Hi everyone,

We are Hide and Sea and we are a new street wear label from Melbourne, Australia.

We have heavy influence from the tattoo, skate and hip hop culture.

We are 2 weeks in, currently selling online, with our thread to hit stores in the next coming months.

please check us out on:

We hope to learn, and to give back through this forum.

It seems to me that you're not really bringing anything to the table here. Are there plans to expand past just tees?

@TheOttosauraus

Yes most definately. As i said, we are 2 weeks in, beanies are currently getting embroided, aswell as winter stock (crew neck jumpers, hoodies) about a month away

Feels like you're about ten years late with the aesthetics, I'm afraid. These kind of prints were being sold by awful brands like Atticus and Made back in the mid-2000s. They weren't very good then and they're not very good now.

Who has no interest in the tattoo scene? Apart from the fact I'm writing a book on the history of tattooing, and am convered in tattoos by some of the best tattooers on the planet? Yeah, what do I know?!

Just trying to say you're putting out clothes friends of mine were wearing better versions of ten years ago, and which several Hot Topic-y brands, like the aforementioned Atticus, Made and Famous were selling to badly-dressed teenagers as far back as, what, 2002?

No disrespect, but your designs are derivative, boring and late.

He's also the one who would buy your ****. Don't alienate customers as a new startup.
