We have previewed already the Holiday 2011 A.P.C. x Carhartt Capsule Collection and have also produced an in-house shoot for the occasion of this team-up. The line has finally released in retail today and we came across one item that we did not show you yet – the utility key. The stainless steel key is a 6-in-1 multifunction tool, including a bottle opener, miniatures serrated and straight knife blades, and three screwdrivers (phillips, flat and micro-eyeglass). The collaborative logo has been applied on the utility key and the wooden box that it comes in.

In 2009 Supreme and A.P.C. collaborated on a pair of raw denim and some t-shirts. New York brand Supreme added some details to the popular denim of the French brand, including their ‘Fuck Em!’ slogan, embroidered in small on the back pocket.

HBO’s ‘How To Make It In America’ just aired their season finale, in which Crisp shows off its first pair of jeans and they seem to have been heavily inspired by that pair of Supreme x A.P.C. jeans. Placed at the exact same spot on the back pocket you will find the slogan ‘Fuckin Crisp!’ embroidered.

A fantastic outerwear piece is coming from the A.P.C. Fall/Winter 2011 Collection. The Vintage Shearling Leather Blouson features a soft suede upper and a shearling fur lining, sure to keep you warm in the coming months. This is certainly a jacket that you need to wear a couple of seasons to add some character to it. But if the French brand keeps its promises on quality, the jacket will only get nicer with time. Coming from the new Holiday 2011 Collection of A.P.C., it is now available for 950 Euros.

After having presented yesterday the collaboration by A.P.C. and Wolverine, we take a look at the newly released Desert Boots by the French brand for Holiday 2011.

The boots come in two premium leather versions, featuring matching leather laces and a nice Crepe outer sole. The texture of the leather, having a slightly used look, turned out very nice and makes these some of the better desert boots this season. They are now available for 310 Euros from A.P.C. stores and their online store.

Check out both colorways in detail after the jump.

Today A.P.C. launched a series of Vans Vault sneakers in their online store. Labeled as ‘A.P.C. + Vans’, these seem to be collaborative, yet we are a little surprised, because both Chukkas and the 106 LX aka Chukka Low, have been part in exactly these colors and versions of the last Vans Vault Spring/Summer 2011 Collection (the now old collection). Therefore we are not really sure if this should be labeled as a collaboration. The sneakers are now available here.

A further look follows after the jump.

Once the entire fashion industry was set on the ’simple & subtle’ trend, French brand A.P.C. was of course right in the middle of it, having been in that market already for many years. Their head designer Jean Touitou clearly understands that creating appealing simplicity is not easy and has become quite the expert at that particular look.

The footwear of the brand quite well demonstrates that again for Fall/Winter 2011. From solid looking derby boots, leather lace-ups to low top tennis sneakers, there are many appealing styles in the collection that will work with your everyday life.

Check out the rest of the footwear for the season here.

In line with the philosophy of the French label, the backpack has a very subtle overall appearance, while still being functional.

Take a further look at both colorways of the backpack after the jump.

The hugely popular collaboration between A.P.C and outerwear specialists K-Way returns for AW11 with this canvas version of the classic cagoule. The shape is the same as K-Way’s original design, but A.P.C have chosen a workwear inspired twill (in electric blue or dark navy) as opposed to the usual waterproof nylon.

In the latest Cool Hunting Video, they catch up with A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou. As usual he manages to make some strong statements that will for sure create discussion, but we have to be honest here – it is great having somebody in this business with character, something one unfortunately does not come across all that often.

“Am I Happy? Is that a question?”

Enjoy!
