These adFunture-designed-&-produced figures will hit the G-Shock stores nation wide in China on July 1st.

VEIL released its VEIL Angry Skull Ring this week. Designed with our friend VOLT out in Taiwan, and handmade by VOLT, this .925 silver ring is only the begining of our long term program with VOLT. Only 25 pieces produced this season, the plan is to only produced that many per season to come. While we hate to use the term “limited edition”, these are still quite limited. Only 50 people can get their hands on the Angry Skull per 12 months.

This item is sold exclusively through VEIL Taipei Store and online store in PRC.
Expect to see more items from this collaboration line soon.

adFunture will be back in Taipei for another exhibition next weekend. It has been some time since “adFunture Taipei 2006″, and a solo exhibit feels very different than those toy conventions like the beloved Taipei Toy Fest. After 5 years since the last solo, this time around we rounded up our friends from the Taiwan streetwear scene, and put together the “YOKA Taiwan Series”. A series that involved 12 clothing labels, and each designed their own variant of our YOKA panda. This series will be available at the opening event of our exhibition. Besides this new series, visitors to the exhibit, titled “We are One Human Race”, will also see something big and related to the title. Go see for yourself!

For 2011 Spring & Summer Collection, VEIL worked with NEW ERA on its headwear items. Based on NEW ERA’s 59Fify model, VEIL applied its classic yellow Leopardo motifs on the under-visor, added some juice on this black based baseball cap. This item will drop at VEIL Taipei Store this month.

This week in Hong Kong, EastPak company will release a 3-colorway pack of its branded adFunture YOKAs figures. This collaboration was to tie-in EastPak’s new series of its iconic backpacks. Expect to see our YOKAs in EastPak stores if you are in HK. Exclusive to EastPak, we won’t have any to offer to our designer toy boutiques, so if you see them, grab them quickly!

The recent earthquakes in Japan have left many people homeless and families ruined. This is a dark time for humans, no matter which country you are from, this is not a Japan problem, but a humanity crisis. Is time like this we all need to join hands and help those in need. No one is an outsider in this matter.

A charity project started by Japanese design team DEVILROBOTS, “Help Japan” T-Shirt is now a 20-brands collaboration effort to raise funds to help the folks in need in JP after the earthquake. Hong Kong brand VEIL, along with fellow street labels such as Remix, Overkill, Mania, SMG, Phantaci are just some of the entities supporting this great cause.

This charity sale will go on in Taiwan. Support it if you have that opportunity. If not, pls find other ways to donate to Japan Red Cross.

Just random products I like recently.

G-Shock FROGMAN. Professional divers love this model. I just love its shape and color~

Boots by our friend Jose in Taipei. His streetwear brand B-Side works with Bridge Footwear recently on this exclusive model. Pretty cool.


OVERKILL Inc, button-down shirt. Can’t go wrong with a good skull. OVK’s quality is always above par as well.


Speaking of Taipei brands, REMIX TAIPEI worked with NEW ERA again this season on a few designs of 59Fifty. Black on black is always gold, I wear this alot this month, alot~ I’m now waiting for our shipment of New Era, quite excited about getting ours done up.


Nike Dunk Denim Pack. Just simply good looks. I’m a Dunk guy.


BAPE x New Era. I rarely buy BAPE, but I like wearing 59Fifty, and this seems like a classic design, I gave in. There was alot of talk about the new ownership of BAPE. While I’m no expert in terms of finance, I do believe that a publicly traded company won’t buy out a losing company for no good reasons or good planning. We’ll just have to wait and see how I.T plays this hand. Looking forward to it though.


Kick things up a notch, let’s go luxury with this Bottega Venta woven bangle. I’m a sucka for woven-look designs, (Nike Woven Chukka included), I like this bangle alot, the quality is there, so is the price, of course. Like I said, I’m a sucka…..

Continuing on our work with VEIL, we have started releasing items from our S/S 2011 line. We started the season off with a short series of sweatshirts and pull-over hoodies, these are great day-to-day items to have during these overlapping weathers. Titled “Cheerful Tribe”, the graphic pattern will reappear throughout this season.

I personally love the grey fabric we used. The crew wore this colorway the most ever since we got our samples, the material is quite nice. This series will drop in our VEIL Taipei Store tomorrow. Enjoy.

Got myself a new G-Shock. A classic model, DW-6900, but just love the black case with red face combo. We sell a lot of different colorways of G-Shock in our store, but personally I always pick up a black one. Call me old fashion.

I just now realized I never did put up photos of the VEIL Taipei Store we opened last month! I was swamped with work from different projects and I forgot what I didn’t blogged about and what I didn’t…. 2010 was my first year running the apparel brand full-time, and we had alot to learn. After having the Hong Kong location opened back in March of 2010, the Taipei Store was a bit easier in terms of “planning ahead”. The Taipei Store is location on Kun-Ming Street in Ximen District of Taipei. We are neighbors to great brands such as Overkill, B-Side, Mania and Remix Taipei. They are very kind to us along the way, it is a good community to be in. I’ll just put up a few images, and I speak less.

If you ever visit Taipei, please swing by our VEIL Store.
