Lee x Crayola Launched a Global Collaboration Celebrating Icons in Color
- Craftsmanship meets Creativity in Men and Women’s Workwear Featuring the Crayola Limited Edition Retired Colors.
Lee® and Crayola® introduce a global color rewind, fusing the Crayola limited edition retired crayon colors and Lee’s iconic workwear silhouettes.
Available for a limited time, this capsule celebrates the brands’ combined American heritage, creative spirit, and commitment to self-expression.
For the first time in Crayola’s history, eight fan-favorite retired colors have returned to create the Limited Edition Collection, including Magic Mint, Dandelion, Raw Umber, Orange Red, and Violet Blue. The palette washes Lee’s iconic indigo railroad stripe pattern in color, bringing a ’90s-inspired nod to overalls, carpenter pants and chore jackets. Tops showcasing playful graphics and hue-filled hoodies complement the capsule. Pieces feature exclusive co-branded leather patches, rivets popping in the palette’s colors, and other uniquely designed trim.
“Crayola immediately brings to mind creativity, expression and a hint of childhood nostalgia. Layering this palette with Lee’s workwear resulted in a collaboration that embraces those feelings while being fresh, modern and made for today’s consumer,” said Joe Broyles, vice-president of global collaborations, Lee.
“Color has such a personal connection for all ages, and we are thrilled to unite with Lee to bring the Limited Edition Collection of retired crayon colors to life,” says April Heeren, senior director Americas outbound licensing at Crayola. “This partnership celebrates where timeless denim meets the vibrant spirit of creativity, inspiring self-expression in each shade.”
