An unusual but pretty cool collaboration that I came accross recently is the Beetles x Comme des Garcons line of bags and shirts. The logo of Apple Corps Ltd. — the London-based company that manages the legacy and musical catalogue of the Beetles — sits next to Comme des Garcon’s signature polkadots on a range of travel bags, the core of the collection, along with shirts and T-shirts.
Priced from around $115 for a T-shirt up to $860 for the most expensive bag, The Beatles/Comme des Garçons label is to launch Nov. 20 in Tokyo at the Trading Museum, a new Comme store concept in the Gyre building. Dover Street Market, Kawakubo’s multibrand emporium in London, is to host the British launch on Nov. 27, with a further commercial rollout planned for 2010.
Bonus: The Beatles Catalogue Flash Drive
Only 30,000 of these limited-edition Beatles USB drives will be made, and are expected to be released* in North America on Dec. 8. For $280, the 16GB drive contains the entire Beatles catalog, plus videos, album art, photos and more.
