Cav Empt

Based in Tokyo and taking its name from the Latin phrase "caveat emptor" — buyer beware — Cav Empt was founded by Toby Feltwell, graphic designer Sk8thing and Hishiyama Yutaka in the aftermath of Japan’s 2011 earthquake. Drawing on abstract ideas from film, digital technology and internet culture, the brand has developed a distinct visual language through striking graphics on overdyed t-shirts, hoodies and all-over print shirts. Cav Empt has also collaborated with brands like Nike and Vans, bringing its conceptual edge to iconic footwear silhouettes.
