BIG IN JAPAN!

The Japanese press has been all over Love Brigade recently! Our indie designer retail shop (LB Co Op) was featured in this month's issue of Nylon Japan, Senken Shimbun, and both our label and Co Op will be featured in Elle JAPON (yes, that is the correct spelling) in August!

When translated, the articles pretty much just say what we all already know... speaks of LB's plans of world domination, yadda yadda yadda. You know the drill.

INVADING FLORIDA
(2ND RETAIL LOCATION!)

SEPTEMBER(ish), @ FIVE POINTS Jacksonville FL

Although we have yet to officially confirm it, but go ahead, start a rumor.... we might have a great opportunity to open our 2nd retail location already, extending to our very own hometown of Jacksonville, FL where our hometown friends and fans alike will be finally able to wear many of the labels we carry in our NYC-based retail store, LB Co Op. You know what we're talking about... the look that typically infests hipster areas such as our own neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

We will know more upon our return from visiting home in July, be prepared, Jacksonville!
