From New Zealand all the way to New York City! 🥝🍎
Arrived in the big apple with a couple of suitcases full of jackets, a loose plan, and no idea what New York would make of them.
charlesallblue was the first to find out.
Charles is 73 and a fixture of the SoHo streetwear scene. He’s been showing up to the drops, the openings and the pop ups for decades. About ten years ago the internet found him and he’s been the guy people go to for the story behind a brand ever since.
We crossed paths at Alfargo’s Marketplace , I told him the story, and he decided to show me around SoHo and put me in front of the right people. He made a big difference and really helped me out.
Here he is in the Piha Black Heritage Jacket, the Oscar Eide polo and a few of the caps. All made in New Zealand.
Big thanks Charles. See you next time.
