Fat Buddha Store Blog // All the News

So here it is the video we put together of the Fat Buddha x Carhartt Spring Launch Party we held in store last month. Fat Buddha x Carhartt Spring Launch Party from Fat Buddha Store on Vimeo . We really went all out for this one with a specially painted Carhartt window, had the dressing room decorated in Carhartt wallpaper and Carhartt displays throughout the store including the Carhartt x 5Boro display, exclusive to Fat Buddha. A massive thanks to everyone who came along and Carhartt for all of their support. Thanks also to Bier Halle for supplying the drinks and DJ Auntie Flo for providing the soundtrack to the party. Check out the full Carhartt range online here .

In store now we have the classic waterproof windbreaker from France K-WAY.  K-WAY was conceived in Paris in 1965 when Leon Claude Duhammel created a lightweight completely waterproof jacket that could be easily folded into a small hip bag and used to stop getting your clothes soaked when it's pouring with rain.   This practical jacket quickly caught on and people began using it rather than an umbrella.  It has maintained its popularity to this day and has succeeded by using cutting edge fabrics and maintaining the same classic look it began with. In store now we have the Claude Jacket which is a classic looking zip up windbreaker that is perfect for the Spring/Summer months.  We have it in five colourways Royal Blue, Yellow, Orange, Red and Forrest Green.  Available in store and online now !

Oooooh you may not have noticed but today is the dreaded Friday 13th.  For all of you out there that are full of superstition this is considered the unluckiest day of the year! But where does this mad theory come from? According to numerology the number 13 is believed unlucky because the number twelve is considered the number of completeness due to 12 hours in the day, 12 months in a year etc so the number 13 seems pretty quite irregular. Friday has long been considered unlucky as according to christian scripture Jesus was hung on a Friday.  There is also a link to the number 13 from christianity being that there was13 people at the last supper and Judas was the 13th to arrive. Some believe that it is down to Thomas L Lawson's popular book "Friday, the thirteenth" where a broker takes uses people fear of the superstition to create a wall street panic.  And who can forget the slasher movies from the 90's of the same name, although they probably gave people a re...

This Saturday Richie Hawtin, one of the true innovators of electronic music will be bringing his Plastikman live show to Glasgow's beloved Barrowlands, one of only three UK dates, so feel lucky those who managed to get tickets to the now sold out event. PLASTIKMAN Also featuring artists Magda and Ambivalent amongst others from the infamous M-NUS label the show is a must see for techno fans.  With the use of the SYNK app, Hawtin has the ability to control and sync together the music, lighting, audio and visuals live on stage, resulting in an experience that touches all the senses.  I saw the Plastikman live show 2 years ago in Barcelona, and it blew my mind, and with this being the fine tuned 1.5 version of it i'm sure it will be even better!  And where better to see it than Glasgow's iconic Barrowlands, I can't wait for this. Let's just hope I make it into work on Sunday........ Cammy
