Timberland is a brand that has been rooted in culture and the local community since its launch in 1973. Timberland prides itself on its love for the great outdoors, it has also connected with a slew of community-driven brands both on a global level and through a grassroots perspective. For the former, Timberland has connected with the likes of Supreme, thisisneverthat, and Aimé Leon Dore in recent times — and for the latter, Timberland has most recently linked up with Paris-based Pablo T-Shirt Factory for a collaboration that highlights top-quality craftsmanship and creativity.
Pablo T-Shirt Factory was launched in 2021 by Pablo, a designer who started working in the creative industry as a model and was quickly recognized for his style and self-expression. During the earliest phases of his career as a designer, Pablo spent time in West Africa, where he got to grips with the techniques he learned from local artisans. Pablo would then post his T-shirt and apparel designs on social media, which eventually led to the opening of his Paris-based factory that specializes in garment printing, blanks, design, and more.
For the first time ever, during Paris Fashion Week FW25, Pablo T-Shirt Factory opened its doors to the public for its collaboration with Timberland. The event featured a hands-on workshop, where guests were able to customize Timberland’s classic six-inch boots with Pablo and his co-founder, Clement. Attendees curated one-of-one Timberland designs during the event, including the option to add studs to their boots, too.

A cocktail party by Kolam Paris followed, where attendees personalized Timberland x PTSF T-shirts — and they featured a custom logo for the event, blending both brands’ commitment to future-facing style, originality, and their shared love for deep-rooted community.
