RS4 – Ready to Open?!
Finished (and I use that term loosely) setting up the space today. Merchandised a bit of the product, Y-3 and adidas SLVR. I think there will be some Comme des Garçons perfumes brought in as well. Poznan is a lucky town… Great help from and thanks to his new Poznan crew. Pictures coming when I am back!
