Patina Osaka, the first Capella Hotel Group property in Japan, has announced a creative collaboration with Osaka-born graphic designer VERDY. This partnership introduces a globally exclusive merchandise collection, available from 12 July 2025.
As a cultural pioneer and leading voice in global streetwear, VERDY brings his signature aesthetic to Japan’s most thoughtfully designed new luxury hotel.
A Cultural First: Streetwear Meets Conscious Luxury
This marks the first time VERDY has collaborated with a luxury hotel brand. Known worldwide for his creative influence in Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Paris, VERDY now partners with Patina Osaka to craft a collection that blends street culture with sustainable hospitality design. Each item is grounded in VERDY’s roots while reflecting the hotel’s commitment to conscious living and creative sustainability.
Sustainable Style Inspired by Osaka and the Planet
For the first time in his career, VERDY incorporates eco-conscious materials into his designs. Inspired by Patina Osaka’s environmental philosophy, the collection embraces low-impact production and reflects a shared commitment to transformative luxury with purpose.
“Working with Patina Osaka allowed me to merge the worlds of street culture and high-end hospitality,” said VERDY. “I approached the design in my usual style, remaining true to my roots. My character Vick appears throughout the collection, representing this cultural blend. I’m excited to share this creative energy with both Osaka and the world.”
VERDY x Patina Osaka: Limited Collection Launches 12 July 2025
The limited-edition VERDY x Patina Osaka collection features three exclusive T-shirt designs, a workwear jacket, and graphic sticker sets. Items will be available at Patina Osaka’s ground-floor retail shop starting at 10am on Saturday, 12 July 2025. This launch is expected to draw global interest and local fans alike.
Ellen Franke, General Manager of Patina Osaka, explained: “As our Creative Partner, VERDY captures the soul of our city. This is more than merchandise. It’s an invitation to experience the spirit of Osaka through art, fashion, and design.”
