Achilles has a long journey ahead of itself, with much to come in the near future.
To keep our supporters in the loop we will add updates to projects, and ideas for future endeavors here in the journal to whomever would like to know more about what’s to come and if things change along the way. Achilles is aiming to maintain a level of transparency with its supporters.
Collection I
The first collection is being designed and planned even now, but isn’t in the development stage. This collection can have many evolutions over the coming months but the conceptual side of it is clean. Prepare for something fresh yet unexpected and most of all something to be proud of coming out of Austin. Much of the city’s personality will come through and be interpreted through our own lens.
Coffee shop
A coffee shop has always been something our founder has wanted to open up. This will be the first step into our claim to “Achilles is more than just a clothing brand” The end goal for Achilles will be having multiple sectors of business all under the same ethos and brand to be accessible to all people in different stages of life, while maintaining our aesthetic and identity in each of our branches.
Loose Threads
This is a working concept for an Achilles clothing line that will lean toward a more higher end and artistically focused aesthetic. Garments will be more intricate, limited quantity and experimental than the regular line. The aim for Loose Threads (working title) is for more of an artistic expression through clothing, while having the allure and exclusivity that comes from garments that will be much more limited. The items will be developed here in the US, and produced in Italy and Japan. The end goal for Achilles Loose Threads will be to be the runway line where we can exhibit the full vision of the brand with clothing as the medium.
Capsule II
After the launch of the initial 3 piece capsule collection we will be already working on the second capsule collection. The second release is right now planned to be a five piece capsule with a bit more stand out pieces. These first two launches are to lay the groundwork so we can provide the best possible outcome on our first collection which will follow the second capsule.
