Concept

Lapstone & Hammer is a premier lifestyle brand specializing in designer fashion and premium sportswear with an emphasis on artistry, community and craftsmanship. We have established a wholly original retail experience that combines a highly curated selection of unique products with a community-driven mission that includes in-store events at our historic building, local youth mentorship programs and activations that go beyond the typical product launch.

The lapstone & hammer are tools traditionally used by cobblers to make shoes. Our name pays homage to the act of creation in all of its artistic manifestations. Our concept honors the artistry and traditions of the past while fully embracing contemporary culture and fashion. That is what we embody as a brand: taking pride in presenting exceptional products while also using our current tools - a wealth of industry experience, the collective expertise of our creative team, and the vast reach of our social and traditional media platforms - to help develop and spotlight emerging creatives, and engage and assist community organizations in their missions. 

Rooted in the love and passion an artist feels for their craft, the Lapstone & Hammer concept seamlessly blends innovative fashion with a deep commitment to community building, creating a unique shopping experience that not only delights customers but also leaves a positive and lasting impact on the world around us.
