The inspiration behind this line was to create a collection that would tap into the intriguing world of graffiti art.

The licenses are derived from an array of artists that blend graffiti writing and graphic art; a creative medium that is still widely untapped.

The collection incorporates an element of contemporary street wear design with a rock n’ roll edge that appeals to a man looking to wear something that is a true expression of art.

FILTH, the designer of these two tees, also known as Lucas Irwin, is a Brooklyn based artist & graphic designer who incorporates his unique creative visions onto everything from toys and magazines to corporate identity and packaging for consumer products. He taps the zeitgeist of popular design and culture, reinventing it through his own expressive typographic and mechanically driven aesthetic. Currently Lucas works at Thunderdog Studios where he makes toys and other fun stuff.

These tees retail for $38

One of my favorite bags is the Lil’ Buddy and this guy is not only a great size to carry drinks to the beach (and keep em cold) it doubles as a jam box.

There is also the Zoom Pack designed for the traveling photographer in mind. It’s created so you can bundle all your photo needs and take it to the hills, the slopes, or the beach. It has padded laptop compartments, removable heater pocket for extended battery life and even a stash pocket for your 40 (plus a lot more).

Finally there is the Wheelie Cargo. Equipped with skateboard wheels, it can follow you anywhere and is a perfect travel companion. It’s got a place to hide your travel docs, TSA approved locks, shoe storage, and tons of extras.

There is a new summer collection, from the awesome, La Carrera and even some new Gabrielle Urist just in time to celebrate the Celtics in the NBA finals :

La Carrera’s Summer collection has just arrived at Karmaloop.

La Carrera has teamed up with some heavy hitters for this collection. From Yokohama Japan’s Lafayette to Russ Karablin’s SSUR, and Will Eddins & Tommy Campos’ Done Deal, La Carrera’s got all the bases covered.

Aside from their creative collaborations, La Carrera puts a female-spin on last season’s Royal Mensajero with the Reina Mensajera.

It’s been a long 22 years since the Boston Celtics have last won an NBA Championship, but with the historic advent of the new “Big Three” of Garnett, Pierce, and Allen – the C’s are back in the Finals and against their archrival LA Lakers.

To commemorate their success, Gabriel Urist has teamed up with the NBA to create official Boston Celtics jewelry.

It was more than a natural fit for Boston-based Karmaloop to carry these exclusive pieces which will be available online as well as on their 160 Newbury S. location.
