Not really a review, but I want to share something.
La Chouette Paris, is a bike shop based in Paris, that recently started to carry BL gear.
By looking at their IG page, you could tell that they carry brands similar to Blue Lug. Surly, All-City, Swift and so on. I immediately fell in love with their shop.
Their IG pics are so good too! I think we share the same kind of humor. Love it.
One day, I was looking at some of their posts on IG and I found out that they’ve ordered the Guru Guru Bar Tapes from us!!
(They’re placed on the right side of the white t-shirt)
They really went all out for the BL display! It’s an honor to have the bar tapes I have designed in a shop this awesome.
One day I need to go to Paris, I’m coming for you, Eiffel Tower.
They even have the bar tapes up on their online store, so I highly suggest buying from them if you are in the area.
Now let’s talk about the design. The Guru Guru Bar Tapes were inspired by the shirt below.
This is a jacquard rib tee from Stussy from the 90s. I’ve been looking for this shirt for so long. I would probably never be able to get it so I decided to make a bar tape (and belts). Yes, it makes sense.
Gotta thank our locals for using these tapes too.
