The Ape’s out of the bag!
On Monday, the Bored Ape Yacht Club revealed that its latest members only drop is coming tomorrow afternoon, when Bored Apes and Mutants will have the chance to claim a free crossbody bag!
“The first of many things we're making for members ,” the BAYC tweeted. “Available to claim tomorrow, August 25 at 2pm PT / 5pm ET at https://store.bayc.com while supplies last.”
These sling style crossbody bags are anything but boring, sporting a matte black finish, a gold Ape skull emblem near the bottom, and a zipper pull emblazoned with the phrase “COLLECTORS COLLECT.”
Inside, the bags are lined with “BAYC” spellouts and logos and feature a stitched “COLLECTORS COLLECT” label marking the piece as a limited-edition work made for the best club on the internet!
Tomorrow’s crossbody bag claim is just the latest member merchandise drop to come out of the swamp.
As the Gazette previously reported, apparel and fashion have been a point of emphasis for Michael Figge since he stepped in as Yuga Labs CEO back in April.
Over the last four months, BAYC has worked with artists and designers like King Saladeen and Sean Wotherspoon as part of a broader push to put the “Yacht Club” back into the Bored Ape Yacht Club through more intentional design, aesthetics, and storytelling.
“We’ve also been thinking about what it actually means to be a Yacht Club - not just the name, but the feeling behind it,” the BAYC tweeted in April. “That’s starting to take shape. From here on out, you’ll see it show up more clearly in our apparel, our collaborations, and an aesthetic that finally does the Yacht Club name justice.”
Tonight, we do not know how many bags will be available to claim. However, Figge confirmed that both Bored Apes and Mutants will be eligible to participate when the claim opens tomorrow at 5 P.M. ET.
