I think it’s safe to say The Hundreds x Garfield Clothing and Accessory Collection is one of the most unexpected collaborations we’ve seen in some time. The Blot loves me some Garfield, but I don’t see the synergy between these two brands. Regardless, it’s here and some of the stuff is actually pretty cool. The Hundreds has even opened up a The Hundreds x Garfield Pop Up Shop, which will be hosting a Garfield Art Show (featuring art by Dave Kinsey, Buff Monster, DEPH, Alex Pardee and many more). You definitely can’t say The Hundreds is not going on all out in support of this collaboration!
According to Bobby Hundreds, “Garfield not only inspired, but also taught me how to draw cartoons. And decades later, it’s painfully obvious that much of my sense of humor came from the fat cat as well. So in a collaboration that is literally decades in the making, The Hundreds teams up with Garfield to create an exclusive collection available for a limited time, and recreate a nostalgia that everyone can relate to.”
Some of The Hundreds x Garfield Collection will be available worldwide and online, while certain releases will be exclusive to specific The Hundreds locations (like The Hundreds x U.S. Acres Collection). The Blot loved the U.S. Acres Saturday morning carton, so it’s really cool to see these characters brought back to life as part of The Hundreds x Garfield collection!
The Hundreds x Garfield Pop-Up Shop is located at 416 Broadway, Santa Monica, CA and will be open for the entire month of December. For those of us who don’t live in California, you can also purchase certain items from The Hundreds x Garfield Collection via The Hundreds online store here.
