I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Dimepiece LA celebrity streetwear brand? I cannot proceed to the checkout on Dimepiecela site. I've read in Vanity Fair that they were bought out by a UK-based hedge fund in excess of $50 million. I have just bought the Dimepiece Ball is Life Unisex Heavy Blendâ„¢ Crewneck Sweatshirt from Amazon and absolutely love it xox
