Manifesto: To search. To challenge. To build. To re-build. To redefine. To be abstract. We are anti-chic. We go against the trend. We are anti-fashion establishment. We are against refinement. To create a new fashion philosophy. To fuse intellect with style. To re-interpret the 1980’s and 1990’s philosophies that defines contemporary dressing. History: In 2006 a series of T-shirts from UNDRCVR Volume 1.0 circulated in the underground music scene of San Francisco that had a strong play and parody of pop culture, music and the designer logo obsessed youth. The circulation and distribution of the collection could only be acquired through djs in the Bay Area club music scene and San Francisco after hour parties. The enigmatic circulation of the T-shirts became an instant box of curiosities due to the inaccessibility and novelty. With limited numbers in circulation, a select crowd of the San Francisco nightlife and music scene made UNDRCVR a cult “underground” label. In 2007 UNDRCVR quickly gained traction in the Los Angeles, Chicago and New York dj scene through the distribution of party promoters and a chain of after hour house music parties. Critics regarded the label as the Banksy of streetwear for reasons like “UNDRCVR” as abbreviation for undercover which is a covert operation and for the “underground” circulation in the scene. “It suddenly appears and only select a crowd appreciate it and have it”. In 2008 the label gained notoriety in the punk rock and house music scene through out the U.S. with a collection entitled “Punk’s Not Dead Volume 1.1” that represented the state of mind of the Punk music scene of the early 80’s and the current punk rock scene today. A series of streetwear basics was released and launched in the Love Parade of 2008 as the UNDRCVR Volume 2.0 collection was greatly embraced by the dance music scene while multiple pop -up shops opened simultaneously at Coachella that quickly captured the grunge and rock music crowd. UNDRCVR became a novelty streetwear line at the Miami’s Winter Music Conference with multiple pop-up shops and distribution in the after hour parties in various clubs through out Miami. Soon enough several popular punk rock bands and various famous djs in the underground music scene was wearing shirts by UNDRCVR through out the United States. UNDRCVR continuous to open pop-up shops at Coachella, Winter Music Conference and the Love Parade annually. In 2009 the first studio of UNDRCVR opened in the hip district of the SoMa neighborhood of San Francisco where a strictly by music “connections” and introduction were allowed an appointment while limiting the distribution only through djs, bands, and club promoters. The new line of sportswear and streetwear entitled “Fly Now 2009 UNDRCVR Volume 2.0” was quickly embraced by the skater community. During the Fall of 09’, the first UNDRCVR fashion show was held at the BART (Bay Area Railway Transit) subway in the Montgomery station. Hundreds of followers appeared at the BART station who received either a flyer, a text message or an email stating only 3 things; Location, Time, and “be UNDRCVR”. In the midst of an unknowing public, the first UNDRCVR fashion presentation occurred and 45 models that arrived as a group out of nowhere took off trench coats showing the entire 2009 collection entitled the “be UNDRCVR Project” and walked a long line in the Montgomery station during the busy rush hour while a make shift sound system played tracks from The Sex Pistols to Duran Duran down to Nirvana. Several arrests resulted in the first “underground” UNDRCVR fashion show for public disruption and by not obtaining a permit although the same practice of presentation for each collection of UNDRCVR continues annually in various locations. In 2010 the second UNDRCVR studio opened in the SoHo neighborhood of New York with a Warhol-esque Silver Factory vibe where private parties are held and attended by the music and art aficionados of the New York “underground” scene. The UNDRCVR SoHo studio is not open to the public (unless a recommendation from previous distributors or select friends in the “underground” music and art scene were provided) and is strictly by appointment only. Simultaneous “underground” fashion shows was held in Manhattan in the Chelsea, Nolita and Soho neighborhoods in front of busy night spots that launched the “be UNDRCVR Project” Volume 3.0 collection for 2010. By the summer of 2010, due to huge pressure from the retail community and followers alike who found UNDRCVR’s inaccessibility in acquiring as a huge problem, UNDRCVR eventually distributed through a select number of retailers through out the San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles areas in a very limited quantity for each collection while still maintaining distribution through the djs, skate events, punk rock bands, party promoters and after hour parties. In 2011 the entire team behind UNDRCVR stayed in Hamburg Germany for 4 months to create the Spring and Summer collections and opened 8 pop-up shops at the Love Parade in Berlin. Soon after the team moved the design operation in the provinces of Catalonia Spain for the Fall and Winter collections while opening pop-up shops in the 18th Barcelona's International Festival of Advanced Music and New Media Art. UNDRCVR collectively designed Volumes 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 for the year outside the U.S. although still only distributing through retail in America, UNDRCVR remained in the “underground” music scene of Europe. In 2012 the design team spent 90 days in a remote area of the Magic Valley in Twin Falls Idaho away from the bustling scene of Manhattan and San Francisco to focus on the “be UNDRCVR project” Volume 3.0’s collection. In that same year, the distinction of Spring-Summer and Fall-Winter was blurred and only a yearly collection began to be produced pertaining to Volumes 1.1 to 1.10 and so on and so forth the other 2 Volumes of the UNDRCVR collections. Global Tricot Apparel LLC became the official manufacturer and distributor of UNDRCVR while keeping the “be UNDRCVR Project” Volume 3.0 produced in-house at the San Francisco and New York work shops. In the summer of 2012, the UNDRCVR design team spent 90 days residing in Tokyo Japan designing the collections and absorbing inspiration from the very extreme streetwear scene in Harajuku and opening 4 pop-up shops during the 3 day SonarSound Tokyo Music Festival. In 2013 the 3rd UNDRCVR studio opened in Los Angeles catering to the West Coast distribution along with the San Francisco studio. 