It’s been 2 months since we opened our doors on Pacific Coast Hwy… hard to believe how quickly time is moving. We’re thrilled with the new shop and continually working on ways to modify and refine the space. More great things coming down the pipe. Photo: Oden

Japanese artist (and long-time friend and contributor to Almond) Yusuke Hanai was in town for Charles and Lynn’s wedding this week. Although it was small, it was clean and fun… stoked to sneak in a quick surf with Yusuke before he had to catch a plane back to Tokyo. We have another t-shirt graphic courtesy of Mr. Hanai that will be releasing this Holiday season. Involving talented friends has always been a huge part of Almond’s story… big thanks to Yusuke and so many others. Photos courtesy of The Honorable Mr. Thomas Green
