| Can’t Stop the Crooks |
| We at Crooks & Castles have always routed for the villain
whether it be in a movie, a comic book, a novel, a rap song or everyday
life. Growing up in Los Angeles during the 80's & 90's we became a
part of this villainous lifestyle. Gangs were everywwhere - the hood,
the city, even middle suburbia. Most had no choice but to adapt to
the environment. Some were able to escape or even channel what they've
learned on the street into something lucrative. What caught our attention
in the mid 90's was independent fashion/graphic brands. After years
of learning the in's & out's of the business by starting a brand without
any knowledge of how to start or run a clothing company, we've finally
come to this... "Crooks & Castles"! The concept was easy. "Crooks",
criminals, pimps, hustlers, thieves, etc. And "Castles" those who
got rich by becoming a crook. |
 |
From the robber barons of the early times like the vanderbilts,
the rockefellers, the carnegies to the modern day billionaires - Bill
Gates & Microsoft. Those who stopped at nothing to get their "Castle".
We too hope one day to be the next rich crook. In some of our designs
you might see a familiar icon or logo that we took (stole) and gave
it our own twist. We felt that some high fashion brands only catered
to someone in a certain lifestyle or with a rather large bank account.
Therefore we took what they made and crafted it to fit ours. In all
honesty... who cares. We just really wanted to make some... Hot Shit!
We thank you for supporting Crooks & Castles. Please keep supporting
the Crooks and we'll keep servin up some hot shit!! |
