We’re all ears for this exciting collaboration. LOVE BRAND & Co., the acclaimed luxury swim and resort wear label has returned as the official retail partner for the awe-inspiring travelling art installation, The Great Elephant Migration (GEM).
Hold onto your trunks. Featuring 100 life-sized, hand-crafted elephant sculptures, this unique travelling exhibition is part of a global fundraising initiative dedicated to wildlife conservation and habitat protection – inspiring the human race to share space and spotlight the urgent need for human-wildlife coexistence. Delivered by Elephant Family USA, the first stop in the USA for 2025 is Houston, Texas – yeehaw.
With not everyone able to take an elephant home (as the elephants are for sale), the exclusive capsule collection by LOVE BRAND & Co. offers visitors a way to remember the exhibition and support the cause with a range of designer merchandise.
As part of the continued tour, LOVE BRAND & Co. will offer an exclusive capsule collection of merchandise, available both online and at the exhibition’s Elephant Shop at each location. 50% of all proceeds from the collection will be donated to Elephant Family USA, the world’s leading supporter of Asian elephants. In Houston, visitors will have the opportunity to browse the collection at LOVE BRAND & Co.’s Elephant Shop, housed in the stunning Indian tent beside the herd, welcoming guests daily from 9 AM – 6 PM.
Following its successful 2024 exhibitions in Newport, Rhode Island ($76,700 raised by retail proceeds), New York City ($49,805 raised by retail proceeds), and Miami, Florida ($13,659 raised by retail proceeds), the migration will continue to Houston, Texas from March 24 – April 28, 2025. The herd will be displayed at Hermann Park’s The Commons, a newly renovated, community-focused area.
“Not everyone can take home an elephant sculpture, but with our capsule collection, visitors can carry a piece of this remarkable experience with them while directly supporting conservation efforts,” said Oliver Tomalin, Founder and Creative Director of LOVE BRAND & Co.
