Creative people are forever on the hunt to consume. When things start looking the same, which happens whenever a trend takes off, it’s always refreshing to have your trusty go-to spot where the ideas and items are fresh and affordable. Howkapow is the UK’s latest commercial solution to innovation and underground talent. Opened in December 2010 by the husband-and-wife team, Rog and Cat How, it supports and promotes emerging designers with a stand-out, smile-inducing style. We’re fans, have a look for yourself!