7 Pop-up shops were opened at the Coachella Music Festival and the Miami Winter Music Conference to present the 2013 UNDRCVR Volume 1.0 and 2.0 collections. In the fall of 2013 UNDRCVR opened 2 satellite studios for distributors in Tokyo and Hong Kong under Global Tricot Apparel LLC to cater to the Asian market. Collections: Each collection is divided into 3 volumes. Each volume has a growing subset throughout the year that determines viability for the season. VOLUME 1.0 UNDRCVR ( a collection of t-shirts and tanks for both men and women ) VOLUME 2.0 UNDRCVR ( a collection of basic apparel for both men and women that reflect street wear philosophies ) VOLUME 3.0 be UNDRCVR Project ( Limited edition artisan made garments reconstructed from various existing articles of clothing using unconventional constructions and finishing techniques. )
It is exceedingly difficult to describe The Love of Ganesha. More so given the categories and character limits that Facebook asks us to stick to, but here goes an attempt: In San Francisco, gentrification is real, really real talk. It's all too easy to distance ourselves and intellectualize the issue, but The Love of Ganesha is at risk of eviction. Noot, an extraordinary, possibly extraterrestrial woman has run it for decades. I fail to adequately express the generosity and kindness that makes up the life force of this woman or the love and community this place inspires; thankfully Yelpers around the world have done a bang up job in my stead: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-love-of-ganesha-san-francisco Noot is getting priced out by her landlord, who is asking her to pay more than double her current rent. We don't seek to demonize gentrification here - it is what it is, a complex issue. But there is something about The Love of Ganesha that hooks deep into you, spending time in there quickly bonds you to the space and the people who keep it going. We are just some of the droves who've been touched by this space. If you've been there, you know what we mean. If you haven't and want to, we'd be honored to show you. The connections people make to Noot and The Love of Ganesha space reverberate worldwide. We wanted to create this page to see and catch up with our beloved friends all over and let them know what Noot, her team, and her community are facing. We'd be so grateful if you could Like the FB page and, if it resonates, contribute to the Indiegogo campaign that we'll launch in coming weeks. We're also trying to figure out a sustainable long-term business plan in coming months. Anything you can do (this includes comments, advice, ideas, sharing your story about the store, anything!) would be so, so deeply felt. Endless love to you all.

THE WOODS: A New Kind of Curiosity Shop Comes to the Mission Equal parts gallery, gift shop and museum of the mind-bending, The Woods is the creation of sisters Lisa and Sandy Wood, two San Francisco artists with a taste for the strange and singular. “It’s a store. But really, it’s what people used to call a cabinet of curiosities,” says Lisa Wood, “the kind of place we always wanted to stumble across. A hole in the wall packed with unexpected treasures and bizarre surprises—whimsical and fun, but also haunting and mysterious. It’s basically a little corner of the weird world inside our heads, made real and wackily retail.” “Think The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari meets Moonrise Kingdom,” adds Sandy. “And if you have no idea what either of those movies is about, don’t worry. There’s something in here for everyone, and it’s all completely one-of-a-kind.” Indeed, in an age of ever-increasing sameness, The Woods has declared itself an emporium of uber-uniqueness. The sisters have lined the shelves and walls with their own art—which ranges freely from large abstract paintings to diminutive insect dioramas, shadowboxes, jewelry, silhouettes, assemblages and custom-crafted pet urns—packed in among pieces of outsider art, naïve art, and found art, from loved-to-death toys to taxidermy oddities. “We’re on a mission to bring back thoughtful gifts and elements of home décor,” says Sandy. “We want people to come in, browse, dream, and find something they never could have imagined.” “And if they don’t find, we’ll make it!” says Lisa. “We’re setting up a studio right in the middle of the store, where we’ll be making customized creations to collect or give as gifts.” Two sisters. Two lifetimes of transforming dreams into art. And now, those dreams have a magical, mysterious place to call their own. Welcome to The Woods.
Established in 2003 by Andrew Martin Scott and Breezy Culbertson, San Francisco’s Needles & Pens is an arts space that showcases international and locally-made artist books, self-published zines, magazines, independent press, as well as, hand-made goods, jewelry, accessories; and visual artwork in a gallery setting. Since it’s inception, the mission of the space has been to create a dialogue between the artistic community and the general public of San Francisco by providing a venue in which artists can directly sell their creations – 50-60% of most items sold goes directly back to the artist that created it. Over the last 10 years, having hosted over 80 gallery exhibitions (including one in London, England and another in Malmo, Sweden), N&P has evolved into a grass-roots hub of the city’s thriving arts scene that attracts both a local and an international scope of artists providing an integral “stepping-stone” type of service with it’s virtual open-door to beginning artists. For many, Needles & Pens is the first place to display anything they’ve created publicly. There have been countless throngs of successful local individuals who’s work was first shown in a zine or silk-screened t-shirt on the racks at N&P that later went on to greater acclaim. Among this spectrum of influential artists are: Tauba Auerbach, Monica Canilao, Bill Daniel, Chris Duncan, Hamburger Eyes, Maria Forde, Jay Nelson, Mat O’Brien, Emily Prince, The Polaroid Kidd, Kyle Ranson, Sara Thustra, and many more… WE'RE OPEN DAILY 12 PM - 7 PM When in Los Angeles visit our sister store: & Pens Press 8564 Washington Blvd Culver City, CA. 90232
