GUAM BRANDED: Mariana Island Clothing REvolution

Its been over 15 years for fokai  in the clothing industry and we we decided to try and take count the others who decided to trek in the same path…Let it be said that Props goes to Chelu and Tribz who have been around before we have.  Though we tread ona different path–we have alot of respect for them in going out to create not just a product, but aname and path behind a product.

Its real uplifitng to see how our people have recognized that we have a voice worth speaking, a flavor worth sharing, and an effort worth pursuing.   Apparently our island, its visitors, and friends&family have decided that we have a message worth hearing, an offering worth receiving, and an attempt worth supporting.

Our estimated account was initially 3o or so but, even though we might have missed some–we were surprised to see that the count has gone way above that.

As we have remembered and in  no particular order–here is a list of Guam clothing brands we can remember–no offense to those we may have missed. there definitely must be some.
1.Chelu  2.Tisu.  3.Masmai   4. Tomba  5. Bad Habit. 6.TheHigherCulture  7.Shoyoroll   8.Guahan Soldier   9. Rasta&Company  10. LongLive   11.Sensi. 12. Affiliated Lifestyles. 13. Oba Skoba  14.

ForReals 27.DoubleDuece.  28.Spike22 29.Ruckus 30.Kakanu 31.Fa’nui 32.Nova  33.MoyaBrand  34.ENE Wear 35.TaoTaoTasi 36.Yamak  37.BebeJuice  38.BabbaDaggan  39. GuamHottie  40.Fakai 41.

81. Swell 82. Dead Rat Cartel   83.Solid 84. Black Neck 85.Subdue

86. Songi  87.TheNative  88.

Wow. With many out there to make their mark–that’s over 70 brands that have sprouted in the island within the last 15years. Saipan & Rota have about had a shot at 10 or possibly more local brand ventures to add to the count..again in nor particular order

CNMI BRANDS.

1. Hagu Next   2. FottenGaga. 3. Salbahe.  4.Choke Chain Athletics. 5. Zengzung.  6. Fa’um  7. Island Rebel.  8. Stress Free  9. Marianas Pacficku  10. Pongai  11. Lina’la Isla  12.VXTABU  13. Zamack  14. Magas   15. Zalaka  14. Pikaboo

Although several have been inactive for some time npw…More than happy to see many of these brands still alive and fluorishing.

There really is a lot to learn from everybody. From many– as much as it is a business venture its an artistic adventure.  Thankfully–our island has been very receptive to the rise of local tshirt brands that have accumulated impressively over the years.in the end with the consumer as the winner—pressure builds for those still in motion to improve not just in teh quality of their prodcut but now more than ever–into the experience of the labe.  We look forward to the count going higher. It definitely helps to keep us all on our toes

Props and Respect to connecting with those on the path.

Guam Forever
