Tokyo Autosalon Starts Today.

Well, we are here again. For the 10th year of going to Tokyo Auto Salon we’ve decided to have a booth showing our love to the country that shows us lots of love in return. We created a Fatlace Only line just for Japan so if you’re in the area, come thru TAS and say hello.

Here’s part 1 of many for this years Tokyo Auto Salon.

About Fatlace

Born in 1999, Fatlace initially started as a blog about the elements of hip-hop, with roots in music, break dancing, and graffiti. In addition to the hip-hop lifestyle we grew up on, cars is a collective interest among the Fatlace family and inevitably was incorporated into our web site. Fast forward and Fatlace has evolved to what you see now, still continuing to grow.

At first, Fatlace in San Francisco's historic Japantown seems like your typical shop with dope beats, comfy sneaks and kids up to no good, but stay a while and you'll discover there's more to us than what is on the surface. You'll soon find out the diverseness within our team and the details that set us apart from the usual street boutique. Be sure to also check out Illest, our Los Angeles shop and if you can't make it out to either, there's always our online store where we carry all of our latest products.
