Forever! New classics, for every generation.

Some things don't need reinventing, just refining. More than a decade since its release, the Forever! collection gets a quiet refresh.

In 2014, we introduced Forever! with six base colours: Pine, Blue, Navy, Camel, Grey and Black. Simple, quiet colours, designed to combine into a modest palette. We wanted something more toned down — a contrast to our annual collections, where colours are bolder and combinations sometimes clash, or even scream.

Some Forever! items became our best sellers. But after more than ten years, we felt the need to stir things up, and surprise ourselves again. In the updated Forever! collection, we're releasing new colour combinations of three familiar designs: the Shopping Bag, Pouch and Backpack, joined by The New 24/7 Bag. Four base colours — Almond, Black, Clay and Tornado — each finished with a contrasting stripe, drawn from the full colour palette. The previous Forever! collection will slowly sell out.

Forever! Family
A collection, like a family, holds many generations together. Our bags and rainwear move between both: on one side of the street, a seven-year-old walks to school one morning with our Backpack. Across the street, a woman of eighty passes with a Shopping Bag on her arm, on her way to the bakery. Sometimes it's the same family — grandmother and grandson, carrying the same design between them.

That's a compliment we don't take for granted.

 

It's what inspired this campaign. We invited four families, each from a different background, to be part of the Forever! Family: the Nauta family (Lou, Dora and Mies), the Asabina family (Troy, Shardon and Hesdy), the Wu family (Pete, Chun and Tong), and the Ramezani family (Ayat, Azadeh and Fachri). Together with Ellie Uyttenbroek and Jan Bijl, we visited them at home, in their own neighbourhood — and the result is a portrait of just how varied our customers really are.

We hope you'll get to know these new Forever! colours soon. Take your time — they're here to stay for a while.
