Presented as part of the Infinite mile series on gentrification, this article considers “bougie crap” as consumables that evidence wealth, power and discriminating taste under the pretense of an evolved palette, a demand for higher quality and the development of a social conscience. This paper examines the “partnership” between Shinola and the College for Creative Studies and the ethics and effects of this collaboration on design, education and gentrification.
