Raekwon x Descendant of Thieves

The brand partnership between Raekwon, a legendary member of the Wu-Tang Clan, and Descendant of Thieves feels like it was written. It’s a story rooted in shared values, mutual respect, and an unrelenting drive for mastery of craft.

It all started when style icon Cynamin Jones walked into our Mulberry Street store in NYC. She immediately connected with our ethos of crafting small batches for those who stand apart. She admired our defiance of mass market and our commitment to authenticity. With golden-era hip-hop instrumentals spinning on vinyl, the conversation naturally turned to music. We shared our top five, dead or alive, and when Raekwon’s name came up, Cynamin revealed her close friendship with him. She immediately saw the connection, saying, “You have to meet. Rae’s philosophy and the brand’s ethos align perfectly.”

That meeting marked the beginning of a partnership rooted in authenticity. Raekwon, widely regarded as hip-hop royalty and known for his legendary influence on music and culture, is highly selective about the brands he wears. His choice to embrace Descendant of Thieves speaks volumes about our shared alignment of principles and purpose.

Just as The Chef elevated hip-hop with his mastery, we aim to redefine fashion with small-batch production, weekly Fresh Friday releases, and forging our path with designs that make you the most interesting person in the room. This mesh of minds isn’t just about style; it’s about honoring artistry in all forms: music, fashion, and beyond. This is chapter one… stay tuned.
