NOTTINGHAM, PA — In a move that celebrates the rich cultural tapestry of Philadelphia, Herr’s Inc., the revered snack brand deeply embedded in Philadelphia’s heritage, has launched a limited edition merchandise line titled ‘Fits by Philly: Threads from Philly’s Finest’. This initiative, in collaboration with local artists and small business owners South Fellini and Dirty Hands Studio, highlights Herr’s commitment to supporting the local entrepreneurial and artistic scene that pulsates through the city.
Bob Clark, VP of Marketing at Herr’s, emphasized the company’s dedication to fostering Philadelphia’s creative ecosystem. “This collaboration is a testament to our ongoing support for the local business community and the immense artistic talent within our city,” Clark stated. The new line of merchandise, part of Herr’s broader effort to celebrate and promote Philadelphia’s diversity through its Flavored by Philly initiative, showcases the city’s entrepreneurial spirit and vibrant arts scene.
Available exclusively for a limited time, the collection features designs centered around iconic Philadelphia symbols, including a playful take on Brotherly Love with the “Brotherly Spud” design. These pieces are not just fashion statements but embodiments of Philadelphia’s dynamic culture and heritage. The merchandise will be available for purchase on Herr’s website and at the South Fellini store starting April 24th, 2024, until supplies last.
Johnny Zito of South Fellini shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration, reminiscing about the joy Herr’s snacks brought to his childhood. “It’s inspiring to see Herr’s extend its support to local artists and businesses like ours,” Zito remarked. This sentiment was echoed by Tim Gough of Dirty Hands Studio, who expressed excitement over the opportunity to collaborate with such an iconic brand and contribute to Philadelphia’s cultural narrative.
