A newer brand to our collection ‘CHPO' has been putting in the work by creating pieces that collaborate and donate through charities such as the SkatePAL and the Ben Raemers' Foundation. You’ll find recycled materials in every piece as well as vegan leather, The Ben Watch helps support The Ben Raemers Foundation which aims to end the stigma that often clouds issues of mental health within the skateboarding community.
