Han Cholo @ Collective Souls Flea Market

Holiday shopping, food trucks, cupcakes, a beauty bar, helping those in need, and free parking? Seems like a Christmas miracle in the form of the Collective Souls Flea Market! This Saturday, December 18, from 11am-5pm, come rummage through apparel and accessories from local designers, as well as some vintage and handmade treasures (including vendors from Etsy). Han Cholo will be there lifting spirits with a variety of pieces from our Shadow Series. It will be held at The Well, 3446 South Hill St in LA. And since it's not just about getting for yourself, but giving to others- bring one can of food and your entrance fee will only be $1!

And for those who bah-humbug at the rain, no worries... it's an INDOOR event! There may not be hot cocoa to warm your tummies, but there will be plenty of sangria.

NYC Young Designers Market

Last weekend, Janessa and Donna represented Team Han Cholo and concluded a successful week in NYC at the Young Designers Market, giving style hungry New Yorkers a taste of what Han Cholo has to offer. Here are some snapshots of all the action, along with some satisfied shoppers with their new Han Cholo pieces:








New York, until we meet again!

Third time's a charm: NYC Launch Party

On August 23rd, we brought some LA to NYC at our third Han Cholo launch party (the first in Vegas, the second in LA) presented by Shake the Hand and Homebase. Han Cholo teamed up with Dirty Debs to host our event at Ella. Lovely attendees from NYLON, Elle, Hellz Bellz, Bijules, The Hundreds, and Redlight PR (just to name a few) came to check out our new Fall pieces.



















If third time's a charm, what do they say about fourth times? Yes, that's right. We're off to do a fourth launch party in a couple of months. Where? Here's a little hint:


Why all the launch parties, you wonder? Because Han Cholo can be rocked by anyone... even those who choose to don Italian sport coats and white linen pants.

Start spreading the news...

New York, New York! If you want to be apart of all the Han Cholo action in the Big Apple, check out our East coast launch party at Ella on Thursday, September 23, 2010.


And come through on Saturday, September 25, 2010 to the Young Designer's Market and stock up on your Han Cholo swag, which look good with those vagabond shoes, amongst other things.




and for your listening pleasure:

New York, we love you!
