Off the heels of their Intermix for Good Tour, today Intermix announced the launch of their cotton collection with Cotton Incorporated. The curated edit features a chic mix of vacation silhouettes, each crafted from fashion's most versatile natural fabric.

This curated cotton capsule mixes foundational and fun styles that will not only meet the needs for upcoming plans, whether it’s a honeymoon or beach vacation, but also make you feel good by getting dressed for a cause.”

“We are all ready to venture out and connect more with family, friends and celebrate life moments,” notes Marissa Barlin, director of brand partnerships for Cotton Incorporated. “Intermix’s cotton collection taps into what shoppers are seeking now – versatile styles for all occasions showcasing cotton’s natural comfort and sustainable quality, which means keeping the vacation vibes and memories going even after you return and wear them again, and again.”
