Bento Man

January 6th, 2009

A few days back into the grind of things you find yourself again surrounded by hungry faces looking for the next best things to fuel the never ending working habits. Yuichi, currently our international sales rep turned us on to his Dad’s hidden gem Bento Man, a newly renovated Japanese lunch spot. An inexpensive and very tasty experience, definitely worth the trip if in the Los Angeles areas..

Even my dreads were getting a little impatient in anticipation for Bento Man..

Yuichi, Non-stop bbming and embming..

Pass through Little Ethiopia..

Make a hard straight at the High Fashion spot..

One for the books

December 31st, 2008

This year has been one to remember for us. When I conceptualized this company three years ago at Cal Poly I would have only imagined it would be where it is today. With the customs behind us and the footwear ahead of us, Stampd’ LA will be shipping to five countries starting 09′, adding 16 new styles to the books starting next summer. I usually turn away from putting pictures of myself on here, but I found these recently and it reminded me of when I started out few years ago. It’s always been about having fun, and believing in what you love. This is it, and I can guarantee you 09 will be much, much bigger. Stay tuned, see you next year, let’s have some fun.

This year traveling for the holidays was a lot of the same. Gingerbread hangovers, bar fights with southern locals, and 11am drinking curfews. We’re back.
