Release the Bats

Release the Bats 

Shadows are stirring at Harveys… 🦇 Something new is about to take flight. Our upcoming Release the Bats collection is creeping closer, and while the bags aren’t ready to spread their wings just yet, we couldn’t resist sharing some of the inspiration, vibes, and spooky fun leading up to launch.

Want to see what’s been haunting our mood boards? Take a peek at our Pinterest inspiration board for a taste of what’s to come.

Dark & Dreamy Inspirations

When we set out to design Release the Bats, we pulled from a rich tapestry of gothic muses, a little spooky, a little campy, and entirely romantic. Think the campy dramatic flair of Elvira, the eerie elegance of Silver Era spooky cinema, the shadowy Victorian and Romantic worlds of Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, and the punky edge of 80’s goth and new wave.

We also found ourselves charmed by the quirky, inky works of artists like Edward Gorey, whose work quietly shaped much of the spooky aesthetic of artists we love like Tim Burton.

Want more? Our Pinterest Board is filled with the images, films, and art that guided us through this collection.

Curated Vibes: The Release the Bats Playlist

Every collection needs a soundtrack. We pulled together a playlist of spooky classics, goth favorites, and moody tracks to set the tone for October nights.

Head on over to our Spotify to press play while you’re carving pumpkins, heading out for a night at the theater, or accessorizing your look with your new bat bag (soon).
