Origin from Tokyo, NGAP is a celebrated Harajuku interior design team. Born on functionality of woodwork and painting, NGAP Canvas Tote was launched in the 1990S. A signature product, the oversize NGAP Canvas Tote ‘Bed Edition’ was an extreme famous item in Harajuku history, and they also collaborated with A BATHING APE® to make a special exclusive version. All woodwork in the THINK SILLY STORE was responsible by NGAP, as their oversea debut project. It serves as a showcase for Hong Kong visitors alike.

NGAP and Jun Takahashi of Under Cover are regular collaborators. The Tokyo Aoyama Under Cover store has always been the stockist of NGAP clothing, and the interior of Jun Takahashi studio was handled by NGAP. Back in active state, NGAP announced a collaboration with Neighborhood in 2008. Come 2009, NGAP and Under Cover are collaborating on a full collection. NGAP proposes puppy as an overall theme. Canvas Tote on the sleeves, on the side, leather handbag, waist bag, nylon waistband and cycling trouser strap and T-shirt, it is a combination of eye-catching colours and adorable emblem. A grown-up style shirt comes complete with a ink-splash-like embroidery, channeling the NGAP interior team image and Under Cover fine craftsmanship.
