Heaven Sent is a CLYW sub-brand, operated and directed by Alec Campbell. Their first release, the Creep, is a 56 mm yoyo with a throwback organic shape and some gloriously weird videos (including this one) to promote it. There are just a few pieces left at HeavenSent.rip, and no plans to make any more.
Heaven Sent, the new CLYW sub-brand created and curated by Alec Campbell, is launching their first collection on Saturday, October 29th at 1 pm EDT, only at HeavenSent.rip.
The first collection includes hats, t-shirts, and two colorways of the Creep, an organic shaped yoyo that has been generating a ton of buzz from everyone who has tried it.

Full disclosure: I have a prototype Creep, it’s my favorite, I competed with it at Worlds, I haven’t been this excited about a yoyo release in a while.
