"The first few hours of Camp Flog Gnaw are for shopping. Beyond the star-studded lineup - which features performances from Asap Rocky, Doechii, and Childish Gambino this year - the festival, hosted by Tyler the Creator, is known for spotlighting the rapper's clothing brands, like the streetwear-inspired Golf Wang and Golf le Fleur, his luxury brand. For fans, it's not only an opportunity to see their favorite artists, but also"
""When we buy clothes from Tyler, we're always thinking about how rare it is. He always has limited drops and a limited [amount of] product," said Whittier resident and longtime fan Carlos Alcaraz. "Getting access to these items is definitely a perk of coming to the fest. We all know that when we get here, there's going to be exclusive stuff.""
"Alcaraz spent $750 on merchandise and was pleased to get his hands on the Dodgers-inspired Camp Flog Gnaw jacket. It's a piece, he expects, that will sell out quickly, as it wasn't available online at all. All around the festival grounds, there are several tents dedicated solely to Flog Gnaw merchandise, with elongated lines. There are also yellow tents selling only Golf Wang, and there's a Converse pop-up with Golf le Fleur, where shoppers are able to sit down and try on the in-demand shoes."
Camp Flog Gnaw devotes its early hours to shopping, highlighting Tyler the Creator's brands Golf Wang and Golf le Fleur. Fans pursue exclusive collaborations and rare pieces, sometimes unavailable online, creating long lines at multiple merchandise tents and a Converse pop-up for Golf le Fleur shoes. Many attendees carry bright yellow 'Golf' bags and rent lockers to secure purchases. Some buyers spend hundreds, such as a fan who spent $750 on a Dodgers-inspired jacket expected to sell out quickly. The festival blends limited-edition fashion releases with a star-studded musical lineup, making merchandise a central attraction.
