UK BAPE PIRATE STORE – London
0
BAPE Pirate Store
Argh matey! The BAPE Pirate Store is coming back to the London U.K. location. As you may or may not know, the Bathing Ape Pirate Stores offer special edition items from past collections at a sale price. The reduced pricing makes everything a good deal, however they only sell selected items. One thing that scares me about this though is that the BAPE store in Los Angeles closed for good shortly after they had the BAPE Pirate Store LA. Since BAPE has sold to I.T. Limited, I have been seeing stories saying some BAPE stores might be closing. For now, they are just rumours but with the secretive nature of BAPE, you always have to wonder.

A Bathing Ape – Baby Milo Cosmos Art Exhibit
0
BAPE Gallery – Baby Milo Cosmos Art Exhibiton
You might remember the BAPE Gallery from my earlier post about the BAPE Study Exhibiton posted in March last year (holy crap, I can’t believe it has been a year!). Now there is a new exhibition, which is the Baby Milo Cosmos art exhibit. The exhibit features Baby Milo as an astronaut in space or the cosmos. What is great about this exhibit is that there is a lot of different sized art that can be purchased. Some of the art is huge, and is over 5 feet long, and 5 feet tall, and then some are smaller. So, no matter how much wall space you have; you should be able to find something that fits.
Milo Cosmos Clothing and Accessories
If your not into art, there is also a ton of other BAPE Milo Cosmos items. Currently, the Milo Cosmos themed items are coffee tumblers, clip on mini baby milo character in his astronaut suit, a carry bag, and some awesome looking BAPE cosmo themed iPhone skins.. The BAPE Baby Milo Cosmos clothing items are denim shorts, polo shirts for men and women, and eight different tshirts. Click on the thumbnails below to see the full size images of all the art, clothing, and accessories from the collection.

BAPE Sold to Chinese fashion company I.T. Limited

A Bathing Ape has been sold!
If you have not yet heard, BAPE has been sold to a I.T. Limited. I have never heard of the company but it is based out of Hong Kong, China and is apparently a pretty big fashion company.
I was pretty surprised by this news. From what I have been reading though, it seems that BAPE was not doing too well financially. It is sad to hear the company was sold, but I guess it is better then it just going out of business completely. The saddest part about this news is that the company was sold for just $2.8 million. That seems like a pretty low price for the company given how many locations it currently has and the reputation the brand has.
There has also been some rumours lately that the BAPE store in New York City might end up closing. I think that would be a dumb move on the new owners part since NYC is a pretty fashionable place and people have a lot of money. I hope this rumour isn’t true, but the L.A. store has been closed for awhile now so who knows what is left for BAPE in North America.
BAPE / Gizmobies Baby Milo iPhone skin
0Last year, A Bathing Ape released the different colour camo iPhone skins which were a big success. Now, the latest release is a Baby Milo iPhone skin for the iPhone 4G. It looks good, but I wish they would make some for other types of phones or at least just make one that you can cut out to fit your specific phone.
So Nigo, if you read this… please make a skin for the Samsung Galaxy S!
