About Straatman

The Story Behind Straatman

Straatman isn’t just a brand to me it’s a reflection of everything I’ve always wanted to see in streetwear. It started with a simple idea during one of my classes: to create something real, something that goes beyond fashion and becomes a platform for creativity, self-expression, and the raw energy of street culture. What began as a dream during class hours has turned into reality, and also aiming towards something much bigger, a community for young creatives to find inspiration and connect.

Where It All Began

Straatman originates from the streets, plain and simple. To me, the streets are where creativity comes alive and where boundaries disappear, a place where people tell stories without even saying a word. That’s what inspired me to build this brand: something raw, honest, and grounded in the lives of students, artists, and creators who live this every day.

What Straatman Stands For

For me, Straatman is about more than just clothes, it’s about connection. Every piece I create carries a story in it's own unique way, from the hand-designed prints to the subtle details and logos. It’s my way of showing people that while we’re all unique, we’re also connected.

I’ve made it a priority to focus on quality and authenticity. That’s why we use materials like organic cotton, because I want every product to not only feel good but to stand for something real.

The Vision I’m Building

Straatman is so much more than a clothing brand to me, it’s a dream to create a community! I want to collaborate with other creatives, host events that inspire new ideas, and even open spaces where people can come together and create something bigger than themselves.

For me, Straatman isn’t just about fashion; it’s about building a movement where style, art, and individuality collide. This is just the beginning.
