Suave Cartel Debuts Clothing Label CHKNCHOP
Inspired by our favourite local chicken dishes.
Suave Cartel Media is set to present their first ever clothing label project CHKNCHOP (Chicken Chop) at a one-day-only pop-up this weekend.
Two years in the making, CHKNCHOP focuses on—you guessed it—chicken-themed dishes. A total of two styles will be available at this weekend’s pop-up: a Suave Cartel x CHKNCHOP jersey and a Waldgang x CHKNCHOP tee.
The Suave Cartel x CHKNCHOP jersey is the budding streetwear label’s take on the football jersey, a clothing piece which has been experiencing a resurgence. Wrapped in red and yellow stripes from head to toe, it features Suave Cartel and CHKNCHOP co-branding on the left and right respectively. The vibrant color theme is likely a reference to their custom Chicken Rendang Nike Dunk Lows, the CHKN REN:DUNK, which is one of the raffle prizes for the event.
The Waldgang x CHKNCHOP tee is a collaboration with the event venue Waldgang Barbershop and features the text “Chop Shop”, a wordplay on chicken chop and barbershop, on a sand-colored t-shirt. The back of the tee is printed with the Waldgang logo.
The jersey and tee from CHKNCHOP’s debut collection are priced at SG$65 and SG$45 respectively and will be available in limited quantities. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, Suave Cartel and CHKNCHOP will be holding a raffle during their pop-up with prizes that include the Nike CHKN REN:DUNK and the Nike Air Max 1 x CLOT “Kiss of Death”.
The CHKNCHOP pop-up and collab launch party is happening at Waldgang Barbershop, Textile Centre, this Saturday 4 March, 3pm to 8pm. For more launch details, head on over to Suave Cartel Media.
