Stray Rats

About Stray Rats

Stray Rats began in 2010, founded by Miami native Julian Consuerga. The label takes a buffet-style approach to youth culture, sampling from hardcore punk, hip-hop, high fashion and graphic design and reworking them through a digital age lens. That mix is what the label is built on: a way of making sense of the waves and trends that have shaped the 2010s. You can find Stray Rats at Bows and Arrows in Berkeley, where the label has its own collection, and through The Dark Side Initiative, a shop selling imported and domestic clothing and sneakers. It suits anyone who likes their clothes to have a story behind them, and who enjoys hunting for something a little different.
