Korrupt Label is a small retail apparel brand based in West Oakland, California, founded in 2006 by Henry Miyoshi. The company designs and produces deconstructed t-shirts and hoodies that incorporate layered text, images, and patches, often created through collage and paste-up methods, with attention to distressed, dyed, or altered fabric finishes. Its products emphasize one-of-a-kind, DIY-style details such as sewn-on patches and hand-crafted embellishments, offering wearable pieces that reflect a punk rock, handmade ethos. Targeting customers who value distinctive, textural streetwear and upcycled aesthetics, Korrupt Label distributes through local Bay Area shows, regional retailers, and its own website, serving both wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels. The business operates within the retail apparel and fashion industry, positioning itself as a niche label that foregrounds custom design, artisanal techniques, and limited-edition appeal while maintaining a small, locally rooted operation. Recent activity includes ongoing engagement with the local fashion community and maintaining a presence at its physical location and online platforms.
