Sale is a pop-up market and guerilla store, where small scale and individual designers can show and sell their work to the public.

It is a unique chance to buy exclusive and handmade pieces directly from the designers.

Sale#4 will be themed around Slowness: The times we live in are fast.

Fast food, media soundbytes, speedy information networks, rapid, global flows of goods and services, an over-saturated and ever-growing commercial landscape…… Daily life has become a cacophony of experiences that disable our senses, disconnect us from one another and damage the environment.

But deep experience of the world - meaningful and revealing relationships with the people, places and things we interact with - requires many speeds of engagement, and especially the slower ones.

Slowness’ is a holistic approach to creative thinking, process and outcomes. It envisions positive human and environmental impacts of designed products, environments and systems, while constructively critiquing the processes and technologies of which they are born.

It celebrates local, close-mesh networks of people and industry, it preserves and draws upon our cultural diversity, and it relies on the open sharing of ideas and information to arrive at innovative solutions to contemporary challenges.

Slowness is not time-based. It doesn’t refer to how long it takes to make or do something, but rather describes the individual’s elevated state of awareness in the process of creation, the quality of its tangible outcomes and a richer experience for the community it engages.

Tons of new gear dropping at Karmaloop this week!

It’s august and that means new fall collections to get excited about – sunglasses from Crooks, fitteds from Supra, BBP gear, and tons more including new gear for the ladies from Tripp and Office Tramp.

What do tiny almond buttered pastries, delicate antique French lace, rosy cheeked little girls and sterling silver butcher knives all have in common?

They all play a dangerous and sinister part in LOCHER‘S new jewelry collection. Hearts will flutter and jaws will drop.

Chris, LOCHER :

“One of our favorites is a necklace with a bezel wrapped with real antique French lace bows with the phrase “Tell Me You Love Me“, with a solid silver butcher knife to delicately hint at how bloody serious this message is.

Also, one not to miss is the “Not All Sugar and Spice” necklace. Featuring a rosy cheeked little girl with the phrase “Pure Evil“.

Trust me, one look at this necklace and your blood will run cold.

If you were once a baby, then you probably had a daddy. So maybe you should spoil that babydaddy with some hot gear from Karmaloop.

Dad’s pretend they don’t care what you get them. But this year put away the macaroni necklace and dig on these watches and sunglasses.

For something affordable, you can get your daddy some wayfarers like the Muska Shades Sunglasses By KR3W for only 26 bux or spoil your Dad like nobody’s biz with a $330 pair of MHI Sunglasses by Mosley Tribes.

I bet your dad remembers his awesome record collection (I know mine does) so he might dig this 33 rpm Flud watch for 60 or you can hook him up with the All Gold and White Time Teller Watch for Nixon at $94 !
