What kind of products does Swag Supply specialize in?<\/h3>\n

Urban Streetwear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did Swag Supply get into this business?<\/h3>\n
Swag Supply started because I felt like many Streetwear brand where not paying enough attention<\/div>\n
to detail and quality and I wanted to create a brand that stood behind<\/div>\n
these two principles.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

An Astronaut.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a clothing brand where does Swag Supply get inspiration for designs?,\u00a0What kind of thought process goes into your collection?<\/h3>\n
\n
The inspiration for our designs comes from what we like and what we<\/div>\n
think is something no one else has done. When we design a collection<\/div>\n
we want our fans to enjoy the pieces we create as much as we do. With<\/div>\n
that in mind we always try and create fun designs that our fans will<\/div>\n
\n

enjoy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How does Swag Supply feel about “Brand Jacking” where a brand mimics the\u00a0designs of another brand?<\/h3>\n
I feel that “Brand Jacking” is something that is going to happen no<\/div>\n
matter where you look in fashion but at the end of the day being<\/div>\n
unique, and different, and still putting out a good product should<\/div>\n
always be the goal.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

How did you come up with the name for your ‘Swag Supply’? What does it mean\u00a0or stand for?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The word SWAG in our brand name was meant to stand for clothing or<\/div>\n
items. In essence it was suppose to mean that our fans where getting<\/div>\n
supplied with unique clothing. To many though the word SWAG means many<\/div>\n
other things.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the explosion of social media, what does Swag Supply do to build\u00a0brand exposure?<\/h3>\n

What social network is most important to your Swag Supply?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
We use Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter. By far though<\/div>\n
Instagram is hands down the most important exposure for our brand.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0What is one style from the past that you wish was still popular?<\/h3>\n
Popular old fashion trends are slowly on the come up, but it’s hard<\/div>\n
to say.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a current trend that you cannot stand?<\/h3>\n

Leather Pants<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Snapback or Fitteds?\u00a0Low tops or High Tops?\u00a0Why?<\/h3>\n
Snapback. I prefer Snapbacks because Fitted have never fit me well<\/div>\n
personally.<\/div>\n
High Tops. Personally more appealing and comfortable.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on todays street wear scene?<\/h3>\n
I think that there are a lot of brands trying to compete now a days<\/div>\n
in the street wear scene which is a good and bad thing. I think<\/div>\n
overall though that the scene has gotten better.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What do you see for the future of this industry?<\/h3>\n
\n
The future in this industry will be a whole lot more competitive<\/div>\n
considering the impact that social media has in this industry.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is one of the best things about being in this industry?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
You are able to see the creativity of so many other brands that are<\/div>\n
doing things to correct way right now. You are also able to<\/div>\n
collaborate with many other talented people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is one of the worst things about this industry?<\/h3>\n
Once you hit it big, At Swag Supply, we feel like bigger companies forget they once<\/div>\n
were a small company that struggled to come up. Companies in this<\/div>\n
industry don’t give you more than what you pay for.<\/div>\n
