Influential Surf Shop Thalia Surf and Vans Unite for Laguna Beach-Inspired Footwear and Apparel Collection

Influential Laguna Beach surf shop Thalia Surf and Vans have joined forces for a collection of co-created footwear and apparel. Consisting of the Sk8-Low, the Authentic, the Slip-On and a full set of apparel, the offerings aim to represent Laguna Beach’s famed waterfront, a unique mixture of open beaches and rugged, rock-filled shores.

Sk8-Lows are crafted from various brown and tan leathers, Authentics from navy suede with olive trim and Eras of ridged brown corduory. This muted color palette was made with a specific intention and inspiration: it calls out to rich ocean waters plus beachfront foliage and rocks, all placed by the Pacific Coast Highway — where Thalia Surf resides as well. Apparel consists of a pullover hoodie, a crewneck sweatshirt, two long-sleeve tees and three short-sleeve tees, all with surf-inspired branding.

2021 marks Thalia Surf’s 20th anniversary, and the surf shop’s relationship with Vans stretches back over a decade as well. In 2010, the two even created a partner store with a special selection of surf equipment and apparel that can’t be purchased anywhere else, and Thalia Surf has long provided inspiration for various Vans Surf projects.

The Thalia Surf x Vans collection is available on the Thalia Surf webstore now, and will hit Vans’ online store come August 20.
