Pickleball fans are in for a treat as The Botanist and Prince launch a vibrant new collection inspired by ’90s style.<\/p>\n

A courtside collaboration is shaking up the pickleball scene as The Botanist, The Official Gin of Pickleball<\/a>, teams up with Prince<\/a>, the icon of the court, for a vibrant new partnership.

This exclusive drop features a custom tote, paddle, and balls, all decked out in a bold, ’90s-inspired design\u2014just in time for National Pickleball Month this April.<\/p>\n

‘Dink & Sip’: Where Retro Style Meets Modern Play<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The “Dink & Sip” collection<\/a> is a celebration of iconic ’90s sportswear style with a modern twist. The design takes bold geometric patterns, vibrant colors, and layered textures and infuses them with the energy of pickleball alongside the essence of The Botanist’s 22 botanicals and signature martini cocktail. The dynamic look and feel draws inspiration from the vivid prints and colorways that defined ’90s fashion on the court and still influence it today.<\/p>\n
