Greece, animal rescue centers in Romania or support for animal shelters in Germany. The focus is always on the chance of a happy life for animals of all kinds.
And this motto does not only apply to animal rescue, Vanessa also stands up for the topics feminism and self-love and encourages young women to stand up for themselves with self-confidence. We are happy to have such a lovely and authentic creator at our side!

THE DESIGN

In addition to her activist commitment, Vanessa also has a pretty deft hand for fashion, which can already be admired with her own label: Vanezia. She also applied this fashion talent to the creation of her backpack. The choice for the model was our new Aalborg. With its completely expandable back and front and outer pockets, the Aalborg is a real space miracle. Vanessa has reinterpreted the classic backpack design! You can expect a stylish, peachy beige tone combined with a soft cream-beige and intricate golden details. A subtle color combination that is perfect for spring!

Just like the last collaborations, the sale of the backpack is meant to support animal welfare, which is why 5€ per sold backpack will be donated to Save the Dogs in Kallikratia e.V. again. They are committed to animal welfare in Greece and have been supported by Vanessa on a voluntary basis for a long time.

Doing something good will be easier than ever! The quantities of the backpack are limited though, so be quick and snatch up the Aalborg by Vanezia Blum!

Have an awesome day! 🤗

Don’t miss the tropical vibes of our new Praia by Paola Locatelli!

8. May 2021 By Laura Schindler

We’ve brought you something very special this time and don’t want to keep you in suspense any longer, because we’ve been waiting a while to tell you this great news! Together with the French model, influencer and style icon Paola Locatelli, we have designed a very special pair of sunglasses. And we’ll tell you all about it in this blog post. But first, this it-piece will be available in our online shop from May 8th – and be beware, because you have to be quick as these sunglasses will only be available in a strictly limited number of pieces! We have been working with Paola for a few years now and have recently approached her to start a design collaboration with us. It wasn’t just her radiant career that inspired us – those who know her from Instagram, know that she is a patron of the Aida Association, where she helps young people with cancer. Besides that, she’s already a really successful model at the age of 17. We are very delighted to be able to call such a creative and amazing soul our partner for this project. The result of this collaboration is a completely new model with a unique design. Paola was inspired by her Creole roots – her parents originally came from Cape Verde, so she incorporated the African summer flair of the island in the design. The Praia sunglasses impress with their chunky style. The rectangular model comes with wide temples that perfectly transition to the front part. Another special feature is the cool 3D effect that the sunglasses create through the lower lenses. But let’s move on to the most striking detail of the glasses – the color. Paola has chosen a crushed ice blue color and turquoise temples. The glasses are completed with added silver details. Paola has let her creativity run free and created a beautiful statement piece for the upcoming summer season. These glasses immediately lift your spirit as soon as you see them and give any outfit a fresh update. Paola is also delighted with the result and tells us: “designing my own signature sunglasses is a dream come true! I can’t wait to show my community the final result and hope they love these sunglasses as much as I do.”

We’re already absolutely in love with the new piece and can’t wait for the launch! So if you don’t want to miss out on this must-have, you should waste no time and get yourself a pair! Have fun shopping!

Retro Vibes Incoming – The New Williamsburg by Joann van den Herik

24. April 2021 By Laura Schindler

She mesmerizes everyone, is one of the most famous body positivity influencers in the Netherlands and has a little thing for crystals – that’s right, we’re talking about none other than Joann van den Herik! The charismatic blogger inspires her huge community with her happiness and strength on a daily basis, and this time we had the pleasure of working with her on a design collaboration. The result: the new “Williamsburg by joannvdherik“, which will be available from April 24th in a very limited number in our online shop!

But first, let’s talk about Joann: If you don’t know her yet, you will surely fall in love with her right away! The joyous Joann advocates for countless issues, including physical and mental health, equality and inclusion. It’s no coincidence that she’s one of the most well-known body positivity influencers in the Netherlands. And besides her crystal collection, her family is particularly close to her heart. On top of that, she’s also an ambassador for the “Free A Girl” foundation, which rescues girls from exploitation around the world. This is also the reason why we decided to make this collaboration more than just a design collaboration. Together with Joann, we decided that a portion of the revenues earned from this sunglasses collaboration will be donated to that organization. Because not only do the shared values connect us with Joann but also the goal to change the world step by step and make a statement about it.

Last but not least, we want to introduce to you the timeless it-piece that Joann created with us. As you can already see, she chose the unisex vintage design of the “Williamsburg” sunglasses. The frame comes in a beautiful golden tone, which is the perfect combination to the warm brown lenses. The lenses come in a striking gradient color, giving them an urban retro charm. Joann has met the current fashion trends and designed this amazing must-have accessory for all fashion lovers.

So don’t miss out on this highlight, because you certainly don’t want to be without it this upcoming summer season! Have a great day!
