Best Buddies, Chill Empire

STORYLINE

Design by Raf Reyes: my go-to piece (to be fair). Lets you wanna daydream all day erryday. Stemming from an expression I took over and worked from to build the VR®® artwear around it: ‘L’Empire du Chill’ ([The Empire of Chill]). A merry-go-lucky Majin Buu and Hercules/M. Satan just b the dynamic duo that no one could outsmoke and out-chill. Being wavey as a team and besties/buddies, all-over prints come wrapping the VERYRARE™ ‘Laidback’ statement piece. Subtle tonal embroideries in pastel palettes embellish the artwear, made to be worn-winning (in line with our manifesto), whether in museums, galleries or on the couch. A Raf-coined quote (at the back), the screenplay script for the scene represented at the front is printed on the sleeve, with trademark VR®® VERYRARE™ stripes/bands earned in [Super Saiyan] combat as well. Carpe diem fam. Seize that moment. Just enjoy yo ☻

SHIPPING INFOS & RETURNS POLICY

☞ We don’t want you to pay any import taxes!!. However our art-elier is in France so some countries charge for the importation of clothes from there. That is why you may receive a note asking you to pay for the importation of products. We will compensate for that and return the money on the card used. The United States (unless you buy $800 worth of goods in a single order!) and the European Union are not affected by Import taxes.
