Agenda Trade Show San Diego
Bastard & Friends just arrived back in the Bay Area from yet another long, but short trip down to sunny San Diego, CA. for the Agenda Trade Show that was held Sep.4th - 6th. For some of you who are unaware of what this show is about, essentially it's an event for the streetwear and action sports industries to unite all under one roof. This forum blends together well-established and elite brands such as: Stussy, Tokidoki, Alife, Crooks & Castles, The Hundreds, 10.Deep, Freshjive, Married to the Mob as well as your up-and-coming lines looking to explode in the marketplace. Further, right down the street was the ASR Tradeshow. This show also hosted an abundance of heavy weight exhibitors: DC, Hurley, NewEra, and Quiksilver were amongst the attendance. Kevin our rep from Flat Fitty Headwear, Tien (owner of Flat Fitty), and Jim took some time with us to talk about upcoming hat designs as well as other things revolving around the apparel/headwear industry. As an added benefit to the conversation, they displayed some crazy hat designs that were applied to various types of hats. All I have to say is watch out for these dudes! These guys are the underdogs and really got things figured out! Fully customized quality hats from all angles along with low minimums and low pricing will not only aid lines such as BnF, but will also boast their company to new heights.
And, as always every trip we take down to So. Cal, we always make it a habit to hangout at Downtown Disney, Melrose as well as Sprinkles Cupcakes in Beverly Hills. Since Derek has never been to Sprinkles, we took the opportunity to satisfy his sweet tooth with a few 'Red Velvet' cupcakes. While waiting in the long line that covers a segment of Santa Monica Blvd., we took it upon ourselves to entertain a few people that were curious about what Bastard & Friends was all about. How could we be missed? We were all basically wearing the same company gear from head-to-toe. After some talk and a display of our infamous baseball collector cards, they were very interested and got a kick out of the line. I promised I'd give a shout out to a few of them (Alexis from Virginia in LA for business as well as Nadia).
Check out some of the photos from our trip:
