It's a great pleasure to officially stock @kangol - A brand that transcended subcultural boundaries unlike any other.
The 1970's saw the birth of Hip-Hop and the subgenres attached to it such as Graffiti + Breakdancing. Art forms with close attachment to metropolitan cities due to the freestyle + creative attitudes that permeated these culture hubs like London + New York.
These bold expressions laid the cultural foundation for years to come.
But it was the 80s that catapulted Kangol to superstardom when the now OG's, but the stars of then including LL Cool J + Run DMC were very rarely caught without a piece of Kangol on their heads. From here on, it became a staple piece for anyone associated with the Hip-Hop scene - Faux fur bucket hats + flat caps in poppy colors were a must.
Through the 90s + now 2000's we see some of the biggest stars still wearing Kangol - representing its cultural importance + shift to streetwear style that remains relevant to this day.
