The Maison Kitsuné x Hunter capsule brings together two design worlds, creating a collection that captures the spirit of both brands: French sophistication and British practicality. This collaboration launches in October 2025 and marks the first encounter between Maison Kitsuné, a Paris-meets-Tokyo lifestyle label, and Hunter, an iconic heritage brand known for its weatherproof expertise.
The collection revolves around reinterpreting Hunter’s famous Downpour boots. Offered in tall and short versions, the boots come in black and stone beige with printed chevron linings; the shorter versions feature a striking chevron print. The collaboration doesn’t stop at footwear. It also includes outerwear and accessories that blend urban style with utility while staying true to the DNA of both brands.
Maison Kitsuné brings its graphic charm to raincoats and cloaks in beige and laurel green, which are enhanced by branded snap buttons and signature chevron linings. The children’s pieces are whimsical yet practical: rain boots and jackets covered in fox head prints come in navy blue, white, and green. The collection also includes silver sage T-shirts, a laurel green tote bag, and a vibrant orange umbrella lined with a chevron print. These items offer coordinated options for any weather.

Matthew Salter, the executive vice president of partnerships and marketing at Authentic Brands Group, the owner of the Hunter brand, shared the essence of this collaboration: “This collaboration brings together two brands with rich heritage and distinctive identities. By pairing Hunter’s iconic weather-ready designs with Maison Kitsuné’s Paris-meets-Tokyo aesthetic, we’ve created a collection that feels fresh, functional, and fashion-forward. It’s a true celebration of creativity and cultural exchange that will resonate with style-conscious consumers around the world.”
The co-branded logo perfectly captures the spirit of the project: the Kitsuné fox wears an effortlessly charming Hunter-branded baseball cap, symbolizing the playful link between French nonchalance and British tradition.
The partnership feels natural. Founded over 160 years ago, Hunter has evolved from a rubber boot manufacturer into a lifestyle brand celebrated for its durable footwear and outerwear. Maison Kitsuné was created in 2002 by Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki. It has become a global reference for a modern art de vivre, spanning fashion, music, and café culture, all tied to its elegant Paris-meets-Tokyo aesthetic.
The Maison Kitsuné x Hunter collection is designed for those who appreciate understated design and craftsmanship. The collection’s pieces are practical yet stylish, highlighting how functional fashion can be refined and expressive. Every detail, from chevron patterns to rich, earthy tones, reflects a thoughtful balance between comfort and creativity.
Blending Maison Kitsuné’s signature wit with Hunter’s deep-rooted outdoor spirit, the collection offers a refreshing take on rainwear. It honors heritage while appealing to a modern audience seeking durable, stylish pieces with character.
The capsule will be available this month at Maison Kitsuné and Hunter boutiques across Europe and Asia, as well as online.
