Hey I want to thank all of our loyal fans and customers for their continued support of Dutch Trade Industries.
I promise we’ll be making more styles and more colours! Keep an eye out!
Also I want to give a plug to homey Ken who is making some crazy designed socks at his company ashi dashi
Peep this:

So definitely check that out.

Relax kid, its summer.:D

Dutch Trade made a quick hop on down to San Diego to check out the Agenda Trade Show this year and here are some highlights:

We know we’ve run short on some colours but we should be fully stock in Blackletter Uppercase + Bubbleletters by mid June.

Look for a new colour! Bubbleletter Brown!

On another we had to close comments (hopefully just temporarily) due to excessive spam and email solicitations.


For the record this company is 100 percent female owned and operated so we’re not interested in penis enlargement or viagra. And we re-invest in the company so chill on the hot stock tips.
Thanks,
Love <3 Dutch Trade Industries.

Dutch Trade Industries surveys the scene at Magic Trade Show / Project / Pool Trade Show

Hip Hop/Gangsta ruled streetwear at Magic. Damon Dash’s Roca Wear had a huge glossed up booth but unless you were some big to do buyer, this pimp shack was off limits.

Some pics from Pool Trade Show:

Things/ Trends I noticed :

Bandanas are huge. Not to wear on your head, son. Like over the lower third of your face. Yeah like a bank robber.

And this one actually had a whole barbershop thing going on and was giving out haircuts for real.

A cab driver told me that the convention brought in 100,000+ people to town. - I think over half had to have been the Japanese/Asia market buyers. They were at Magic in full force. I’d say they were by and large the biggest consumers/co-opters of the hip-hop streetwear floors. And I love how they take to the next level. See Nigo of BAPE.

A good way to secure business, I have found is to ply the potential buyer with plenty of free alcohol in their booths.

Another thing I saw a lot of is well I don’t know what else to call cept big DOOKIE Eyeglasses. Point of reference Fat Boys circa 1985

Free Shit = Bad Back
Free shit is always a plus and there were tons of magazines to to be had. However I learned it is best to pick up your bounty after you’re done walking around cause the weight is equivalent to carrying around a bag of rocks and you’ll end up getting real tired real quick.

prologue :

All in all, there was a lot of great ideas and cool things to look at which helped get the creative juices flowin again so I’m glad I went.

Ironically the day I returned, I got in the mail my driver’s license that I had lost 2 months ago from a previous trip to Las Vegas. It was accompanied with some christian literature and christian comics. Now I aint about to get paranoid or nothing but it was definitely creepy.

Skulls Crossbones are so hot right now and we got em!
