Coming This Spring / Summer 2010

Nothing Like The Holidays

If you've seen the movie "Nothing Like The Holidays" then you know Beau Monde made a cameo in the movie. If you haven't, I suggest you go watch it right now. Not only is it a great holiday movie filmed in Chicago, one of the actors in the movie rocks one of the first series Beau Monde New Era's. Look for the parade scene to see what I'm talking about. Big shout out goes to Mr. Johnny Bravado for making this happen.

Starring: John Leguizamo aka Benny Blanco, Luis Guzman and Debra Messing

The Midcoast F.Show 2009

Check out the flyer below for more details on the Midcoast F.Show 2009. Many of the boutiques in the city such as St. Alfreds, Jugrnaut and Beau Monde will be sponsoring the event. Hellz Bellz, Amongst Friends and Sir & Madame are some of the brands that will be showcasing their line at the show. This event is aimed to unite the Midwest aka the Midcoast and show everyone out there that we are original and we are making moves to put Chicago on the map in fashion.

New Rogue Status & DTA

We just got a fresh shipment from Rogus Status / DTA ranging from accessories to a tee. The gunshow seems to run rampant in the design of the accessories. We got the gunshow velcro wallets, lasered leather wallet and belts. Also in is a Rogue Status x Mighty Healthy collabo tee. If you need a new wallet or something to hold your pants up, we got you. See the evidence below for yourself.

Reeboks On The Block

We just got a new Reebok model in, the Fuze 1.0 Vulcanized. This model goes for a more formal aesthetic with lots of straps and a zipper located on the back. It is definitely one of the more futuristic models we've seen here but it still looks on point. Also fresh from Reebok are the Dee Brown Pumps. We got them in the original black colorway and the white colorway. Check the pics for a better look or even come by the shop and see the greatness in your own eyes and hands.

We've Been Busy...

But that doesn't mean we don't have new product in. Expect posts coming soon from our new shipments we recieved from 10 Deep, Reebok and Married to the Mob. We just got the Holiday '09 shipment from 10 Deep, the Dee Brown Pumps from Reebok and some new tee's from Married to the Mob. Be on the look out very soon for the pics and stop by to see what came in!

Black On Both Sides

Not exactly like the classic Mos Def album of the same name, Reebok decided to make a pump with an all black colorway. You can't go wrong with a pair of black kicks to bless any outfit you choose to wear. Clean and very simple. Add these to your collection because you know you can't go wrong here.



ALSO, the Sole Search application has been successfully updated and now you can enter in any city and it will find that sneaker spot you need to go to. Go download the application for that iPhone / iTouch of yours and be on top of the game!

Casio came through with more G-Shocks. We got the blue metallic 6900 to finish up the metallic pack that just dropped. Also, a white 5600 is available at the shop so come on through and get them while they're hot, much liked baked goods.

The Sinners

Reebok finally sent us the last installment of the 7 Sins pack. The "Lust" and "Wrath" pumps came in bearing a blue and red colorway respectively. If you want to complete the set then now is your chance. We also got a olive green and red / black plaid pump which is perfect for the Fall season. Check out the pictures below or stop by the shop to see them in person.

The Sole Search iPhone / iTouch Application

So you heard us talk about it here and there and well, it's about time that you get it for yourselves. The Sole Search application can find any boutique and any shoe spot in the world. Some of the features still have work to be done but given next week, if you purchase it now even, you'll have a full update that will be given its full potential. Give it your location and it will bless you with all the spots you need. If you have an iPhone or an iTouch, spend .99 cents and get yourself this application. It's already in the store and ready for purchase. Big shout out goes out to the Perseverer fam for making this happen. Support these fellas and give yourselves an advantage over the rest of the sneakerheads.

Now, time for some action.

So This Is A First....

Now, we don't usually post up anything that doesn't pertain to Beau Monde on this blog but this is a pure exception. If you are a Star Wars fan, then this is the item you need in your life. If you don't like Star Wars, keep it moving. So, if you have seen "Empire Strikes Back" then you might remember what a Tauntaun is. If not, a Tauntaun is this creature right here :




In the movie, Luke is forced to cut open and sleep in his Tauntaun to stay warm on the cold planet. Well, looks like the folks over at Lucasfilms gave the OK to create a Tauntaun sleeping bag. The bag is a replica of the Tauntaun in the movie. If you look at the lining in the inside, it even has an intestine print all over. The zipper is also a lightsaber so now you can become an official Jedi Knight. Yes, this is the dopest thing ever and we have every right to post it on here. Check out the pic below. For more info on the sleeping bag of the century, click the link here.

And Even More Watches

We just got more G-Shocks in the other day. The yellow 6900 bares a matte yellow finish while the purple 6900 comes in a metallic colorway. As usual, get yours now before some other guy does and makes fun of you.

Keeping Your Head Fresh

New Era blessed us with more fitteds and even some beanies to keep that noggin warm. We got a Chicago Bulls New Era with the "Grape" and "Bred" colorways. It even has the Jordan 5 "sharks teeth" on the underbill and mesh paneling on the side panel to emulate the shoe. I can go on and on but I'll let the pictures do the talking.
