on the pleasures story ...
PLEASURES creates wearable expressions for personal use. We wanted to create a brand that spoke to weirdos, goth kids, emo thugs, punk rockers, and people who feel rejected from society. PLEASURES is a platform about exploration and inclusivity. Everyone is welcome.

on major influences and inspirations ...
Half of the brand has roots in east coast punk and hardcore scene while the other half has roots in west coast metal mixed with rave and house. Other inspirations include consistent travel and interior design.

on staying true ...
We create what we want and don’t pay attention to trends. If you put your heart into what you do, people will respond.

on the current collection ...
The current collection is based on the exploration of a persons life cycle. Life to death and everything in between.
