Keep Patient...

Ok, so it has been over a month since the last blog post and over a month since the last post on our Facebook page and I've been in-undated with people who want to know whether Kapow is still going. Well here is your answer. I am sorry for the lack of content on our internet pages of late but trying to juggle Uni work, working tirelessly over the Christmas period and setting up a new company is a hard task and the Uni work and paid work had to take priority. I intend to put my full attention into Kapow and don't want to start it up until I can. I don't want it to be 'just another clothing brand'. There are so many other clothing companies out there and over the last couple of months, I've been working on producing designs which will help us stand out from the rest. Now that the hectic Christmas period is over and I have finally produced a range of designs which I believe are worthy of putting on clothing, I finally feel that Kapow is ready to hit the streets.
I am not going to set an official launch date, you'll just have to keep checking our blog and Facebook page, but believe me, it's going to drop BIG! I've recieved so much positive feedback on the designs and many people have supported Kapow through buying the griptape, which will be back in stock within the next couple of weeks.
Thanks for the support and Keep Patient, the launch will soon come.
Elliott
