DGRAVE began in 2013 as an independent Filipino apparel label focused on original streetwear rather than fast fashion. While the company has not publicly released a detailed corporate history, its branding consistently emphasizes handcrafted graphics, original concepts, and locally developed apparel instead of mass-produced designs.

According to the brand’s official product pages, DGRAVE has been “Crafting Since 2013.” [1]
