HUF-founder Keith Hufnagel grew up skateboarding in the gritty streets of New York City's late-80s. In those days, skateboarding was simply not accepted: it was punk rock, it was hip-hop, it was a counterculture of outcasts misunderstood by the masses.
In 1992, Hufnagel moved to San Francisco to pursue his passion of skateboarding. He turned professional soon after, providing him a rare and rewarding opportunity to travel the world by means of his skateboard and the industry that supported him. Brought up by the very 'do-it-yourself' approach that came along with skateboarding, Hufnagel saw an opportunity to give back to that same community which had raised him, and opened a small boutique on an offbeat block of San Francisco's Tenderloin District, the first of its kind. Its aim: to bring together under one roof the most respected brands that the skateboard, streetwear, and sneaker communities had to offer. He named the shop HUF, and it quickly came to be recognized as the Bay Area's premier purveyor of hard-to-comeby goods.

The Berlin based Dudes Factory was founded in 2010 by good friends with a common goal of building a brand that would allow them to develop their own creative interests and lifestyle. Through collaborations with many artists over the years they found the ideal collaborative partnership with the artist mcbess. The Dudes decided to join forces with mcbess and he came onboard as a co-owner of the company. Since then mcbess has been instrumental to developing the brands aesthetic with his signature style.
The core ideal of The Dudes is to keep the creative process fresh, fun and relevant to their lifestyles which combines art, music, the culinary arts and a huge range of other subcultures like skateboarding, tattoos and graffiti all seamlessly merged into the unique brand that it is today.
Wemoto is a creative studio, run by Stefan Golz and Patrick Lotz as a company of friends with the same interests and mind sets. Coming from skate, music and street culture, our mental influence was and always will be the understanding and interaction between people. We set out to be a lifestyle brand that mixes subcultures combined with fashionable designs to create products that serve the global youth culture.
Since the beginning, Wemoto never followed the path of usual practices of the fashion industry. We always had our own pace and rhythm and are launching our ideas twice a year plus some pop up projects we love to release from time to time.
We only produce what has been ordered by our customers and cover our own needs with the necessary quantity. This way we avoid unnecessary overproduction which does not find any takers at the end of a season. Our collections also have always built on one another and, even if they come from different seasons, can be combined very well.
