Earlier this month Elliot Miln of bottomdrawerfinds hosted a pop-up shop down at Perth Skatepark. A day filled with tees, tinnies and tunes.
The event saw appearances from other park-local businesses such as Atomic Skateboards and Skowl Clothing, with live DJ sets from Cosmic Records.
Elliot carefully handpicked these brands. “Cosmic Records are quality; I work with them through my own music, so it was really cool for them to come down,” he mentioned. “This is the first time that a DJ has come down to the park and played.”
Sam Tuckwood, founder of Atomic Skateboards, had bits to say about the day.
“I thought it was really good – loved the music from Cosmic. Massive thanks to Elliot for having us down.”
We caught Skowl for a quick chat about their brand.
“With our brand, all our profits go back into fixing the lights here at the park. Once they’re sorted, we’ll fix other little bits and help with different parks and stuff like that. So we’ll do every and any single one of these pop-ups that there’ll be.”
We can’t wait for the next pop-up – and neither can Elliot.
“I’ll definitely be doing something like this again in the future,” he said. “Even in other skateparks across Scotland. Now I know it’s possible.”
In the meantime, you can catch bottomdrawerfinds at Otherlands next month.
