Mother of God: The Divine Lorraine Hotel Accessories Collection Is Everything You Need
Philly architecture geeks, listen up: The city’s best-loved abandoned building now has its own line of accessories. The grand historic hotel, which is slated to become a luxury apartment building (construction supposedly starts any day now; read all about that over on our fabulous sister blog, Property), has been immortalized in all its 19th-century grandeur … on a pair of Converse. And on hats, crewneck tees, denim jackets and keychains. Basically, the collection lets you pretend you once stayed at the Divine Lorraine, and then stole all the cute little hotel amenities it offered (grooming and shoeshine kits, a stamped tray, monogrammed robes and towels).
It could have very easily awry, like bad Pope memorabilia. But in the hands of local designer Najeeb Sheik and store Lapstone & Hammer (this year’s Best of Philly winner for best new men’s store!), it becomes something actually … covetable.
The capsule collection launches today online at 10am and in-store at 7pm. See more of the limited-edition goods below and here, and prepare to shop quickly. This stuff is guaranteed to be a fast sell-out.
