Born from the streets of New York in 1997, STAPLE is a globally recognized brand that blends street culture, design, and the spirit of New York City. It all started when jeffstaple—then a student at Parsons School of Design—walked into a downtown NYC boutique wearing a self-printed tee from his silkscreen class. He wasn’t trying to start a brand. But he walked out with a 12-piece order. That moment lit the spark — and STAPLE was born.
