Daily Paper is an Amsterdam-based menswear and womenswear fashion brand established in 2012.

Overview

The company was founded by three friends, Hussein Suleiman, Jefferson Osei, and Abderrahmane Trabsini.[1] In the beginning, the trio set up a blog where they occasionally sold T-shirts bearing their logo. The company subsequently grew from there.[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 derived design ideas from scenery in Somalia[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]
