Bape Bathing Ape Plaid Tote/Bag | VERY RARE | NEW!!! 🦍🦧

Brand NEW in package!!! 💯 Released in 2011 The name and logo of BAPE, or A Bathing Ape, are inspired by Nigo's love of 1968's Planet of the Apes and the Japanese idiom "a bathing ape in lukewarm water," which refers to someone who overindulges. The brand received more attention in the United States thanks to Pharrell's popularity, who is recognized for his easy going demeanor and youthful free spirit. However, the brand was still hard to get in the country because there were no American retailers for BAPE. Launched in 1994 by Harajuku, Tokyo musician and graphic designer collective A Bathing Ape, Bape has become one of the world's most influential fashion labels.
