In 2014, BAKYARDER was founded by an Asian American designer who had traveled to dozens of countries. This experience profoundly influenced his cultural background and the core philosophy of the brand. BAKYARDER seamlessly blends elements of Eastern and Western cultures, creating a unique cultural fusion that allows it to resonate with various subcultures and offer a distinct form of self-expression and identity for young people.
BAKYARDER wholeheartedly embraces diversity and inclusivity, conveying these values to consumers through its unique design concepts. BAKYARDER revolves around integrating street elements from different cultures into mainstream fashion. These elements can be traced back to the founder's experiences during his travels in Asia, including skateboarding culture, graffiti art, hip-hop, and street dance.

The symbol of BAKYARDER is a portable outdoor chair, and it represents more than just a logo. It carries the founder's cherished childhood memories. After years of traveling the world, the founder often reminisces about the carefree moments spent with friends, skateboarding, and then relaxing on comfortable chairs in his grandmother's backyard. It was a feeling of relaxation, comfort, and warmth, which inspired the establishment of the BAKYARDER street leisurewear brand upon returning to the United States. BAKYARDER, in its pursuit of personalized streetwear, also strives to provide young people with the same level of comfort, allowing them to feel at home no matter where they are.
Our Mission
"Blending Individuality with Comfortable Streetwear"
The chair logo is not only a symbol but also a tribute to the founder's fond memories. It conveys BAKYARDER's mission to offer fashionable yet comfortable streetwear to young people, which is at the core of the brand's philosophy. BAKYARDER encourages young individuals to create their own energy, face life's unknown challenges with courage, and always maintain a sense of comfort and warmth.
Helping Those in Need
During the founder's travels around the world, he visited many impoverished areas where children with a strong interest in street culture faced limited opportunities. In places where even basic necessities like food and clothing were scarce, dreams often remained unattainable, and passion faded away. We firmly believe that there is always more we can do to improve the world, and with your help, we can make an impact. For every purchase you make, we donate $7 from the sale of each item to children in need. BAKYARDER has partnered with a non-profit organization committed to helping children in need. Our goal is to help children worldwide escape poverty and provide them with opportunities to explore and embrace different cultures while pursuing their passions.
Let's change lives together and redefine traditional boundaries. BAKYARDER stands for high standards of craftsmanship, authenticity, and originality. Check out our unique designs today, and together, we'll make a positive impact on the world!
