admin — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 03:41:24 +0000

The Nan Luo Gu Xiang festival is confirmed for October 16th and 17th so I’m now trying to put together the music and art for the festival. Last year we had a great line up of bands at the Plastered stage this year will be even better and we still have a couple of slots for anyone interested bands, please contact me at dominic@plasteredtshirts.com if you are interested in playing (please send a link to some of your music).

I’m also going to try to create a couple of areas for graffiti artists to perform so please send me an email with some of your work if you’d like to take part.

Plastered has teamed up with super cool 08/15 bags to produce a real beauty with more coming! We’ve taken our first design from a 1970s Beijing duffle bag with a stunning stencil of the iconic Beijing Hotel on it. Screen printed onto bright blue with great affect.
Made from truck tarp this bag is super strong and comes with a many extras too. A detachable and extendable key reel and detachable mobile phone pocket and a super strong adjustable seat belt strap. The bag can also be extended to almost twice its size to fit all your goodies.

Kung Fu Kid
The new karate kid film has nothing on the original but this new Plastered design is just brilliant. The front design takes its inspiration from government-published book of art from 1972; the back of the t-shirt is our special touch: our karate kid is wearing split pants, seen on children across China.

Polos
These babies have been long in the making! For all you corporate slaves, these polos are sure to attract the attention you need in the office, and on the street. Using our classic designs we’re now bending over to big business and helping you get Plastered at work.

Zip-ups
September 8th sees the arrival of our new zip-ups featuring additional Beijing districts.Now you can buy the district you love and live in: we’ve added Chaoyang and Xicheng to our already popular Dongcheng style.

Plastered’s Pot of Love
Throughout the whole of September Plastered’s very popular pot of love is back. Spend over 200rmb and you can dip into the pot and win a surprise gift. Gifts range from VIP cards to limited edition t-shirts or even hard cash. Everyone is a winner. May the pot get you Plastered. Please note: only available in the Beijing Nan Luo Gu Xiang Store.

Nan Luo Gu Xiang Festival

Its that time of year when we hopefully get to have a festival on the Hu Tong. After a few meetings it looks like its going to happen this September, and even though I know the date right now I don’t dare confirm it as these things always change at the last moment. But keep an eye on this blog to find out the dates first.

Nan Luo Gone Crazy

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 09:36:40 +0000

This year on Nan Luo Gu Xiang we’ve seen even more people up and down the hu tong, but not a huge difference in sales. Having spoken to a lot of business owners and fellow members of the chamber of commerce everyone agrees more people looking and not so many spending money. The problem is that the rents are going up and up to crazy levels. Today I heard that the price of the place opposite my shop is up for rent for 330,000rmb a year and its only about 30 metres squared. Its hard to tell how many businesses on the street are really making any profit but I’d say less than half, and at this rate is going to get worse. Let’s hope that this can be controlled one day or the street might lose its special feel soon.

Plastered Intern

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 07:29:50 +0000

Here is Phil Cao, Phil grew up in Beijing and has been interning with us for the last few weeks as a designer. Today he came to work today wearing one of the very first Plastered designs from 2006 when we opened our doors on Nan Luo Gu Xiang. I took a fun picture of a Chinese icon Da Shan giving the thumbs up and added a star with 88rmb written in it. Certainly not a best seller, we only printed 40 of them, and today is the first time I’ve seen this design for nearly 4 years. Phil is standing next to our giant 8 in thew window of our store on Nan Luo Gu Xiang. He design the new cover made up of old meat tickets we bought together in a 2nd hand market.

Jiang Su TV

Last weekend Jiang Su tv flew me down to Nan Jing along with a group of very interesting business people to film a TV show. The weekend was really good fun, everyone in the panel for the show were really nice people. I also got to meet one of my heros—Tao Xiangli, he designed and built his own submarine, he only made it to the 5th grade of his education and lives in the countryside. Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
