Product - Visvim Bag

2011-07-25T10:43:00.000+01:00

Visvim Lamina 20L Kudu Backpack

This is among one of the finest back packs available on the market today, the quality in this Visvim backpack is second to none. Visvim use only the highest quality materials sourced from all over the world, The craftsmanship involved in making each Visvim product is just as extraordinary as the materials used. These efforts Visvim go to really show through in all of their products. I particularly like this bag as its colour way is timeless and will never fade out of fashion, it will most likely last you a very long time. These bags are now sold out everywhere, the only place they are available are from America on Ebay, expect to pay around £600 including shipping for one of these bags now.

This Visvim Backpack available on Ebay.com

CDM Play at Dover Street Market

This is brand I have really enjoyed wearing recently and think their ideas are fresh and stand out amongst a lot of other brands on the market today. I picked up the CDM Play t shirt shown above a few weeks ago and have been pleased with the t shirt overall, having a number of positive remarks regarding it. The t shirt is made from a premium cotton material which you can really feel when wearing, also the embodied detail looks great against the high quality print on the t shirt. This t shirt like a lot of CDM stuff is highly limited and is currently limited stock in most CDM retailers. It has been a great t shirt for the summer with its bold design and will continue to be worn throughout the remainder of summer.

Product - Tantum

2011-07-24T17:17:00.000+01:00

Tantum Hawaiian Pocket Tee

I have recently picked up one of these tees from endclothing, and am happy with the product overall. They are a very clean simple design with the detail on the pocket popping of the t shirt. This new and upcoming brand Tantum have seen recent growths in popularity and are becoming a hot topic. endclothing recently released their first batch of Tantum Tees this week and on Friday released a whole new batch of Tees and bucket hats after the success of the first batch, which sold out in days. When I received the t shirt the first thing I noticed is the quality of the material used, which is organic cotton, it is thick and heavy weight and gives a the t shirt a high end feel. A tip I would give to anyone looking at coping a Tantum Tee is to order the size below, the size you would normally pick up as they do run quite large.

FUTURESHORTS YouTube channel

Defiantly worth checking these guys out, if you have a bit of time on your hands and are interested in watching some short films. some of the films they display are very good, interesting, with clear morals sometimes including humour, but others can be a bit more complex with deep underlying morales incorporated into the story being told. It is interesting to see if you can understand the story being told and some of the morales they portray and show are actually very strong and can be good lessons for the viewer. Worth a bit of your time if your got nothing better to do, you could end up spending hours watching these films.

Product - Club masters

2011-07-23T19:47:00.002+01:00

Clubmasters at Mr.Porter

These are becoming a very popular style of sunglasses and after the huge success of the Ray-Ban Wayfarers could these be the next big design to take over the Wayfarers? I recently blogged about them here and commented on how they are a more contemporary style of sunglasses than the wayfarers, I predict the Clubmasters will see increasing popularity in the next year and beyond. They were recently featured in Mac Millers Best Day Ever video, many other celebrities can also be spotted wearing them at the moment, such as Beyonce. They are a uni-sex pair of sunglasses, in the same way the wayfarers where and they are also popular as they suit most face types, in the same way Wayfarers did. Look out for them in future, do you think they will replace the Wayfarers or are they just a substitute option for the Wayfarers?

Strictly Supreme is a forum for all fans of Supreme to gather and discuss the brand and its wide range of products. There are different categories on the website that people can post on, unsurprisingly most of them are about Supreme although there are some which are completely random!. These categories include; Off Topic - a place to talk about anything such as music, sport, movies or just about anything you want . The second category is the market place, this is where people can sell and buy Supreme products. This category is split into the different products that people are buying and selling such as hats, bags, jackets etc. It is a good place to look as you may find some Supreme products here that you wouldn't find on websites such as Hypebeast or ebay.There is so much to check out on this website, so give it a visit! Perhaps you might leave the site with a new supreme product, just be careful to check the reputation of the seller before buying as to avoid being scammed!

Brand - TISA

2011-07-21T23:19:00.002+01:00

TISA

Up and coming brand TISA have already seen recent success in the American market and have become popular amongst well known American hip hop artists and also have made it big in the street wear scene. They sell a lot of vintage clothing but debatably what they are most well know for is the way they customise the clothing that they sell. One example of this is their vintage snapbacks, were they stitch their logos on the side and back and sell it on. It gives an original twist to these hats that themselves are becoming ever more popular and turns them into something a bit more special. Look out for this brand in the foreseeable future as I think we will be seeing a lot more from TISA in the coming months.

