PISTACHE BRAND HISTORY - HIP HOP CLOTHING - PRESS RELEASE

(Feel free to use this press release on your website, magazine, blog or anywhere else, but please add a link to our homepage www.pistacheclothing.com from wherever you post the content)

After years working in the fashion industry for brands like American Apparel & Quiksilver, Mr.Moon & Nature323 established their own brand 'Pistache' in London, 2003. Like a fighter with a chip on his shoulder, Pistache has been on a mission.... to produce the best quality screen printed t-shirts available. As well as creating limited edition graffiti caps, skateboards, mixtapes & other artwork, with minimum impact on the environment & maximum impact when you wear them. Pistache doesn't use any machinery in the screen printing process, it's all done by hand with eco-friendly inks.
Before Pistache, Mr.Moon was an MC with renowned UK Hip Hop Crew Dupa Styles (with Yungun, Devise & Harry Love) & member of pirate hip hop radio station Parlay FM. So, naturally Pistache started out by clothing personal friends from the UK Hip Hop scene. Since then, Pistache has made all sorts of organic music connections with artists like DJ Mr Thing, Yarah Bravo, Asaviour, DJ Vadim, DJ Excalibah, Guru, Mark De Clive Lowe, Nigel NK, Harry Love, MC Wrec, The Infadels, Soweto Kinch, Tommy Evans, Evil Ed, Verb T, DJ IQ, GTA, Chima Anya, DJ Stirfry, DJ Kojak & Infinite Potential.
Pistache has been featured in a load of magazines like fashion industry bible Streetwear Today, Japanese fashion magazines Street Jack & Spymaster, as well as Touch, UK Hip Hop mag Undercover, Hooker, Blowback, Who's Jack, Hip Hop Connection, Wavelength, Pit Pilot, Carve & Bomb Alert. Pistache has also been Graffing some Custom Kicks & Caps for a new TV show which is hosted by Radio 1Xtra's Mistajam & features UK Hip Hop & Grime Artists like Tinie Tempah, Chipmunk, Skepta, Scorcher & Staplehouse, Bashy, Mo Ali & Goldielocks.
Pistache released it's first UK hip hop mixtape 'Beats'n'Rhymes Vol.1' mixed by DJ IQ. The mixtape features UK hip hop artists Yungun, Klashnekoff, Harry Love, Mr Thing, Kyza, Asaviour, Braintax, Lowkey, Blade, Doc Brown, Tommy Evans, Reveal, Stylah, Yogi, Rukus, Ty, Verb T, Confuscius, Eric Lau, Genesis Elijah, L Roneous, DJ IQ, Kashmere, Mr Tibbs, Devise, Infinite Potential, Amber MC, Twisted Link, Wordsmith, GTA, Brotherman & Solisai as well as US Hip Hop legends KRS1, Chuck D & Immortal Technique...... Vol.1 is still available to download or buy on CD from the Pistache Online Store. Look out for exclusive new releases in the 'Pistache Presents' series.
The Pistache Boys do almost all of the design work themselves, but sometimes they collaborate with underground graffiti writers & graphic designers like Board Chicks & Lady Luck to help keep the designs fresh. Pistache Clothing also has it's own Extreme Sports Team featuring Karl Frampton, Marco Vicari, Sebastien Lopez, Eugene Tollemache & Louis Selby.
Pistache does very limited collections for independent urban & hip hop retailers in the USA, Japan, France, Spain & Belgium, but their main focus is online, forming direct relationships with their customers & providing them with the ability to get involved & fully customize all aspects of their clothing.

The Pistache Boys are making their lives, and the brand, even more eco-friendly by growing a sustainable Paulownia Plantation on 4.5 acres of disused agricultural land. The O2 produced by the Paulownia trees should more than offset the CO2 produced from shipping Pistache orders worldwide.
Following the blueprints laid down by the original Streetwear Kings like Stussy & Fresh Jive, Pistache is flowing in the veins of different subcultures from UK Hip Hop to Graffiti & from Grime to Skateboarding. The Pistache Boys are sticking to their mission to produce the best quality t-shirts, graffiti caps, skateboards & mixtapes with minimum impact on the environment & maximum impact when you wear them.

Hip Hop Clothing, Graffiti Clothing, Urban Clothing, Streetwear, whatever you want to call it, we call it Pistache...

A Short History of Everything Pistache....

Pistache Clothing Ltd was established in 2003 in London, by brothers Nick Bennett (screen printing graduate) & Jamie Bennett (marketing graduate). Since then, Pistache has been dedicated to it's mission - providing the best quality Streetwear Apparel for today's youth.

Pistache stands for Quality Screen Printing by Hand, Innovative & Artistic Design, Durable Construction and Limited Edition.

The brand has clothed artists from the UK & US Hip Hop scenes, such as Yungun, DJ Vadim, Yarah Bravo, Mr Thing, Asaviour, DJ Excalibah, Nigel NK, Harry Love, MC Wrec, The Infadels, Soweto Kinch, Tommy Evans, Verb T, DJ IQ & GTA.

Pistache also has it's own Skate & Surf Team of underground boardriders, Marco Vicari, Karl Frampton, Eugene Tollemache & Louis Selby. Collaborations with underground artists like Nature323, Board-Chicks, Lady Luck & Daz have kept the designs fresh.

Pistache quickly adapted to the global market and established relationships with independent retailers in the USA, Japan, France, Spain & Belgium. However, Pistache's main focus has always been Online Retailing, forming direct relationships with customers & providing them with the ability to fully customize all aspects of their clothing.

Pistache is making the brand even more eco-friendly by growing a sustainable Paulownia Plantation on 4.5 acres of disused agricultural land. The O2 produced should more than offset the CO2 produced from manufacturing and shipping their t-shirts worldwide.

Following in the footsteps of brands like Stussy & Fresh Jive, Pistache is now one of the hottest brands in the Streetwear Scene & present in many different subcultures, but it's sticking to the core ideals of it's original mission.
