What to know about Trapstar

Grew from custom tees outward

Three childhood friends started by customising T-shirts in West London and sold via pop-ups, building their own distribution before any outside backing.

Logos do the talking

The gothic "IT'S A SECRET" and Irongate marks carry the range, printed across graphic tees, hooded puffers and tracksuits rather than hidden away.

Rooted in UK rap culture

The label is tied to grime and garage scenes, has had Roc Nation backing since 2013, and stays founder-led with co-signs from Rihanna, Stormzy and A$AP Rocky.
