With the rise of online shopping and fast fashion, it’s easy to forget the excitement of receiving a handwritten letter or package in the mail. But for those who still appreciate the art of snail mail, merch collections have become a popular way to add some personality to everyday items. And with fans wanting more from their favorite artists than just music, many are turning to merchandise as a way to show their support and connect with them on a deeper level.
One such collection that has caught the attention of fans and collectors alike is “Return to Sender” by indie-pop band The Neighbourhood. Released on December 6th, 2019, this limited edition collection features an exclusive collaboration between The Neighbourhood and LA-based artist Spencer Simmons.
What makes this collection unique is its unconventional approach – Simmons designed each piece with his own interpretation of The Neighbourhood’s music. From lyrics hidden within intricate designs, to bold graphics that play off the band’s album covers, each item tells its own story while staying true to the group’s aesthetic.
The Return to Sender collection includes items such as t-shirts, hats, hoodies, enamel pins, posters and even skateboards – all featuring Simmons’ original artwork inspired by lyrics from Elvis store The Neighbourhood’s hit songs like “R.I.P 2 My Youth,” “Flowers” and “Sadderdaze.” This thoughtful collaboration speaks volumes about how much loyalty means not only to fans but also between creatives.
For those unfamiliar with this cult-classic band that rose through indie success back in 2013 when “Sweater Weather” blasted through mainstream radios worldwide or don’t know much about Spencer Simmons’ career (both were actively photographed working together), what makes Return To Sender so special lies not only in its uncanny connection but also because people find themselves reminiscing certain memories through custom-designed pieces they’ve been surprisingly encountering every day since launch day (such as phone backgrounds).
This collection is not just a celebration of music and art, but also a way to bring people together through shared memories and experiences. The Neighbourhood’s lead singer Jesse Rutherford captures this sentiment perfectly, saying “being able to create something visual and tangible from our music is such an important part of what we do.
And it’s not just fans who are drawn to this collection – celebrities like Halsey, Tyler the Creator and Joe Jonas have been spotted wearing pieces from Return to Sender. With its limited edition status, each piece becomes a collector’s item that adds value beyond its price tag.
So whether you’re a die-hard fan or simply someone looking for unique pieces that capture the essence of indie creativity, the Return to Sender merch collection is one worth diving into. Its nostalgic appeal combined with artistic design makes it more than just a typical merch drop – it’s an immersive experience that brings music and art together in a way that feels personal and special. As The Neighbourhood would say, “It feels like I only go backwards babe.” Dive in before they all head back home where they belong – sold out/sold out or your mailbox.
The only thing left now is we leave an open-ended statement so readers don’t feel too full-hearted; leaving them hungry for more in case there were any doubts… Is there ever really gonna come down?
