Description:
We have this image in our heads of what happened here. This is probably not true at all, but we don't care. Get your imagination moving, it's good for you. OK Schwipey was walking down Little Lonsdale Street last weekend whereupon he stumbled across the Ksubi guys propping up their weak, fluroescent-banded heads outside their Ksubi warehouse sale, with nothing to shelter themselves from the merciless sun but the giant, one-page ads they had booked in Beat magazine.

Description:
Can't afford rollies, a full tank of juice or even the Express meal at Lounge, but need new threads? Boom. Schwipe is having a warehouse sale. Samples, seconds and old stuff! Note: they are also having an instore sale at Don't Come, and an online sale at Schwipe. Civilized-like, no card tables.
Event: Sales
Stimulus: sound the horns!
We all know that 'warehouse sale' is more often than not code for 'ill-fitting, random, last-season consignment stock', and that it could end in tears as you fist-fight over clothes you neither want nor need. You also have to be prepared to bare all in communal change rooms (tip - wear leggings...) and see the physical embodiment of your over-spending as you hand over notes at a cash-only register.
With an outspoken fashion sense that says ‘Islam is OK’ and ‘H.A.B.I.T KILLS’, Schwipe has built its reputation on the unconventional.
Finally out on its own, the label’s maiden store Don’t Come is damn hard to find but damn hard to leave once you do. With a space saturated in natural light, infinity mirrored changerooms and a gallery in progress, the name might imply that you’re not wanted, but Schwipe have never followed the rules anyway.
