New York based men’s fashion store Psycho Bunny, which specializes in “4,000 stitch bunny-embroidered polos”, is scheduled to open this Friday, September 30, at Westfield Montgomery Mall (7101 Democracy Blvd). The clothing line currently has collaborations with Daddy Yankee, Justise Winslow, and Jay Versace. Psycho Bunny will be located on the bottom level of the mall.
From their website: “We could have done what everybody else was doing. But we didn’t. Instead we set out to make the perfect polo and the most luxurious tee you’d ever wear. And that’s exactly what we’ve done. Our Pima cotton is woven from longer, smoother fibres. This has a number of benefits, most important of which is that it gives the fabric an incredibly soft on-body feel. The longer fibres are more durable, too—less prone to warping and tearing, while retaining their colored dye considerably longer than traditional cotton.”
