A Bathing Ape

A Bathing Ape (or BAPE) is a Japanese fashion brand founded by Nigo (Tomoaki Nagao) in Ura-Harajuku in 1993.

Why is BAPE so expensive?

BAPE is pricey because it is an expensive brand for kids with too much money, and its sarcastic handling of its customers has turned out to be one of its major draws. Of course, a premium brand must demand premium prices in order to keep the customer’s perception of it, but there isn’t much else to BAPE

Does BAPE ship to the US?

What makes BAPE so unique are their collaborations with brands such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Marvel, Hello Kitty, Pepsi, and more. The only problem is the A Bathing Ape online shop can’t ship outside of Japan. Luckily, Japan Rabbit is here to help.

Is BAPE still trendy?

Once-coveted rarities like BAPE shark hoodies and insulated snow jackets have become mainstay pieces every season, and the brand’s iconic camo is now one of the most prolific graphics of contemporary street style.

Where is the biggest BAPE store?

At 8,000 square feet, BAPE STORE® LONDON is the largest BAPE STORE® in the world to date, representing the full evolution of the brand through four stories of in-line and collaboration apparel, footwear and accessories.
