Huntington Beach!


Southern California has the most beautiful weather almost all year round, even when is not so sunny is still beautiful compared to other places throughout the country. Since I had been wanted to go out and experiment some long exposure shots and the weather couldn't be better, I took the time to go out and snap a few shots around Huntington Beach, and what you see below is the result of my day at the beach.  


Beautiful day to be out in the sun in Huntington Beach!














The highlight of the day was towards the end of the day, no to brag about it but I think I ended up with some great images, I'm very proud of what the out come was after being around the pier for more than couple hours, it took me some time to get the right settings dialed in to capture the images I had in mind,  a few of these images will be printed onto large prints and will be showcased at one of our locations within the next few weeks.

The Leverage Agency

Since we were in the LA/OC area we couldn't pass the opportunity to finally check out the Leverage Agency's new office. The Leverage Agency is founded by two of the most solid and dope guys we know and have the honor to work with, it's always exciting to work with individuals we can connect and share similar interest with. Lee and Chris founded the Leverage Agency a while back, the Agency houses brands like I'm King, Rustic Dime, Silence Gold Denim, Mishka and Flud watches just to mention a few, all on point nonetheless. We had been home a few times and always missed paying a visit to the office but this time we made it our business and priority to come and check out the new spot located in the heart of Santa Ana, CA. We can say we got nothing but love while there and we're really thankful for that, we also made a trip down the road to see I'm King's new office (raincheck on images) and met some new faces we will be working with in the short future. 


"The Leverage Agency " hit on the wall to make it official like "Death Row Records" 



Campbell's Soups 


I'm King will be delivering MAD HEAT on upcoming seasons, they have made some changes to the tee shirt bodies and have stepped their game up on cut-n-sew, don't be surprised when you show up to the store and see all this FLY garments on the shelves, but for now you need to check out the spring collection arriving any day now, images will be on the blog once collection hits the store. 


Mishka coming soon to the extended PRESTIGE family!



Flud Watches! 



Some of these will be in store soon.



Rastaclat display unit on the way, also a big delivery of Rastaclats will be in store next week, be sure to not sleep on them as there are styles coming in and won't last long. 


Rustic Dime, one of my favorite denims on the market, I enjoy the way the denims fit, super comfortable, AWESOME price point and best of all, they're made in the USA!! 




Huge shout out to the entire Leverage Agency, the homie Lee and Chris, much love and nothing but the best of luck on all your endeavors, looking forward to continue to work with you both!

The Hundreds is Huge!

Few weeks back we paid a visit to the world famous The Hundreds  new home and headquarters, one of our favorite brands/labels no questions asked.  If you follow their blog you may already know they moved into a new building few months ago and that the building is MASSIVE!! We had the opportunity to see the previous office and let me tell you, the new office is on point, they put a lot of thought and work on every little detail around the office and creativity is what has made The Hundreds the unique brand they are today!  

When you enter the premises you first find an amazing piece of art that welcomes you to the building,  the creativity and idea of this mural is insane! If you you don't know the story behind the mural you can find out more about it here




The Hundreds on the wall makes it Super Official!


There's a few images of the around the office of the early days of Bobby and Ben! 


A few of the early designs posted on the wall! 






Bill Hundreds, more about it here




After seeing some of the great things inside the office it was time to go out to the warehouse and see how ideas and designs are made into live pieces, the hard work, dedication and care is put onto every print that comes out of the press. I've been to other vendors warehouses on tour but The Hundreds blew has a lot of unique features you don't see very often.  

You may have seen the mini skate ramp in one of the many blog posts on The Hundreds Site. 





We had the opportunity to see some of the things involved in the current Summer line that's about to ship within the next few days and that will be available here be sure to stay tuned !  




Making Uuunits!!!!







We're humble to say we're blessed to be part of such great industry and to constantly cross paths with some of the most amazing people in the game that fought the odds and made something out of their passion and what they loved to do most. We couldn't be more thankful with God for giving us the opportunity to continue to grow and constantly learn from such amazing individuals and game changers.
