Original Capsule · Family & Kids Apparel

California Summer Social Club

A full family lifestyle collection built around an original brand world — beginning with early concept sketches under the working name “California Summer Club,” then developing through trend research, consumer profiling, color story, and a complete patchwork denim jacket program spanning men’s, women’s, boys’, girls’, and toddler sizing as California Summer Social Club, extended into a graphic tee program under the “Pacific Coast Explorers” badge line. Built to demonstrate head-to-toe family dressing, including infant and youth product, from sketch to production-ready spec.
