by Glynis

We have exciting news here at Punch Brand HQ, we’ve been busy designing and developing a new line of crazyheads cotton hoodies. We know how much you love the Black & White Stripe Hoodies, our first batch sold out in weeks. We’ve been working hard to produce the new batch, so we’re happy to announce that we will have the Black & White Stripe Hoodies back in stock by the end of this month!! Not only that, it gets even better… we have new colors! yipeee!!! We have Black & Purple Stripe and Black & Blue Stripe as well. It’s been hard to contain my excitement throughout these last few weeks. But now we’re ready to show them to you!! Ta Da!

Black & Purple Stripe Panda Hoodie

These hoodies are super comfy and can be worn in the winter and spring months. They make a great layering piece as a jacket during spring time. They are made of high quality 95% Cotton/ 5% Spandex French Terry fabric, so they are comfortable and durable. They also have a band on the cuff and the hem. The hood is fully lined with cotton jersey.

In addition, to the Stripe Hoodies, we also have a new Cotton version of our Black Cat Hoodie (finally, I know!) and our White Panda Hoodie with Black Sleeves. So now you can finally wear our hoodies in the Spring and Summer months!! We should have these all posted in our shop by the end of this week. Stay tuned…

The wait is over: Hooded Smitts are here!

by Glynis

What do you get when you combine our original crazyheads smitts with the hood from our hoodies???

The next evolution of function and style of course! The result is our new Hooded Smitts.
Our crazyheads Hooded Smitt is a 3-in one hood, scarf & mitt combo. It features a fully lined hood made from super soft “minkie” fabric and comes in 3 adorable styles- White Panda, Black Cat and Orange Fox. This truly innovative item is great to wear during the Fall and Winter months. It will keep the wearer cozy and warm. The great thing is that they are made right here in Vancouver, BC.

Our original smitts which debuted in Fall 2007 was a 6 foot long 2-in 1 scarf and mitt combo with embroidered paws on the hands. It took a while for it to catch on as it was a totally unique item that nobody had seen before. We designed it to add functionality to an existing accessory, which you could keep your hands warm or use the mitts as a pocket! It grew into one of our most popular items which was available in 8 colorways. Well we saw what was happening in the marketplace and responded with what we feel is a natural evolution of our product line. The hood is cut from the same pattern as our hoodie and what’s great about it is that it’s one size fits all. They do make great gifts too!

New York Comic Con Recap

by Glynis

Hey Guys, so we’re back from New York… actually we got back last week but I just haven’t gotten around to doing my update. Overall it was a successful show for us. One amazing thing was that we got picked up by a store in Sao Paulo, Brasil. So cool. And I got interviewed by a New York based broadcasting company. It felt as though people knew us already even though it was our first time exhibiting in NYC. Something we noticed that may surprise some people, is that New Yorkers are really polite and friendly people. I was impressed by how nice the people are in general, they are some of the nicest people I’ve met considering it’s such a big city. So I want to say a big thank you to everyone who came by our booth. It was great meeting you all. Here’s some pictures I want to share from New York Comic Con 2011.

LIGHTS releases her new album Siberia

by Glynis

Our favorite It-Girl of the moment (and fellow Canadian) Artist LIGHTS has just released a new Album “Siberia”. You may have seen her wearing our white panda hoodie. We’re lucky we’ve had the chance to meet her twice now at Fan Expo. We think she’s fantastic because she produces great music (my favorites are “Drive My Soul” and “Saviour”), has a great sense of style and she’s really nice in person. She’s currently on tour if you want to check her out. Here’s her tour schedule: http://music.iamlights.com/tour/

Here she is talking about the release of her 2nd record Siberia. In her message she talks about the album artwork and inserts which shows a panda watching Steven Seagal action movies, which is pretty rad
