ZILDJIAN



I've been playing drums a long time ago and Zildjan is one of my favorite brand. Their products -symbals- are the best and as designer the font is amazing. They even produce light gloves with really good leather. Will give them hard time driving the bike next summer..

DNM XMAS






This morning was the last delivery for Delay No Mall. New 'Vendome' wallet in Python snake skins. 6 colors are available and quantities are limited...

REJECTED


This was a part David's order to match with his new belt. But I've decided to not give him. That's the Black Needle policy, if I'm not 100% happy with the product, I simply don't deliver.

NECKLACE



Special order for special woman. This necklace is made in Crocodile from Nile and totally made by hand. It should arrive in France just on time!

CALENDAR





Thats the month for new calendar, this one is perfect...

SKATESHOES






I've always been in love with skate shoes since I grabbed my first Etnics (before it became Etnies, long time ago...) and my Airwalk 540. After totally destoying them I tried -for years- to find back these models with lace protection. Yesterday I finally found the new Vans model designed by designer Taka Hayashi, look at these babies.

WARREN





There is a lot to tell you about Mr Warren R.M. Stuart. Owner of the first skate shop in HK / skater / photographer / filmer / addicted to tattoos and a quarter French, haha. He bought one of our leather wallet chain few days ago and mailed me he loved it. Thank you WZA and see you soon, maybe you will make me remove the dust on my board for a ride.

DP




DP is not a shortcut for Deep Purple but for Dave and Paul. They were playing last week-end @ Fringe and s#$&t we couldn't join! Paul are you sure you will not scare those kids with your mohawk?

DAVID II





David is in love with fashion and exotic skins. I made him a black crocodile belt for his Justin Davis buckle few months ago but this time he wanted something a bit more special. He just got his new electric -shiny- blue alligator belt and a brown caiman one.

W650





Amazing job done on a Kawasaki W650. Often compare with the Triumph Bonneville for its engine, the Kawa W650 is a very good base for a custom project.

TOKYO LOWRIDER







Japanese Lowrider scene is as strong as the custom bike scene. Same attention to details, crazy finishing and high quality than the 2 wheels traps. Makuhari Convention Center hosted the event.
