For anyone from California, the city names chosen for each model are ... puzzling. Cupertino evokes Apple, but the others?
Lafayette is ... a bedroom community for Pixar?
Irvine is the HQ for Taco Bell ...
Fullerton is next to the city where Disneyland is ...
Covina is often confused with West Covina.
All these cities have large Asian populations. Are they the home towns of Dark Knot's founders? Apparently not, since the founder is a New Yorker of Indian extraction. Maybe he was trolled by his employees when he asked for name suggestions?

Cloaca Haha. Thank you for your insight. We are a men's accessories platform, with all of our accessories (outside of our bracelets) named after towns in New England and Upstate New York. Because bracelets can be worn in a more informal capacity, we decided to opt for names of places in California. And we were not trolled by employees:) Thank you for taking the time out to learn our product names though!

CloacaHa! As someone who grew up in Socal, it's funny to see the names of the non-descript cities from my misspent youth (including my hometown) used as the names of mens' fashion accessories. No knock on the product at all. You'd have to know Fullerton or Covina to understand why it's funny - but it's funny :D

CloacaIf your logic is logical at all, then Fullerton should have been Anaheim!

merelysimpleWell, that's the point. The choices are nondescript places, as @GunsOfBrixton noted. Fullerton is more nondescript than Anaheim, which at least has Disneyland.
CloacaFullerton has Fender musical instruments though.
