PATINA OSAKA UNVEILS COLLABORATION WITH OSAKA-BORN GRAPHIC DESIGNER VERDY

VERDY brings his distinctive aesthetic to globally-exclusive merchandise collection

Patina Osaka, the first hotel in Japan by Capella Hotel Group which opened on 1 May 2025, marks mindful creativity and local artistry with a special collection of exclusive merchandise designed with VERDY, a globally recognised cultural leader and creative force originally from Osaka. These limited-edition items will be available from 12 July 2025. This partnership marks the first time VERDY has collaborated with a luxury hotel, bringing street culture's most influential voice to Japan's most thoughtfully designed hospitality space.

Sustainable Design with Purpose

For the first time in his career spanning over a decade across Japan, North America and Europe, VERDY has woven environmentally-conscious materials into his work, inspired by Patina Osaka's commitment to sustainability. This collection reflects a shared dedication to creative innovation and thoughtful production, embodying the hotel's philosophy of transformative luxury through conscious living.

“In working with Patina Osaka, I felt that my role was to represent the fusion of street culture and luxury,” says VERDY. “With that in mind, I deliberately approached the merchandise design in my own natural style. My work has always been rooted in street culture, so I believed that by staying true to myself and expressing the graphics authentically, I could naturally create something that fits the project. Based on that idea, I developed the graphics by incorporating my original character, Vick. I look forward to continuing this creative partnership with Patina Osaka and introducing new cultural movements from Osaka to the world."

The VERDY x Patina Osaka Collection

As part of this collaboration, a limited-edition collection featuring three distinct T-shirt designs, a workwear jacket, and stickers will be available for purchase from 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, 12 July at the retail shop on the ground floor of Patina Osaka.

"As our Creative Partner, VERDY embodies the creative spirit at Patina's core," says Ellen Franke, General Manager, Patina Osaka. " This collaboration captures something deeper than merchandise – it's about honouring the creative spirit that makes Osaka extraordinary and welcoming the global community into that story. VERDY's distinctive aesthetic and unique spirit reflect align with Patina's purpose to offer fresh and powerful perspectives."

This partnership represents the beginning of Patina Osaka's broader creative programming, which will include a rotating exhibition space featuring both established and emerging artists, a creator-in-residence programme bringing global talent to Osaka, and regular programming celebrating the intersection of art, music, fashion, and gastronomy.
