What happens when Monkey 47 and BAPE® collide? The flyest streetwear grails of the season.
One is a craft gin behemoth for over 70s years (fun fact: its name is inspired by a simian called Max who once a resident of Berlin Zoo) and the other, a titan of street wear fashion. Together, is when they are strongest: a capsule collection of clothing — a hoodie, tee, Hawaiian shirt, skateboard — and a bottle that blends what the two are most iconic for: Monkey 47’s wunderbar jungle print and BAPE®’s iconic camo design.
Another grail from the Monkey 47 and BAPE® collection: a bottle of Schwarzwald Dry Gin.
Alexander Stein, founder of Monkey 47, comments: “Innovation and collaboration is at the very heart of both brands and for Monkey 47, experimentation with new flavours, aromas and partners is part of our DNA. As a hand-crafted gin, we know how important it is for the end product to be a labour of love and we’re hugely excited to be bringing our expertise from the world of gin to fashion.”
While being limited in run (the collection is only available in 10 countries including ours and available on bape.com and monkeykiosk.com), expect more from the Black Forest gin brand soon. The hype is only just starting.
