As part of a lifestyle project by Hong kong artist Juno Mak, this Chapel of Dawn tote bags will mark his official debut into clothing and accessories, come November 24th. The totes feature different inspirations, and have two design prints; one on each side. On one side is a print of the ‘Wrestling Elves,’ designed by James Jarvis, while the other has a canvas Chapel of Dawn patch. The totes were produced in collaboration with Fragment Design.

The totes are available in three different sizes; and incorporate several design features like: an interior zipped pouch, and button snaps for extending/reducing the size of the bag. Only select stores will carry products from the Chapel of Dawn collection. Among them is SiLLY THING (Hong Kong), supply (Sydney), someday (Melbourne), colette (Paris)…….For now I do know of any store in the U.S that carries that line. Prices for the totes range from $41.00 - $80.00

Chapel of Dawn t-shirts will also be unleashed on November 24th, and they feature inspirations from Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses, more on the tees here>> Also hypebeast did an interview with Juno Read

Summertime is picnic time, but one of the challenges is keeping drinks cool and safe. Spice Girl (evidently a new superheroine, at least in our book) has got us — and our bottled beverages — covered with this plush, thermal 6-pack tote suitable for porting to parks, on boats, wherever fun is had. Beverages not included.
