Dinner Service × Van Leeuwen: Made from the Good Stuff

If Van Leeuwen has taught us anything since their yellow truck first rolled into Brooklyn in 2008, it’s this: happiness is healthiness. Not the kind you count or measure, but the kind you feel. The kind that is quickly shared with a friend before it drips down your hand or melts on a summer sidewalk. Good ingredients. Simple craft. Good life. 

That’s a mission we can get behind. At Dinner Service, we’ve always believed the best things in life are built from intention. The kind that lasts longer than a trend, that feels better the more you live with it. Clothing that belongs to memory, the way ice cream belongs to a hot July evening. So when we came together with Van Leeuwen, we set out to create a pair of garments that carry the same spirit as a double scoop: simple, crafted, and full of joy.

The Van Leeuwen collection includes a retro-style ringer tee with an easy fit and bold back print featuring their best-selling flavors, along with a vintage-inspired rugby shirt detailed with custom sewn-on patches across a two-toned woven silhouette that balances heritage and play. Both pieces are planet-safe, and built to be lived in.

Just as Van Leeuwen goes to the ends of the earth (literally) for the right ingredients, we searched for the right fabrics and trims. Just as they keep their recipes simple, we kept these garments intentional. That’s the good way. The Van Leeuwen way. The Dinner Service way. Happiness doesn’t need explaining. It’s a taste, a texture, a memory stitched into what you wear and what you share. Two garments, one collaboration, and a reminder: life’s best when it’s made with the good stuff.
