The Story
80’s and roller skating.
Several different colors of athletic mesh were purchased for the Boxer - style shorts Artwear Embroidery (my company 1985-1996) manufactured a line styled after the Everlast Boxing brand. The gaudy print fabric used for the lining of this bag is from the shell of a Bomber-style jacket common in the ‘80’s. The metallic gold leather is an inheritance from the very early days of Rock & Republic Jeans. The twill tape detail is used throughout the Ath chic Collection, inspired by the 2024 Summer Olympics. The oversized gem closure is a thrift shop find signed G.K. Very specialized, the sunburst makes the perfect fastener.
