Origin68 Featured In Torso Book

So we recently discovered by chance that one of our tshirts made it into the Torso book that came out a while back. We had no idea until we were having a flick through a copy at Margin that belonged to the guys from The Affair (nice guys and super nice tees by the way). It's our Anthony Aguero design 'The World In Your Eyes' so it must have been the man himself who sent them in. There are a few of his other designs in there. Anyway, we thought it was pretty cool and worth showing off about!.

Here's some pics. If you like tees in general it's worth a purchase as there's a tonne of cool stuff in there.

Hot Drink Mugs

We've all gone a bit Ronseal with this. And I don't mean perma-tanned. Oh no, it's a mug that does exactly what it says on the tin.. I mean ceramic, er mug. It's got hot drink in it innit. By the way ours is a tea, white with one sugar if you're putting the kettle on.
WARNING: Contains Hot Liquids.

Here's some interesting tea facts for you too Uk Tea Council website

Dove by Si Scott

This shirt needs no introduction...Ohh, go on then.

This design is by the now legendary Si Scott and displays a dove, the symbol of peace, in his indomitable highly detailed illustrative hand drawn style. If you haven't come accross Si's work over the last few years you must have been living under a rock, he's pretty much become the grand master of intricate swirly designs. We're really proud to bring you this one!

After gaining a degree in graphic design at Buckinghamshire University College, Si Scott used his skills to develop a characteristic style which combines hand-inked and penned artwork with modern typography.That style has won him a prestigious and ever-expanding client list, including Vogue, Nike, Polydor, Guinness, MTV, Absolut, Tiffany and Co, Miller and American Express.

New Storenvy Store

Storenvy this week launched their new social shopping community....

"In a nutshell Storenvy is _the_ social online store and shopping community. On one side, Storenvy is a series of online stores run by independent sellers. "The little guys."

On the other side, Storenvy is a network of shoppers who can shop across all of those stores at once, interacting with each other by watching what notes and ratings they leave on products and stores throughout the site. It's like following your friends and style icons on a shopping spree, watching what they pick up and what they actually buy."

We decided to give it a try and see if it creates anymore traffic for us. It won't ever replace our standalone store but it's free so it's got to be worth a shot. It may pull in some more sales from the good ol' USofA

Computer Arts Project Magazine features Origin68

We were approached by the guys at Comupter Arts Projects asking if we would like to be featured in their "How To Launch Your Own Streetwear Brand" edition of the magazine. Obviously we said yes.

The magazine features lots of great articles highlighting how to get into the world of streetwear and design. Our stuff made it into the Showcase section as well as having one of our quotes make it into the Big Question section. We did send them a pic of the two of us together, however they decided to cut poor old Harry out of it! He's still crying about it as we write this.

If you're a budding entrepreneur and fancy launching your own label then this is a great place to start, there's some great articles about getting stuff printed (by White Duck Screenprint), designing your own store (By Shred Clothing) as well as examples of great existing stores, designers and illustrators such as 123 Klan, Fl@33, Sixpack, Beautiful Decay.

Here's some pics from it.

XOX - Reprint

OK guys.
The XOX shirt has been flying out of 068 Towers... Like pigeons. A lot of people were left disappointed when the first print run pretty much sold out. We didn't think that was fair, so we have got a re-print done! Get them while they're hot!... Obviously they're not actually hot... that would be silly.

XOX Badges - Now available

We now have some xox badges available for you all so whilst you're investing in a shirt you can now get a nice set of badges (pins for our North American viewers!) to go with it. We will even throw in one of our own origin68 badges as a freebie. If you collect enough of them you could even play noughts and crosses with them on somebodys back. Not sure how much fun that would be though....
