Trapstar London was founded in 2008 by friends Mikey, Lee, and Will in West London. The brand began as a grassroots streetwear label, selling T-shirts and hoodies directly from the founders' car trunks and pop-up shops. What started as a small, underground operation quickly gained traction through word of mouth and co-signs from influential artists in the UK grime and hip-hop scenes. The brand's rebellious aesthetic and strong ties to urban culture helped it carve out a unique identity in the British fashion landscape.
