'ASTERISK Archive 001.5 Zine for IDEA' Chronicles Apple Computer's Side Products

Following an initial release at THE SHOPHOUSE’s “SYNTHNERGY” exhibition back in September and a sold-out release at DAIKANYAMA TSUTAYA BOOKS, Hong Kong-based vintage purveyor ASTERISK is now preparing an updated release of its ASTERISK Archive 001 Zine for IDEA.

Titled ASTERISK Archive 001.5 Zine for IDEA, the forthcoming print builds on the collection of images chronicling Apple Computer’s Side Products. Limited to just 100 copies, the in-depth zine breaks down apparel and products tied to the iconic tech company headquartered in Cupertino, California. Aside from noting the official name and date of each item, sizes and measurements are provided to give an accurate view of each important archive piece. It is important to note that each item was painstakingly collected by ASTERISK since its conception and prominence as a Hong Kong cultural staple.

Priced at £30 GBP (approximately $40 USD), take a look at some of the Apple Computer’s items featured in the super-limited ASTERISK Archive 001.5 Zine for IDEA is set to release exclusively via IDEA November 12 above.

002 will be out soon…(hopefully) #Repost @eugandeug with @get_repost ・・・ If you’re into vintage, and specifically Apple vintage pieces, then you know of @weareasterisk in Hong Kong. One of my favourite vintage stores anywhere (sadly closed for now), on my favourite street in HK. Wai probably has one of the most extensive collections in the world. He produced this beautiful zine which is a small peek into his considerable archive. Grab a copy from him or at his pop up @theshophousehongkong . Took a few pics of the spreads. Thanks for sending it over to the mothership Wai ✌️✨
