Kaymito Studios originated from Canada. The word “Kaymito” comes from a Filipino dialect meaning “Star Apple”. Inspiration for the brand name comes from a street name called “Kaimito” located in Manila, Philippines. Founded by Samnit Ghai who gave life to his brand after spending a majority of his childhood in the Philippines. During his time in Manila many obstacles were thrown his way, giving him no choice but to adapt to all changes around him. All these sudden changes forced him to become the best version of himself, and open an opportunity to a better mindset. This new version of himself mixed with his love for clothing brought Kaymito to life.

Growing up I struggled with identity - growing up in a world failed by our educational system, capitalist greed dominating values, massive ignorance, and bloodline traumas I was only beginning to acknowledge. I was lost, lacking love of self.
I was always different but I tried to belong.
I never would.
Now, I never want to.
“Chiefin” an upcycled indigenous T transformed into my first ever custom jean jacket, and along with my oldest child the Jean jacket crew was established.
As I grew, I read and read indigenous literature and all forms of storytelling I could find to learn the complex indigenous history of these lands and began moving closer to self-love, self-awareness and a sense of pride in my identity. This love of self and a love for fashion began to grow together. As Nehiyaw [cree] people we have always represented ourselves uniquely in our dress; if you study the archives you can see how stunning indigenous fashion truly is. Clothing is always an extension of who you are, and the story you are telling.
With mobilize I hope to be able to create street style which brings representation for indigenous peoples, empowers, educate, elevates, and helps others find identity.
Crash the system.
For the people.
For the culture.

Derks Formals and Menswear was founded in 1939 in Čakovec, Croatia by Stephen Derk. In 1946, Stephen and his family immigrated to Canada and began offering Western Canadian men choices for their clothing needs. Since that time, Derks has become an icon in the formal wear industry and one of Western Canada’s wholesale and retail success stories. Much of that success has been based on building relationships with staff, suppliers, the community, and most importantly, clients.
