Melbourne
So you’re a city dweller on the go. And a coffee fiend. And a tree-hugger. You can’t do without your daily brew (or two… or three…), but you hate seeing to-go cups piling up in the recycling bin. What you need is a KeepCup – the nifty, reusable coffee cup from Melbourne, Australia.
Rather quirky and a whole lot indie, the selection of clothing over at Perks and Mini’s online boutique Someday Store is a upbeat trendsetter’s wonderland. Founders (and lovebirds!) Misha Hollenbach and Shauna Toohey have carefully curated their catalog to include pieces from Bernhard Willhelm, Billionaire Boys Club & Ice Cream, Domestique, Headporter (more on this amazing label coming soon!), Medicom Toy, Neighborhood, Original Fake, Rough Pista, and, of course, plenty of stuff from Someday Store’s founding label PAM and sister label Pambook. We’ve picked out some of our favorites here (yay! Smurfs! yay! Barry McGee! yay! upside down type on canvas bag!)…
X Collective, another lovely artist tee outfit, has a well-curated selection of pen & ink-ish illustrations by some top-notch creative minds. The site’s shop currently features work by Yokoland, Ana Benaroya, Blake E Marquis, Mike Perry, Incu Presents, Jim Stoten, Jeremyville, Jim Datz, Rinzen, and Luke Ramsey. These duds are made in limited edition bunches, hand numbered, and shipped gratis anywhere in the world! And for any creatives reading this, they’re always looking for talent…
Just in case you think Poketo is still solely in the business of making radical limited edition art-covered wallets, this post is for you. They make other stuff. Lots of cool i-want-it other stuff, like, kawaii up the whazoo (more on that right after this, pinky swear…)! For now, lets talk shirts. $28 a pop, kids sizes are $22, and sale tees run approx. $10. The designs are by artists the world across (Tokyo, Melbourne, Buenos Aires, Moscow, Seoul…) with several bios on the site to peruse as well. Here are more of my favorites:
