Tokyo-based streetwear label BlackEyePatch recently teamed up with thisisneverthat on a collaborative collection, and the brand is now releasing a new collection inspired by the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon. The collection spotlights an iconic 'BlackEyePatch' embroidered logo across each garment, with the jacket in particular providing a clear, oversized version of this insignia. Consumers can also browse through a selection of fleece pullovers, 'OG Dragon' crewnecks, 'OG Dragon Claw' t-shirts, and other accessories such as the 'Gold Plate Pendant' and 'Gold Plate Earrings.'
Other designs include the 'THIS PROPERTY IS SOLD' crewnecks with 'Property of BlackEyePatch' stamped on the back. The full BlackEyePatch Lunar New Year collection will debut on January 6, 2024, through the brand's website and select stockists.
