This past weekend Palace Skateboards took the ?Brand Of The Year? award at the first annual Bright Tradeshow Awards in Berlin.

Conceived by Lee Tanju a little over two years ago with the help of SlamCitySkates, Palace has grown into the largest domestic skate brand in the UK and now has solid distribution partners all over Europe, Japan and Australia.

Everyone at Palace is totally stoked to win this award. A host of Palace European Tours and a video project are planned in 2012 along with a number of exciting collaborations so watch this space.


We need distribution in the United States for Palace.

i hope it stays pure in europe. it's a really good company and given that the owner isn't trying to mass produce and try to compete against all the big names over here, it sounds like they've got something really good going on in europe.

Business 101

It's better to be a big fish in a small pond, then to be a small fish in a big pond.

I hope they stay in europe and continue to stoke me out here in the US.

My shop's had Palace on the wall along with Magenta for the longest time.  They don't sell.  But they look good on the wall and it's rad to support the little guy more than the big one.

Palace and Magenta are well received but alot of places wont carry them because they are really expensive, I think they sell to shops at like 45 a board, shops would barely make any money off those prices. Gotta love that exchange rate.

good stuff, palace is fucking rad.

I was thinking the other day how palace has effectivley replaced blueprint.

until recently people thought english people looked like this, classic drinking tea etc, and so the UK was represented by blueprint



But after the london riots our image has changed to this and is more represented by palace

yeah, god forbid someone put some direction, thought, and concept into their product....sounds like you should stick to blind and world industries...

and the reason its expensive (if some of you would actually read the thread) is because of the exchange rate of the US dollar, and the cost of shipping it overseas.  its not like these dudes are making Supreme money by rebranding a bunch of lighters and keychains. 

Palace is one of the only companies out now doing something unique and fresh.  i guess that frightens you?

to be fair their clothes are expensive, i live in the UK (so no shipping cost) and their hoodies are still ?90, but lev said that its because they only use the best materials with quality manufacture rather than screen printing a load of cheap shit. i got a hoodie for christmas and i must say the quality is the best hoodie ive had so hes not wrong there.
