"The House of Marley" has collaborated with surfing brand Billabong to launch a new clothing collection that will go on sale this December.
The reason for this collaboration reflects Bob Marley's philosophy of life. "One world, one love" was his motto and is the motto Billabong has chosen to embody in its product.
His image leaves us with the emotional connection reflected in the legacy that has endured for nearly 30 years since his death.
One of the premier brands in surfing has committed to creating innovative products that are also environmentally friendly. This way, the core values of both Bob Marley and Billabong continue to be respected: preservation, equality and authenticity.
The line includes swimwear, sleeveless and short-sleeved t-shirts, and various accessories. Moreover, all products have been made from recycled and organic materials including organic cotton and recycled polyester.
For both entities, working together is a privilege, as reflected in their statements for Billabong:
"I love it, the collection is really cool and conscious", commented Ziggy Marley when asked about the eco-friendly collection concept.
"Working with the Marley family and interpreting their vision of their father has been truly inspiring", said Billabong USA designer Rob Carty. To him, "Cedella and Ziggy have been very insightful in making this collection a great success".
Specialist shops and Billabong stores will make the collection available across Europe by mid-December 2010.
