This past weekend, San Diego once again attracted swarms of comic aficionados and Seth Cohen look-a-likes, as it hosted the 41st Comic Con. Sadly, after much speculation and anticipation, Daft Punk wasn't there to perform their songs off the "Tron" soundtrack. Despite this no-show, eight minutes of the film were shown, while various Tron collaborations were showcased...including Han Cholo x Tron pendants and belt buckles. Other collaborations included Adidas, Oakley, Burton, and Hurley. Brandon represented Team Han Cholo and experienced all the Comic Con action firsthand, while also running into Danny DeVito.
Sneak peek of some Tron Cholo pieces...more coming soon!
Wu-Tang Clan may be rocking the bells this summer, but check out RZA showing Han Cholo some love by rocking our rings. RZA and Brandon met through their mutual friend Shavo, bass player of System of a Down. Some of his pieces include the Lazarus, Indian Chief Skull, Future Human, and most notably his custom gold and diamond Wu-Tang ring.
Thanks to everyone who participated in our SHOW US YOUR SPACE contest with Revolve Clothing! And a big congrats to our two fabulous winners, Pauline and Scarlet! They've won the Open Space ring, or "The Brad Pitt ring." Here are their decked out spaces:
And now we'd like to show you a piece of our humble abode here in LA. Here's a peek inside Brandon's office:
New for Han Cholo’s Spring 2010 collection are the Lioness and Lazarus rings for her and him, respectively. As seen on our post about our Bloc 28 line with Disney, we’re no strangers to taking a childhood icon and adding a unique twist. Available in gold, silver, and gunmetal, these rings pay homage to the Japanese cartoon, “Voltron,” a childhood favorite of co-founder, Brandon Schoolhouse. So whether you travel to a universe near or far, rock these rings and you’ll be the defender of all that is stylish.
What happens when you mix street art, jewelry, and a rodent? Han Cholo and Disney have collaborated with visionary street artists for the Bloc 28 artist series, a jewelry line that breaks away from the cookie cutter image of Mickey Mouse. With some pieces featuring skull and crossbones, Bloc 28 adds a darker, grown-up twist to everyone’s childhood icon. This line caters to the creative and unconventional who have outgrown their days watching “The Mickey Mouse Club.” Stay tuned for new pieces that will be released this Fall 2010!
