That's my dream, my vision for this store. Create a retail shop that sells unique, inventive and ultra stylish apparel that relates to others like me. 

Growing up as a Mexican American born in Orange County and raised in Riverside, I was introduced to all types of styles from the Zoot suite of 1950's, the Hippie era, the crazy 80's and 90's and my own era, the 2000's to now. I was always a kid (and now an adult) who loved to mix-n-match my clothes but never felt like I had a 'style' to go with it... my brother would make fun of me because of the way I dressed, calling me 'Chipster' - a Cholo-Hipster. What he didn't know is that teasing would someday become the vision for my store. 

Established Ink is for anyone who loves fashion with an edge, who loves the Chicano culture and heritage and all the different styles we grew up with either in our families and communities or on TV or film. I want this to be a place where I share my designs, create custom designs for you, and together we can make 'Chicano Hipster' a trend that will be around for the history books. - Santiago Angel, Creator/Owner, EST INK.
