Cocaine Cowboys

Okay, buckle your seat belts for this next menswear label!

Reportedly, the 3 Ricardo Dángelo brothers grew up in the slums of Medellin, the 2nd largest city in Columbia, going on to found the Mali cartel.

It all started in the year 1983. One thing was on everyone’s mind and there was one man behind it all: the Cocaine Cowboy!

At that time, Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar (1949-1993) was at the height of his career. Once a poor farmer, he rose quickly to power, fame, and notoriety through crime and corruption.

Inspired by the original Cocaine Cowboy, the 3 brothers decided to pave their own road to success through a label—the Cocaine Cowboys.

They soon left their home in Medellin and set out to conquer the world with their revolutionary designs.

Based in Berlin, Germany, Cocaine Cowboy adheres to one philosophy concerning their designs:

They are Cocaine!
They make you feel great;
They make you addictive;
They are wanted by everybody;
They are hated by day;
They are loved by night;
They are expensive, but they are worth it!
