Eya and I were chillin’ at the Barnes and Nobles (while waiting for our movie), reading a few books that caught our eyes at first glance. I got into Pieter Hugo’s book called ‘The Hyena and Other Men’ (highly recommended) when I realized that a certain somebody from Crooks and Castles was in the joint. It was BJ, Dennis' (C&C originator) brother. We talked for a minute about how the company has grown from the bottom up, to put it plainly. He told us they feel blessed to be where they’re at the moment and have a lot more in store for us in the future. I mean BIG things ahead of any other Filipino designers that have done it prior to. Apparently, a NYC and SFC Crooks store build outs are in progress. I told him I was feelin’ the Mosley Tribes collabo sun glasses the most out of everything they had out last year. He told us that Oliver Peoples made the most out of the deal and that Crooks is currently on the grind producing their own frames and eye wear to avoid any turnover miscalculation. Oh, and he was with his son and daughter who was pushing some LV tote given to her by her uncle which BJ claimed “…spoils the hell out of her”. I’m very happy for Crooks getting so far in this thing we call the Game because many fall out sooner than it took them to get in. All the best to the Fairfax chapter and the whole Crooks family Mafioso. Everybody that's residing in Philippines and are interested in Crooks products, go visit Greyone at any of their two locations in Manila or fly to the one in Taipei
