NEWS: DOPEstore MINI @GRIFFIN SESSION's

Today we take a look at our POP-UP store that we had up last weekend @ the GRIFFIN SESSIONS.We called the store DOPEstore MINI.The idea behind the store was to take a little part of each section from the main store and kinda try to lay things out as you would expect them at the flagship store.We tasked our design wing to put the project together and judging by the reviews from the people who visited our MINI store,we can say they did a great job.

Also some of our famous friends came by to say was'sup to the team!
