Oct. 29, 2020: L.L.Bean x Todd Snyder is officially here.

Dubbed the “From Away Collection,” it features a 50-piece assortment — composed of the L.L.Bean Boot, Portuguese cotton flannel chamois shirts, puffer vests and Norwegian sweaters, among other merchandise — inspired by a mash-up of “Maine outdoorsman and downtown New Yorker,” explained Snyder. It also marks the largest collaboration to date for the Maine-based company. “Working closely with Todd to comb through our archives for inspiration, it became clear that he gets our history and our brand, and we couldn’t think of a more perfect fit,” added Owen Kelly, VP of product creation for L.L.Bean. The limited-edition pieces are available for purchase in select L.L.Bean and Todd Snyder locations, as well as online at www.LLBean.com and www.ToddSnyder.com.
