Thousand and Poketo Team Up For Helmet Collaboration

Published

Look out, Los-Angeles, the roads are about to get a lot more stylish. Bicyclers can stay safe in style thanks to this dream collaboration between Los Angeles-based companies Thousand and Poketo.

These two businesses have blended their styles to craft helmets that are indicative of the playful self-expression of both brands. Thousand is an urban cycling company that makes vintage-inspired designed helmets and accessories born from founder Gloria Hwang’s distaste for wearing helmets since they were always a bit too Jetsons for her. After losing a friend to a fatal biking accident, she crafted a helmet people would feel excited to wear.

Poketo is a design-focused retail store founded by husband-and-wife team Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung. Born from the mispronunciation of the word “pocket” by Angie’s grandmother, the brand has expanded to a creative hub with five locations across Los Angeles. Their commitment to intentional designs and meaningful partnerships, like their collaboration with Thousand, highlight their taste-maker status in the design field.
