The celebratory collection is comprised of seasonally appropriate pieces, such as crewneck sweaters, hoodies, shorts and t-shirts. All garments are decorated in bright colors such as yellow, blue, green and pink. The selection is accented wit the iconic BAPE head branding, Baby Milo branding, as well as palm tree details as a nod to the Golden State.
The entire collection will be available as the new BAPE L.A. store opens its doors on February 17th.
