Natalie, its so dope to be sitting her with you right now. We have been building a relationship for about 2 years and were excited about bringing people closer to an understanding of what CreativePlayer$ is and what your trying to accomplish with the brand?
That’s wassup, I been looking forward to sharing more about CP$ and of course am glad to do it with BlurVision first.
Dope, tell people what CP$ is ?
CreativePlayers is a collective design brand I created in 2011. I began managing a prominent sportswear boutique in Philadelphia and I was surrounded by various underground artisans of all walks of life from design, arts, music, ect. It was a creative hub were individuals would spend all day talking with me about anything under the Lifestyle umbrella. I wanted to conceptualize the idea of being able to collaborate with these individuals in these different fields of interest and CreativePlayer$ was born.
We actually were involved in some of those conversations, which were informative and passionate between creative individuals. We do miss those days !
LOL, lots of people tell me that but that’s why CreativePlayers is here to continue the repore through our social media sites, designs and interviews like this.
Very Cool, so being a design brand is there one field your most passionate about?
I would have to say designing headwear is my first love. I remember my very first fitted hat in the 5th grade. It was my best friend Jamie’s. It was a powered blue Carmelo Anthony Denver nuggets New Era cap. I remember it like I had it yesterday I wore it everywhere and with everything. The way it made me feel is something I cant explain but hats became my comfort zone. I felt strong and empowered kind of like the feeling wearing a crown would give you.
We personally feel that way wearing the denim buckets and History hats. People of all different walks of life stop us and compliment on them. The custom hats are also a nice treat, even though many companies have adopted the custom headwear style it's something about CPS selection of fabrics which makes them undeniable.
We appreciate your eye for detail. All of our custom headwear items are handmade and have a 10f1 status. One of our core beliefs at CP$ is exclusivity. We pride ourselves in giving our customers a staple conversation piece they can wear with confidence, plus they wont see anyone else in the world with there hat on.
