CULVER CITY, Calif.--Sept. 28, 2005--TRUNK LTD., the leader in authentic luxury goods that capture a moment in time, today announced a historic partnership with Harley-Davidson Motor Company to design and distribute a collection of high-end sportswear for men and women. This TRUNK LTD line of Harley-Davidson apparel is influenced by rare archival Harley-Davidson design and imagery spanning the past 100 years.Inspired by moments in time of the Harley-Davidson lifestyle, each piece of TRUNK LTD classic apparel produced for this exclusive collection includes rarely seen images that chronicle defining moments in the legend of Harley-Davidson, such as jerseys from racing pioneers Joe Petrali and "Red" Parkhurst, and artwork from the first authorized Harley-Davidson dealers in the 1950s. Ranging from a short-sleeve crew that will retail for $75-$80 to a classic zip-front hoodie that will sell for $160, the luxury Harley-Davidson collection is expertly manufactured with TRUNK LTD's unique, original double-stitch side seam design (patent pending). All styles are manufactured in limited edition, making every piece a collectible. The inside of each piece contains a story surrounding the specific Harley-Davidson legend and the clothing also features an authentic Harley-Davidson Legend hologram on the hangtag as well as a booklet showing a brief visual anthology of the collection. Along with its signature short sleeve crew, TRUNK LTD has incorporated Harley-Davidson imagery, colors and designs into men's long-sleeve rugby shirts, women's camisoles, and hoodies for men and women.
"Our success is found in our ability to connect to consumers' souls" said Brad Beckerman, CEO and Creative Director, TRUNK LTD.
