 KAWSONE selling OriginalFake goods now
Just saw on the Kaws blog that the website will be selling goods via the website. I think it's a good move. There's been a few OF pieces that I've liked so it'll be nice to have an outlet to pick them up.

$68 for a t-shirt, I'd rather go to Mervyns and get 5 Cheetahs for that price!

I'm always amazed that people will pay those prices for a t shirt. But, people do. I need to get into that racket.

I think we have established that there really is absolutely no point in posting KAWS related information here...

maybe 60 of the 68 the tshirts cost go to the taiwanese sweatshop workers that made them

printed up in Brooklyn by the highest quality standards. I wouldn't pay those prices ever but I know the guys printing them. They're not cheap and they're serious fanatics about their craft.

No, that hasn't been established.
But wow - the only stuff that's remotely interesting is the Mark Dean Veca stuff and it's way too pricey. I'd sure like a silk screen of the MDV Chum though.

some really cool shit, i wouldn't buy any though. he could have the shirts for $150 and still have them sell out in a day.
ps yeah that belt sucks/is ridiculously overpriced.
pps i'm surprised to read the shirts are printed in the states since the OF store is in japan.

Kawstastic. I wish the shirts cost 136 dollars, then I would feel twice as better than other people when I wore them. I can't wait for the next X'd out eyes and crossbone toy release either. Seriously who else could have thought of that, lightyears beyond anyones comprehension.

Could it be that KAWS can't sell out his stock in Japan and that's why it's now being offered on the website...and is STILL available many hours later? Wake up, KAWS - your shit turned weak a few years back.

if they're being produced in NY then it would make sense to sell some stock in NY as well as opposed to shipping to Japan. Obviously with the toys being made in Japan it makes more sense to release @ OF w/ possible limited releases on the KAWS site.
I love all the moaning here about KAWS. People bitching about cost of a t-shirt...same people paying hundreds of dollars on vinyl...classic.

I could be wrong but ss far as I know, Medicom who produces Kaws vinyl is made in china. This also goes for Bounty Hunter with the exception of the clear Kun.
