RIP Schwipe

I just recieved this email, sad to hear that after 10 years in the game, Schwipe has come to an end. Ironic that their last line was called ‘booze, debt, die’?.. I think not. These kids have always seen the lighter side of a situation, as the below email demonstrates. As long as your having fun right?

After 48,000,000 beers, 5,000,000 coffees, 25,000 wines, 2500 hangovers, 1059 pingrz, 950 arguments, 812 ‘islam is ok’ tshirts, 787 pizzas, 654 ‘ketamine is drug for horses’ t-shirts, 546 shit bitch!’, 493 mistakes, 314 little Collins st, 301 anxiety attacks, pantone 198, 150 parties 120 t-shirt designs, 87 damaged goods, 79 delusions of grandeur, 69 illusions, 67 skulls, 54 broken hearts, 31 ‘don’t come’ exhibitions, 35 interviews, 20 ranges, 19 zeitgeists, 18 factories, 17 fabric suppliers, 16 calls from tax office, 15 :)’s, 14 near misses, 13 conspiracy theories, 12 broken promises, 11 websites, 10 years, 9 photoshoots, 8 scams, 7 hate emails, 6 laptops, 5 cease and desists, 4 megaphones, 3 studios, 2 ex-best mates, 1 ambulance ride, $0 profit; it’s over.

that’s right. we’ve killed the schwipe label.
this is it. no more.
we’ve sold the ‘dont come’ store.
we’re in there until saturday 29th august, 2009.

so come grab what we’ve got left.
and say goodbye.
