Beautiful/Decay: Grab Bag


Last week it was 15% discounts, this week it seems to be grab bags, go figure. B/D made up some pretty refreshing blurb so I’m just going to copy/paste the news to you:

Beautiful/Decay presents the ultimate t-shirt grab-bag promotion at a bargain basement prices! For the standard $24.95 price of a single shirt, you will instead receive THREE randomly selected shirts, pulled from any of the artist-based designs and brands featured on our website, including the ever-popular Beautiful/Decay artist’s series apparel line. That’s like $8 a shirt. Of course, at a cut-rate price like this, all sales are final and non-returnable. You might receive two of the same shirt, but quit talking about your feelings and do some living. Get rad, use your mind, eat pizza, and take a gamble on the grab bag.

$24.95 for 3 shirts? Now that’s a deal!

Native America by Aya Kato for Beautiful/Decay

Its not often that the product pic I use is of the back of the clothing, but that’s where the majority of the action is going on with this hoodie. Beautiful/Decay have once again scoured the world (or maybe they just closed their eyes, opened their magazine on a random page and rang up the artist) and comissioned Japanese Aya Kato to design a hoodie for them. Since there’s quite a lot of detail on the hoodie I’ll let B/D take the reins for a minute:

This reversible hoodie features the female head design depicted in the Native America t-shirt across the back, with feather designs on the shoulders and a circular emblem on the front. The interior is an orange and black triangle pattern. Designed exclusively for Beautiful/Decay this extremely high quality zip-up Hoodie is completely cut and sew and is like have 2 hoodies in one. Other embellishments include customized stitching and a solid steel B/D zipper pull.
