Natural History Museum teams with Palava for “sustainable and striking” collection

Palava has launched a clothing collection with The Natural History Museum.

Inspired by the Museum‘s archive and rare books, the range features three marine life-inspired prints – ‘coastal migration’, ‘ocean jellyfish’, and ‘the coral reef’.

“When the opportunity presented itself, we knew we had to go for it,” said Palava founder and designer, Bryony Richardson.

“Collaborating with the Natural History Museum felt just up Palava’s street and to have special access to the incredible archives to pick and choose from was a total joy. With our fascination for the natural world, coupled with our tendency to collect all sorts of weird and quirky specimens and objects, it feels like a match made in colourful heaven.”

Maxine Lister, Head of Licensing at the Natural History Museum, added: “Given our aligned values and dedication to sharing the wonder and beauty of marine life, it should come as no surprise that we’ve collaborated on a wonderful collection showcasing the incredible archive of illustration at the Museum. Creating a collection which is both sustainable and striking was and continues to be key for the Natural History Museum, and this new collection is no exception.”

The Palava x Natural History Museum collaboration is out now at Palava.co and in store at the London shop, with a second drop coming on April 5th.
