Celebrating their first anniversary this year, Purist Boutique did things in fine fashion with a series of strong collaboration items including Futura Laboratories, The Hundreds, Fiberops as well as Black Scale | Recon. The store has come to define the local San Jose scene with a strong curation of brands as witnessed by their one year anniversary projects. As the focus of our latest Hypebeast Essentials spotlight, we take an in-depth look into the daily essentials of four members of the Purist team.
Kevin – Owner | Buyer
Ms. P
Girlfriend, best friend, partner, personal chef (j/k), and interior decorator. #1 with a bullet. I ended up #6 on her last after the Cholrox Wipes, I’m sure of it.
Foober
Even when the misses won’t watch me play PS3 for 2 hours or enjoy Sportscenter
for the 3rd time at 1 am in the morning, Foobs will.
Watch and Ring
The only real jewelry a guy should wear.
Liquid Diet
Hanger One and Hennessey. Alcohol is a must at the end of everyday and at the beginning of every weekend. One of my favorite drinking quotes:
“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.” -Frank Sinatra
Shoes
The gateway drug for streetwear. A love that began with basketball and perpetuated through fashion.
