Renewing the Digital Presence of an Established Clothing Enterprise

Our friends at Paperhood came to us for a brand refresh, and a new website that fit their growing needs. Paperhood has been working in the garment industry since 1923 and are proud to be a family-owned business raised in NYC. While they were working hard to provide the people of New York their custom garments expertise, we developed a clean and impactful brand, with a touch of the street attitude that the original founder, Sam, brought to the business. The result was a Paperhood brand that expresses their no-nonsense expertise and represents the creatives of New York.
