Greer's OC

Yoki Shop recently relocated to a new store in Newport Beach on the Coast Highway. The shop is the brainchild of its owner and founder, Jeff Yokoyama, a longtime surf industry veteran who designs Generic Youth, Yoki’s Garden and Pidgin Orange clothing lines based on three tenets he strongly believes in: design, make and sell different.

Purchasing a Yoki Shop apparel item is like taking home a piece of history, whether it be an iconic USC football jersey repurposed into a skirt for Yoki’s Garden; a beach towel that once traveled to a tropical beach and is now a pair of hip shorts or a hoodie; or an interior designer bolt of fabric that’s been made into a cool Generic Youth jacket. Yokoyama is committed to non-waste, repurposing materials and manufacturing local. The collections are mostly made from salvaged materials and many are one of a kind. Stop by the new store to pick up a hoodie, tank top, hat, board shorts, tee’s, aprons, popular Fight On Fingers logo apparel and more ideal for USC Football games.

Open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.

2429 West Coast Highway, Suite 102 in Newport Beach. 949.650.5511.
