We relaunched the Farthing Collective site a few days ago. Lots of content and familiar faces on there. Lots of good stuff in the works. Take a look, subscribe and join us on Twitter/Facebook. http://www.farthingcollective.com

2 new arrivals from the Vault spring line now at NICHE.  The Mtn. Edition x Knoll Textiles in army green is amazing! ($115)  We also received the 106 Sierra LX, ($64.)  Both of these are moving fast and are in store or phone order only.  Shoot us an email at sales@thenichemarket.com or call 704.379.1811 if you are interested.

I’m loving this new style, the Sophie from Vans for women.  It’s a fashion forward lo profile option for spring.  Now available in navy as well as the black/white.  We also received the lo pro “acid wash!”  All in-store and online now.

We just dropped some nice NICHE spring hat selections.  We have a black and grey ripstop 5-panel, as well as a denim 5-panel.  Also, we are offering a “castro” style ripstop fitted cap.  Click here to view or purchase.

The first spring delivery from SF based Huf is now in-store and online!  We received a few cut ‘n sew pieces as well as a couple tees, hats and other accessories.  Click here to view all HUF.

A book titled Cult Streetwear by Josh Sims is releasing this month documenting the beast that is streetwear. “From its origins in American workwear, via west coast subcultures, extreme sports and subsequent commercialism, streetwear has become to fashion as hip-hop has to music: a global phenomenon.”

This is MAJOR guys!  When it rains it pours I guess.  The 2 biggest in-store events in NICHE history are 3 days apart.  Johnny Cupcakes event on Tuesday, April 6th and the previous Saturday, April 3rd a Dalek event!  Dalek is regarded as one of the top graphic contemporary artists of our generation.  He has done numerous skateboard decks, vinyl toys, animation series, etc.  You may have also seen his work on Fuel TV.  He may be most well known for his space monkey characters, but his use of bold colors are also always present.

This event is the brainchild of Anthony from The Poster Cause Project.  Anthony is a local graphic designer that is working with big time artist in the name of charity.  To pre-buy the print you can go here. It is $35 and all profits from the Dalek prints go to “Murder Through The Eyes Of A Child”, a documentary about the high murder rate in New Orleans and it’s horrible effect on children.

OMG!  This is hilarious.  My friend Shep put me on to this clip recently.  I had never heard the story of this guy Dock Ellis pitching a no hitter on acid!  The story is epic in his own words and the animation is just as good!

We just received a restock on some select sizes of New Standard and Rescue denim from A.P.C. If you have been wanting a pair you need to jump on these quick!  They move fast and are typically a bit hard to reorder.

For those of you who remember our Noda store you should be familar with Johnny Cupcakes.  JC is the brainchild of John Earle and is based in Boston.  In a very short time JC has gained a cult following.  Everything about the line is cupcake themed.  If you are lucky enough to check out his stores in Boston and LA it’s pretty mind blowing.  They are completely set up like a full service bakery, but only tees are being served there.  We no longer carry the brand because John has chosen to focus on selling only online and through his retail stores.  He was kind enough to contact us and is coming through on his suitcase tour!  This will be your chance to get some limited tees that won’t be available anywhere else and between Virginia and Atlanta NICHE will be the only stop!  Mark your calenders for Tuesday, April 6th at 8pm.  I’m also extremely excited to tell you guys about an event we are having the Saturday before as well but can’t let that one out of the bag yet!
