Your recent purchases

^ a parallel universe I don't want to live in, but that is impressive.

i love that, where did you find it?

I'm not the best judge of jewelry, admittedly. I can't really stand to wear watches, rings or necklaces. Just always felt unnatural and binding.

I do wear one of these once in a while...it's a leather hospital bracelet. Simple, not bulky or cumbersome...doesn't move around much. You can forget that you're wearing it, which is what I like.

And this is almost appropriate for recent purchases because I've only had it for a few months.

Once again we've descended into the ongoing argument about CH. I wont defend the aesthetic as it's a moot argument and largely their designs are tacky, perhaps it's part of the appeal. I will say however, that once, upon entering a Chrome Hearts boutique with my father who was a carpenter and GC many years ago, he noted that the store employed some of the most well crafted wood and silver work he had ever seen. The craftsman at CH who create entire stores out of ebony wood (notoriously dense) with extremely intricate inlays, are some of the best in the world.

For those of you who truly appreciate artisinal craftsmanship, these guys build everything themselves at their studios in LA, down to the door and cabinet hinges. Say what you will about the aesthetic, but you cant deny that no other brand has created such a total universe for itself.

something can be well-made and still be ugly as fuck.

I haven't noticed the furniture much, but I've heard from various people that the quality of most of the jewellery is actually mediocre, with little handwork involved. Any jewellery experts?

shouldn't this CH discussion belong in the chrome hearts, the chrome that keep on farting thread?

i bought some flowers this morning..

I'm not a fan of Chrome Hearts in general, and their jewelry is lazily designed and way overpriced, and their branding obnoxious. But I think those sneakers look so good. I don't really care about which elements are used, just the sterling silver on all that black looks nice to me.

I saw Toshiya wearing them at a Dir en grey concert here in Montreal and wanted to steal them.



They were like $6000 though.

[kunk75]

they're free if you steal them

beating a dead horse.. but..
completely tired of hearing the "jewelry is ornamental thus unnecessary" spiel. Is that true? Yes. But how is wearing a paper thin, super long t-shirt that cost $300+ necessary? I'm not picking sides as I wear both daily but if that's your argument just buy some fucking Hanes and stop logging on.

There is a difference. A tee stills serves a function regardless of the price, jewelry does not.

Don't be a smartass or you will find your ass elsewhere.

[Peasant]

True. But any T serves the same purpose.

why you hatin' on the beer bottle opener, bro :( that's the best thing ever.

i love that, where did you find it?

This place had it the cheapest I could find it. And they were offering 10% off first purchase if you sign up for their newsletter. I think I got it for around $48...I think OakNYC had it for $85 but they're sold out. There's a 'concert' version and a 'hospital' version.
