Pleasures is one of independent streetwear's most culturally sharp brands built on music heritage, subculture reference, and a product line where accessories carry as much weight as apparel. During my year there as a junior graphic designer, I also owned the accessories program end to end: concept, design, vendor sourcing, sampling, and bulk production oversight across headwear, hard goods, and novelty items.

Hard goods pushed into genuine novelty territory ceramic trays, cone burners, chopsticks, keychains, lighters, and enamel pins, all developed from initial concept through final bulk production. Thousands of license plate frames sold, 1000 sets of chopsticks moved, and sellouts across the accessories category season after season. Several pieces became staples that still carry over in the brand's accessory DNA today.

The standout licensed projects were two of the more creatively precise briefs in the program. For Joy Division, I designed a custom salt and pepper shaker set under official license translating one of music's most iconic visual identities into a functional object without losing what makes the IP culturally significant. For the film Hackers, I developed an officially licensed umbrella featuring Angelina Jolie a piece that sold out and demonstrated how a hard good can carry a licensed IP just as powerfully as apparel.
