About Us
Hey I'm Marvin, an 18 year old from New Zealand and the Owner of Webstate Clothing.
I’ve always wanted to start a clothing brand since I was a kid. I would design shirts and bags for heaps of random made up brands I could think of.
Then in 2023 I was in high school and we had to do a project for business studies class. At the time I was in a skate group with some of my younger mates and it was called Webstate. Ultimately I wanted to start a clothing brand and I had the idea to put pockets on a hoodie because I never really got why they would put the pouch pocket there when no one really uses it. I also wanted to market it towards skaters for them to store their extra stuff like skate wax, keys, or skate tool for carrying around to their skate spots, as well as the layered elbows to add that extra durability and detail to the hoodie.
We said fuck it and bought the first bulk of hoodies.
After having a slow start and not getting many sales at all, a TikTok blew up overnight and we pretty much sold the entire batch of hoodies. I was so stoked I can remember sitting in class just smiling ear to ear.
Everyone online loved the brand and what we stand for. They loved how practical the hoodie was and how we like to keep things minimal when it comes to branding.
Now we continue to sell the hoodie and are constantly working on creating new products and color ways for our fans.
Stay tuned and see where we go next as we continue to grow the brand!
