Known for their 80’s Anime, early 90’s digital internet aesthetics and hip-hop/punk music influences, Stakes is a homegrown brand that has been establishing it’s mark ever since 2012. Driven by it’s ‘Lotus’ logo, Stakes carries their offerings with 3 main principles which are: Rigorous research, mutual respect and self discovery. The birth of the Researcher 2014 collection marked a huge milestone for the brand, their biggest one yet. The collection carried various pieces such as graphic t-shirts (split hem) which is a staple, a sweat anorak, waxed cotton camp hats, an oxford bucket hat and camo lined chino pants.
In 2015, they are coming up with a whole new collection called ‘Don’t Shleep’ which is currently still in the works.