Ambush at RSVP

Ambush is a Tokyo based brand which was established in 2002 and is co owned by Verbal and Yoon. They are inspired by the phrase 'Anything Goes' and are well known for producing crazy products that are really out there in terms of design. They specialize in making jewellry and their most renowned piece would have to be the "POW!" products, although they do also produce other items such as stylish hats and shoes.
They are a great brand for anyone who wants to stand out from the crowd and wear something different, but do be prepared to fork out a fair amount for these products as they don't run cheap.

Drink - Hennesy

2011-07-21T15:05:00.004+01:00

Hennessy

Hennesy is a Cognac which, is to brandy what champagne is to wine, it goes through a long process to reach different levels of Cognac. A bottle of Hennessy can range from anywhere around £20 all the way through to a £1000+ bottle of Richard Hennessy, the price is determined by the process the drink goes through before sale.

This drink is often referenced to in music and can be seen in music videos, Tupac famously rapped about Hennessy and artists such as Mac Miller refer to it in their music more recently. It is become popular among these musicians perhaps because of its smooth taste and also partially as it may be a way to splash the cash. It is also quite a nice drink to mix with other soft drinks such as Coke or Lemonade which can complement the drink quite well, though some Hennessy fans believe its to nice to be used as a mixer.

New MacBook Air

Today, 21st July, the new MacBook Air is released and will go on sale on Apples website sometime today. Along with the new MacBook Air comes along some pretty impressive specs, which boost its performance into a level of its own! It's going to be the 'fastest' MacBook Air to date as well as many other things. The MacBook Air used to be the perfect laptop choice for anyone who prioritised the weight and portability of their laptop over its performance and specs. But now you can get the best of both worlds with this new MacBook Air as it remains extremely light and easy to carry and now can perform as strongly or even better than the other Macbooks available.

I personally am waiting on the new version of the MacBook Pro to be released in approximately 6 months, as portability is slightly lower down my check list for a laptop than its performance. None the less, like most other Apple products this is an excellent addition to their MacBook range and will surely be a hit amongst the Apple community.

Product - Supreme Cap

2011-07-20T23:19:00.001+01:00

Supreme

Supreme a hugely popular and ever growing New York based brand have become very popular over the last couple of years. They produce excellent products that are often extremely limited and equally as good in their quality. Arguably their most iconic product is their wide range of hats and especially their snap back caps with box logo design.

These hats are owned by most street wear enthusiasts and can be spotted on the heads of street wear fans all over the world. They are easy to recognise with their bold box logo on the front of the hat. They have seen even more recent popularity perhaps influenced by Tyler The Creator, a member of OFWGKTA who's style is out their to say the least. With Tyler's recent success as an artist he has grown his fan base hugely. He can be seen sporting the Supreme cap from even his earlier material and i believe has popularised Supreme caps across his fan base.

It is easy to see why these hats are so popular and in such high demanded because of their simplistic concept which can sometimes be seen in the whackiest colour ways. These hats are also desired by street wear fans because of the effort some people have to go to before obtaining one of these hats. Whether that includes queuing in lines days before release to get the hat or paying up to 3x the RRP on sites such as Crashstreet.

Do you own a Supreme cap or would you like to? leave a comment and let me know.

Brand - Our Legacy

2011-07-20T13:09:00.002+01:00

Available at Oi Polloi

Available at endclothing

Our legacy are in a way very similar to the last brand featured on this blog, A.P.C. They create simplistic clothing such as block colour t-shirts and sweats using high quality materials and production techniques. This is true for most of Our legacys products, except their long sleeve shirts which can often be very bold and bright in design. These shirts look good combined with their more simpler sweaters and knitwear. My favourite piece from their recent collection would have to be their Versatile Wax Parka which will keep you warm and stylish as we are coming up to the cooler seasons.

The piece that stands out for me in this collection is the A.P.C x K-Way Windbreaker in navy, Its simple design using premium cotton twill makes for a very nice jacket that will last all year. Their jeans also look very nice as always and will also be a staple in any wardrobe for a while to come.
