Last weekend I was camping at Lowlands festival, but here’s a recap from the start of our minitour across the country to launch our new AW09 ‘This&That Ontour’ collection, from the weekend before.

First stop at Dings on fridays:

Second stop at Re-Issue on saturdays:

The tourmanager likes to thanks everybody who helped us organise the first 2 stops, with special thanks to Vedett, Southern Comfort, Y’skid and ofcourse the crews of Dings and Re-Issue. Some more shots here, here here and here

Getting ready for the next stops in Rotterdam, Haarlem and Amsterdam.

‘This and That Ontour’
You’re cordially invited to the launch of our new autumn / winter collection ‘This and That Ontour’ during a minitour across the country. The first 2 stops upcoming weekend will be Eindhoven and Tilburg, where we’ll present our collection at Dings and Re-Issue.
Southern Comfort and Vedett will serve the drinks, Y’sKid will serve the beats and we’ll serve the goods!

Hope to see you there for the release of our biggest collection so far!
More info about the next stops will follow later.

Last weekend we brought a little extra sunshine to Solar festival…

The boys from Dings showed they have some experience in building a pop up shop from scratch in one and a half hours under enormous pressure:

Already some copycats the first day! Nice One Biki

Nobody Beats the Drum:

Maybe you remember this post? Posted in december last year…man, time flies. But now finally, release date is getting closer! We showed parts of this collab with our dearest Ben-G Boys at the January Bread and Butter Barcelona show, where I was showing off the killer tee.

A while ago both Benny and I were in shock after seeing Hixsept dropping a very similar design. Damn! But hey, we kept it ying and yang and are in balance again. Our pack will drop in a couple of weeks (exact release date soon), together with our new Autumn Winter collection. We’re organising a ‘minitour’ across the country to do some intore events and it will end with a BANG at BenG’s! Here some more sneak previews of our colab…and hopefully The Beesmunt will also add their part to this release. Hurry Up!

I can’t wait. More info soon.

In one of my previous posts I mentioned we started with a couple of new distribution partners. We’re very happy that Denmarks finest California Sports took Ontour on board. In a couple of days the Copenhagen fashionweek kicks off in the cold north and they will be showing our new SS10 collection in a private showroom, together with Stussy, Clae, Huf and DC. When you’re around, have a look.

Looking forward to finally go ontour in Scandinavia!

I already posted about Appelsap festival coming sunday and one week later it’s another big one here for the summer festivals…3 days of Solar Festival in Roermond. Upcoming festival that runs 24hours on the campside and on the festival area itself, with live bands, dj’s, art and shitloads of events. Some Dutch highlights on the program: Nobody Beats the Drum, Parra Soundsystem, Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, Flinke Namen…

I was there for the first time last year, only for one day. I enjoyed it so much, so this edition we’re going for all the days and even decided to hook up with the organisation to release their first festival tee…

Solar Ontour, the day and night version:

Available in limited quantities at the festival itself and now already available at Freshcotton. Besides, when you order your tee there you can win free tickets for the festival! So get you shine on and buy them here!

The latest trend at the Amsterdam Fashion Week is to bring a hoolahoop as an accessory.

After showing at Bread and Butter we made some moves…at the show we met some old and new business partners. We’re happy to welcome 3 new distributors in our network! First one is Blue Distribution from Italy. We’ve worked with them before and now we’re back. Looking forward to get things rollin’…

Have a look at their site and when you live in Italy, now you know how to get your hands on Ontour! More distribution news soon.

Coming weekend Amsterdam Fashion Week starts. We’ll be part of this little event organised by Les Dames sans Filter on sundays in the Flexbar.

Starting in the afternoon with some nice goodies for garage prices from stores as Rock Paper Scissors, No Boys Allowed, LA Gear, sabre and us ofcourse you can do some shopping. And slowly the space will transform into a party area in the evening.  More info here Doors open at 15 hours!

Even though the weather is kinda crapy now here, my agenda is filling up with summer parties and festivals for the coming months. I will highlight some of the nicest ones, starting with Appelsap

In the last 8 years Appelsap evolved into being one of the best Dutch hiphop-events. In the beautiful Oosterpark they will take hiphop back to its roots, while reaching 5000 music lovers every year. Be there the 2nd of august!
