Bored Ape Ventures ventures into the fashion world! BAYC collaborates with the trendy brand BAPE and will debut at ApeFest in Hong Kong.

BAYC's parent company Yuga Labs announced a collaboration with the international streetwear brand A BATHING APE BAPE, launching co-branded merchandise and exciting fans. BAYC and BAPETAVERSE NFT holders will have early access to pre-order, with plans to also be available in BAPE's global physical stores in the future. More information is expected to be revealed at the year-end ApeFest in Hong Kong.

Monkeys, Unite, Strong!

Following a tweet last night, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) supporters caught wind of the collaboration between BAYC and the trendy streetwear brand BAPE.

Yuga Labs emphasized in a press release that the collaboration between the two brands aligns well with values such as community, free-spiritedness, and casual luxury, embodying the essence of both brands:

We have partnered with BAPE to reimagine iconic designs, eager to best interpret the fusion and impact of Harajuku and BAYC.

It is understood that holders of BAYC and BAPE's metaverse brand BAPETAVERSE NFTs will have exclusive early access to a limited-edition series of clothing and accessories.

Furthermore, this series will debut at ApeFest on November 4, where fans of BAYC can purchase in person or online, while BAPETAVERSE NFT holders can make their purchases online.

The BAPE metaverse account, BAPETAVERSE, expressed:

We are delighted to collaborate with top Web3 teams, and this series will soon be available for sale at BAPE STORE physical outlets worldwide and on the BAPE official website.

Hong Kong Bored Ape Festival ApeFest 2023

BAYC previously announced that the annual ApeFest will take place from November 3 to 5 in Hong Kong, a city where crypto regulations are gradually taking root, centered around the PMQ and Kai Tak areas.

According to the announcement on the official website, this year's ApeFest will feature more exploration of the city, community, and immersive virtual experiences, departing from the music-focused theme of last year. With the Hong Kong Fintech Week also taking place during the same period, Bored Apes are expected to be seen all around Hong Kong.

It is reported that users holding BAYC or MAYC will be able to attend for free with a guest and enjoy the festivities together.

Prior to this, Yuga Labs announced its gradual withdrawal from the NFT marketplace OpenSea last month following the platform's change from mandatory to optional creator fee collection, stating that their actions were in support of NFT creators' rights and against market compliance.
