Well I will follow my fellow dutchman from ^^^^
I'm Jan, I live in the Netherlands, in a small town near Rotterdam.
just a few people here know bape, and I got to know it through a fape(very embarrassed)
I am 17 years old and this is how i got to know bape--> I saw somewhere online the white baby milo junkfood hoodie and bought it. when I was looking further on the internet I learned about bape/fape.
I don't have a big collection, for instance I have 1 bbc shirt and the bbc cap(nyc version) and I am waiting for my cotton candy hoodie from pondon.(that's about it).
I don't like bape cause it's bape. there is also a lot of stuff that I don't like (the shark for example, cool idea, but not my style) So I definitely don't claim to be a collector. I just like Bape but only buy it if I really think it's worth the money and it's my style.(I have to buy it myself so I don't have money for a lot of stuff)
