Rebel8 - the story

Spring means new collections and they all tend to arrive in the shop at the same time. Unboxing madness! One of our favourites this season is Rebel8.
Founded in 2003, REBEL8 is a San Francisco clothing company with deep roots in skateboard, graffiti, and tattoo cultures.

Rebel8

Check out the latest stuff from San Francisco streetwear company Rebel8.

Every graphic by Mike Giant is hand-illustrated. Unlike most clothing graphics, which are created by digitizing the original artwork into vector format, Mike’s graphics are exact reproductions of his original art. No part of the original inked line is compromised in this process, lending an edge of authenticity seldom seen in today’s mass-produced market.
