ABOUT US

We are Tangerine + Guava and we are well versed in the fun and rigors of finding unique affordable fashion in a city where fashion is a lifestyle. Our influence and artistic inspiration comes from the hoods of New York City. Washington Heights to be exact! A place where a pair of Air Jordans are considered assets and general welfare liabilities.

Located near the uppermost part of Manhattan and represented by a sea of foreign flags, Washington Heights offers cultural diversity and a very particular uniqueness. Our designs and creations offer the same.   

We've been around for many fashion movements. The wife-beater era, the long tee obsession, the evolution of neon colors that slowly faded into metro style, and then printed t-shirts. We’ve been around for it all. As New Yorkers, we tell you that being stylish in the hood is a must. Being fashionable in New York City is an obligation! We know the streets and we are constantly watching for new styles and trends so that our art and apparel match the times. We also wear Air Jordans, but now we know when to put them away.

 

Born and raised in a city of roughly 9 million people. How do we stand out?

By being our most authentic selves.

 

We’re from a culture that wears colors like bright orange on glooming days and purple when the sun shines. We mix and match colors to the point that it does not make sense.  We’re just two humans with an imagination and a zest for life, fun, and colors. We bring you our ideas, as best we can, in the form of art on clothes, backpacks, umbrellas, mugs, streetwear, and so much more.

 

Actual life events inspire us. 

 

We bring you our color palettes, our daily mantras, some of our energy (we need the rest for creativity), and our infinite uniqueness—something you will only find here on Tangerine + Guava.

 

So, friends, feel free to have a look around, maybe find something you like, buy it for yourself if you can.  If not, support is support in any way, and we genuinely hope our creativity inspires you to live your best life today and every day. 

 

We promise to give you art that will be unique to us and incredibly unique to you. Because that’s how we like it, and we hope you do too.  

With Love,

Tangerine + Guava
