Palace Product Descriptions : The Selected Archive

This is the official print archive of online product descriptions for the Palace Skateboards brand.

Since its arrival online in 2013, the brand has immediately been noticed with its quirky product descriptions, which have now become cult. Jokes, social commentary and offbeat and unapologetic opinions, the descriptions eschew detail and talk about anything but practicalities.

If we take the example of a jogging, we should normally simply find its composition, its cut and its measurements. But Palace is never satisfied with the bare minimum, we are faced with a "Imagine having a double date with Ellie Golding and Skrillex". These descriptions are often meaningless but that's what makes it original, and Palace never lacks imagination!

To read on the toilet or in a more serious way, this book brings together more than 3,000 descriptions, with many products from different collections.
