Bomb Story: Les Miserables by Victor Hugo was one of Bobby Hundreds’ favorite books and plays as a youth. The tragic epic of Jean Valjean is a classic depiction of the Hero’s journey, one that any artist or creator can relate to. What’s interesting is that the artwork is arguably more memorable than the story itself: an etching by Gustave Brion.| Background Story: Our earliest adopters know JAGS as The Hundreds' signature pattern, in the vein of Louis Vuitton's monogram or a Burberry plaid. Bobby taught himself how to design graphics through the Adobe Suite. His first Photoshop ""doodle"" was taking the pen tool and making these jagged shapes. Years later, we would coin this repeating print on clothing, leather belts and wallets, BMX bikes, snowboards, and marketing materials as ""JAGS."" Although still used across the collection, JAGS sums up the 2000s era of The Hundreds.
