I can imagine the conversation before the photo shoot... "Were gonna need to toughen this thing up a little. The tag just isn't enough." "Here. We'll throw some smokes in there so it looks less like my wife's coin purse."
wow, this is a perfect little carrying case for my x large condoms.. sasha grey is gonna freak the fuck out the next time I roll up on set with one of these bad boys..
just so you don't have to bother messing around with all those silly balloons what's your address so I can ship you a box that are already filled..
Seriously! But then people bought up those recent plush Bounty Hunter teddy bears too. There are some people/brands who seem to get a pass. These people (ie. KAWS) can make ashtrays, doormats etc. and retain their "street cred".
wtf is street cred? all this slack-jawed product says is "look at me and all the emasculating things i can fit in here like my twilight books, kr zipp er pulls and the entire saddle creek catalog...
Why? Saddle Creek = so true! Best crack on a product I've read this morning; although it's still early...
As far as I can tell BxH has always been a lifestyle brand first and a toy company second. I don't think we need to freak out every time they release a crappy $400 jacket or useless accessory as long as the toys are still fun. That said I do kind of like this pouch.
I think street cred goes out the window as soon as you sell t-shirts for over 40$... let alone triple that price.
Kids are lining up to watch Star Wars or go to Linkin Park concerts. It doesn't give them street cred. I never understood what was "punk" about BxH (or OriginalFake for that matter). Punks don't wear overpriced brands, whatever Hikaru may say... There's a reason why OF's neighbors in Tokyo are Prada, Louis Vuitton and BAPE...
