One of UNDERCOVER's sub-labels MADSTORE UNDERCOVER taps the talents of Japanese graphic and tattoo artist TAPPEI on a new collection together. The capsule is made up of unique one-off designs accompanied by three new tee designs. The one-off items are made from used apparel that is detailed with a variety of illustrations all over along with hand embroidery.
The three graphic tees come in the base foundation of black and white before being adorned in visuals that are true to TAPPEI's style. The classic UNDERCOVER bears are also detailed in the artist's flower drawings. The long-sleeved tops are designed with a scenery visual that is paired with the U logo and the slogan that reads “WE MAKE NOISE NOT CLOTHES”
