Few, if any, jewelry stores so perfectly typify American/Latino pop cultures — and specifically, the "L.A. scene" - like Han Cholo.
"I was born and bred in L.A., and I make things I grew up on that I liked," said Brandon "Han Cholo," a former skater, musician and DJ who worked for the Beastie Boys for six years (where, as a Mexican-American and admitted big-time "Star Wars" fan, he acquired the "Han Cholo" handle)."

Y tu, Bitman & Roban – what are you proud of?
"We're proud of representing the Chilean hip-hop/electronica scene.
(It's) a scene that has been around awhile and is growing, but now with our videos on channels like MTV Tr3s we are reaching a U.S. audience that might not have heard us before."
Awesome jewelry! Skaters rule.
