Peddlers Gin Company recently teamed up with three local artists to develop custom, limited release labels for our gin bottles. These limited edition art prints are part of a new Peddlers series Love Your Local, an initiative that supports local artists and businesses across China. The series will include custom designed labels from Plastered8 studio in Beijing, Nini Sum from IdleBeats in Shanghai, and OMACKE, based in Shenzhen. Each design was inspired by the theme ‘community' and will have a limited release of 500 per label.

To celebrate the series, we’re hosting launch events Beijing on June 13. The launch event will be at Plastered 8 on June 13th, from 2-5PM, with complimentary Peddlers Gin tastings and cocktails and the artists’ designs on display. You can pick up your favourite artist label bottle (or all three if you can’t decide) at either The Black Moth or The Vending Machine after the launch event. There will also be a special Peddlers Gin menu at The Black Moth for the after party, which will run from 8PM – late. The Vending Machine will also have a Peddlers Gin menu available.

Plastered 8 T-shirts take iconic imagery from the streets of Beijing and celebrates it. Everyday design is inspiration – working with artists around the world, Plastered 8 puts these images on t-shirts in a celebration of everything beautiful about Beijing.
