Whats the purpose behind yo brand. How did the name come to mind?
-To provide a streetwear brand from our perspective. Using designs that are simple and take on a satirical approach. Before the brand was formally established, Courtney would do custom tees and they would often include the word "dope" somewhere. So, it just stuck. It made sense to use that as the company name.
