Marley Apparel with Modern Style

In a move that reflects the company's continued expansion into the fashion apparel space, Bravado, Universal Music Group's global music merchandising company, has launched Marley Apparel, a new and exciting men's clothing line, drawing inspiration and paying tribute to the late and legendary Bob Marley and his signature style during the 60's and 70's. 

Designed by Bob Marley's eldest daughter Cedella Marley, the collection embodies Marley's passion for life in the studio and on the soccer field. Iconic images of Marley are brought to life using high quality and sustainable fabrics to create a collection of modern day casual-wear with a retro twist.

Marley Apparel is comprised of refined utilitarian pieces with stand-out garments including Marley Apparel Boardshorts, made from recycled plastic bottle fibers converted to sustainable fabrics, featuring unique archived prints and collages from Bob's home of Kingston, Jamaica. The Marley Apparel Fall/Winter 2014 Collection boasts a series of heavy cotton-slub varsity sweaters, washed cotton twill bottoms, French terry knits and chambray woven men's shirts.Outerwear includes the Marley Apparel Field Jacket, featuring subtle odes to Bob through patches symbolizing fire, wind and water, as well as the Rastafarian flag emblazoned with 1945 (Bob's birth year.)

Every design element in this exclusive new collection serves to stay true to Bob's fashion sensibility- from top of the range sustainable fabrics to distressed enameled buttons. Each garment is adorned with a Marley Apparel signature tea-stained woven label, featuring the Rastafarian spiritual symbol of a crown.

 A portion of the net proceeds from the sale of Marley Apparel will go to the One Love Gardens initiative. One Love Gardens helps fund and create self-sufficient, eco-friendly plots of land for the less affluent communities to grow food and herbs in Jamaica and eventually around the world.
