about ARBOL
The clothing line was born in 2016 by Joseph Schrunk. It started as a “bedroom bigcartel brand” inspired by streetwear giants at the time. The first items designed were graphic t-shirts all featuring illustrations by Schrunk. Later the brand would introduce repurposed and upcycled designs like split jeans and denim side bags. Around the summer of 2020 ARBOL would start experimenting with denim on denim hand sewn applique style designs and this would soon become the brands main idea.
The ethos of ARBOL productions is to save the earth. Care for the earth. Love the earth. This is why most things are one-of-one and everything is sourced second hand when possible.
ARBOL was founded in the Texas hillcountry and you can see that inspiration speaking through the designs. Like many kids who grew up in small towns, Schrunk flocked to the city as quickly as possible. ARBOL was based out of Austin, Texas from 2020 - 2024. As of January 2025 ARBOL is currently living and working in Los Angeles out of a home studio.
Right now ARBOL is leaning into hand drawn t-shirts, custom screen printed garments, and is still working on new denim designs daily.
