Follow up: MEET THE MAKERS Event

Stencil1 and Bloomingdales

As many of you know, Stencil1 had the opportunity to be a part of Bloomingdale’s Trunk Show event, Meet the Makers! This event was essentially an opportunity for three craftsmen from Brooklyn to showcase their brand and what their products stand for. Stencil1 creator Ed Roth set up art pieces and items like stencils, journals, hand-made prints, and shirts for guests to see and purchase.

Inspired by street art and a passion for DIY craft, Ed Roth started Stencil1 and evolved it into a cutting-edge design brand. His contemporary stencil work comes in all shapes and sizes, from clothing to furniture to wall art, and his books and TV appearances have inspired a new generation of DIYers to reinvent their clothes and homes.

Craftsmanship. It’s at the core of what we love-from a deftly tailored blazer to hand-burnished wingtips. In truth, our taste for finely crafted pieces goes well beyond wardrobes

Check out these photos from the event!

We would like to thank Bloomingdale’s for this amazing opportunity. It was an honor and one of a kind experience to be surrounded by fellow craftsmen, as well as the guests that supported us. Not to mention, it was a surreal to be placed next to the Burberry, Rag and Bone, and John Varvatos counters. We would also like to thank all of our fans who have supported us through out the years!
