I give my clothing a story. I create a purpose for it.” I know this bro. That still doesn't make it hot. Still looks wack to me. Like I said the quality of the pieces themselves look great. I just don't like that logo, he needed a better representation of the fallen statue.

I give my clothing a story. I create a purpose for it." And chances are the prices will drop when the line drops in America, probably not much, but I imagine enough to compete with lines like Rich Yung and Evisu and wat not.

Or at least work on your artistic skills. Not trying to hate but just because you are Lupe doesn't mean you are a designer. Looks very amateurish, which could have been his intent, but knowing your history in apparel from his interviews, it displays the skills of a new designer (logo wise). The clothes and pieces themselves look very good as far as craftsmanship. But the doodled chipped Caesar (illustrator made) insignia is not a good look.

The whole process of making the jeans in japan isn't cheap what so ever. Those jeans are probably set you back a good 500-600$ because of the quality denim or cotton + on top of that there probably going to Selvage jeans witch have to hand stiched. Quality Over Quantity is what he's seeing as the brand. But knowing Lupe the bag isn't cow leather and is very High quality and the Gold accents are probably real good too. just my idea.

Even tho it might not be worth it. Same with for example Christian Audigier.. You pay for the "exclusive" brand, not the actual product. (I bet you can find someone in NY that can make you a custom leather bag for less then $1000. Supply and Demand.. Make 100 items, lets say 10,000 persons are interested, surely the 100 items will be sold to the highest paying persons. As long people are stupid enough to pay $1000 for a bag, its gonna cost $1000.
