Today i would like to introduce you to BlackGrapes. Bo and Gee are the founders of the BlackGrape clothing line based out of the Bay Area, San Francisco. with the influences of the skateboard culture, underground music and graffit art, the BlackGrape was established from the streets. It didn’t matter that they were raised around the hustle, gang culture or the lure of fast money. these guys stayed true to their roots and formed the streetwear movement known now as the BlackGrapes.

Now, there is always some symbolism or meaning behind every brand and the BlackGrapes are no different. the “Black” is used to represent achievement, like Chris said “its like receiving a Black cap and gown for graduation. the grapes, when processed correctly, have the potential of becoming something better than expected, like a fine bottle of wine”. this is truly a unique outlook on a brand that promises to pay homage to the pioneers that paved the way for them. Streetwear is not only a business to them but also a passion they hope to incorperate into their designs.

right now you can catch most of the BlackGrape collection at their web store. Make sure to check out their blog to voice your opinions on the brand and designs. they want to hear from you, the customers. they want to include a showcase of success stories that match their own struggles. Chris has one more thing for you all.” If you’re willing to process yourself against all odds, you can become something that everyone can appreciate. In the end, BlackGrapes is the individual”. well said.
