A limited edition capsule celebrating the modern urban gardener in collaboration with Anglo-Japanese gardening brand Niwaki.

The collaboration brings together YMC’s quietly subversive, considered clothing with Niwaki’s contemporary approach to Japanese horticultural traditions through beautifully made gardening tools and accessories, combining functionality and design with a shared appreciation for things made to last.

“At Niwaki, we've always believed that everyday objects deserve just as much thought as anything else. Whether it's a pair of secateurs or a jacket, if it's well made and works properly, people tend to keep using it for years. That's something I really admire about YMC too. We both care about making things that earn their place through use, so this collaboration felt like a very natural fit.” – Jake Hobson, Founder of Niwaki

The capsule features a curated collection of clothing, tools and accessories for urban gardening. The Bonehead jacket is reworked as the Gardener Jacket in water-resistant fabric, with practical pockets for secateurs and other gardening essentials. YMC’s signature brushed lambswool Suedehead and Jets Jumpers come in deep green and ballerina pink, inspired by Niwaki’s palette.

Niwaki’s Kantan Bag has been redesigned for city and garden life, in a weatherproof canvas with practical storage for gardening tools and everyday essentials. The Higurashi Secateurs complete the collection, designed to be paired with the Single Holster and Sling Belt, both in natural ecru leather.
