Keep X Ooga Booga Minishop Opens This Friday
- story Chioma Nnadi
Keep Company and Ooga Booga have put together a store-within-a-store for the holidays with a little help from their friends like Humberto Leon from Opening Ceremony, Dean Spunt of No Age and Rodarte sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, who curated the art, fashion and music gift ideas. The grand minishop opening happens tomorrow evening at Keep’s Fairfax location where shopping munchies (pickles and jam) will be served. Thankfully lots of the goods on sale sit comfortably under the $100 Xmas gift mark. Flyer after the jump.
