History

Although Kruwear was born, raised and made with love in the “Windy City”, the City of Chicago, its roots originate from the founder, Charles Mombo, Kru Tribe of Liberia. The Kru tribe is from the coastal southeastern part of Liberia. This tribe is best known for refusing to be captured into enslavement. History teaches that the Kru people were viewed as less valuable during the barbaric transatlantic slave trafficking; because, they refused to allow themselves to be captured by European enslavers. To avoid being captured into slavery, they would fight fiercely. As a very last resort they would commit suicide and die with the dignity of free men.

 “…But perhaps most of all, wearing a bow tie is a way of broadcasting an aggressive lack of concern for what other people think,”  Justin Timberlake.

When it comes to menswear, we do have an aggressive lack of concern for what other people think. We are not afraid to break some fashion rules. This is why we play around with patterns, colors, shapes and other complementing accessories.
