Daily Paper is a brand of clothing that is inspired by African artistry.

Overview

The company was founded by three friends, Hussein Suleiman, Jefferson Osei and Abderrahmane Trabsini, of Somali, Ghanaian, and Moroccan descent, respectively.[1] In the beginning the trio set up a blog whereby they occasionally sold t-shirts bearing their logo. The company subsequently grew and amplified into a major trendsetter.[2] Although the blog was running in 2008, the company was founded in 2010 and established in 2012.[3]

In 2015 they released a women's clothing parallel.[4] They particularly derived their design ideas from scenery in Congo[5] and other sub-Saharan African regions.[6] In the same year, they branched out to diversify from casual wear to athletic and sportswear.[7] In May 2015 they began releasing limited edition silhouette jackets.[8][9]
