Pistache Clothing Ltd was
established in 2003 in London, by brothers Nick Bennett
(screen printing graduate) & Jamie Bennett
(marketing graduate). Since then, Pistache Clothing has been
dedicated to it's mission - providing the best quality Urban Hip
Hop Apparel for today's
youth. Pistache Clothing
stands for Artist Quality Screen Printing by Hand, Innovative &
Artistic Design, Durable Construction & Unique Limited Edition
Clothing.
The brand started by clothing artists from the UK Hip
Hop scene & then all sorts of musicians following different beats - Yungun, DJ Vadim, Yarah Bravo, Mr Thing, Asaviour,
DJ Excalibah, Nigel NK, Harry Love, MC Wrec, The Infadels, Soweto Kinch,
Tommy Evans, Verb T, DJ IQ & GTA to name a few.
Pistache Clothing branched out from the UK Hip Hop &
music scene & now has it's own Skate & Surf Team of
underground boardriders, Marco Vicari, Karl Frampton, Eugene Tollemache
& Louis Selby. Collaborations with underground artists & graphic designers like
Nature323, Board-Chicks, Lady Luck & Daz have kept the designs fresh.
Pistache Clothing quickly adapted to the global market and
established relationships with independent urban & hip hop retailers in the USA, Japan,
France, Spain & Belgium. However, Pistache Clothing's main focus has always been
online retailing, forming direct relationships with their customers &
providing them with the ability to get involved & fully customize all aspects of their
clothing.
Pistache Clothing is making the brand even more eco-friendly by growing a
sustainable Paulownia plantation on 4.5 acres of disused agricultural
land. The O2 produced should more than offset the CO2 produced
from manufacturing and shipping their clothing worldwide.
Following in the
footsteps of the original urban clothing brands like Stussy & Fresh
Jive, Pistache Clothing is becoming one of the hottest brands in the
Urban Fashion & Hip Hop scenes & present in many different
subcultures. Pistache is sticking to the core ideals of it's original mission.
