First we got Burger King teaming up with Dragon Ball. Then McDonald’s went ahead with a SpongeBob collab. And don’t forget the Owala and Pokémon bottles that sold out almost immediately. This is a golden age of viral brand mashups, and there’s more to come.
Just when you thought these viral collabs might have peaked, two New England powerhouses have joined forces to claim fall. The L.L.Bean Boat and Tote is already a staple for prep-meets-streetwear enthusiasts, but adding Dunkin’s iconic hot pink and orange colorway guarantees these will be all over TikTok and secondary resale sites before lunch on launch day.

The collab is anchored by two legitimate heritage staples: L.L.Bean’s classic Birdseye Crewneck Sweater (reimagined with a subtle Dunkin’ pattern twist) and their indestructible Canvas Boat and Tote. Plus, if you can’t wait until Sept. 29 for the full merch drop, Dunkin’ stores are handing out incredibly cute knit Birdseye Sweater Cup Sleeves with any coffee order on Tuesday, Sept. 22 (the first day of fall).
