About

1253 is a Oakland-based brand that proudly offers two distinct apparel lines: Baywear and B.P. Mantra.  In addition to our unique apparel, 1253 offers a curated collection of canvas prints and blotter art sheets, each crafted with a bold, creative edge. Our mission is to help you bring a personal touch of Bay Area flair into your wardrobe or home, adding that funk that sets us apart from the rest. Here in the Bay we a little different and we want you to wear and display that vibe.

What sets 1253 apart is that it's a one-man operation with a dedication to quality and curation, no drop-shipping going on here. The picture above is literally 2 feet from my bed where I Dream but don't sleep.

Baywear: Draws inspiration from the region's historic culture and urban vibes, capturing the essence of local landmarks, street art, and the vibrant energy of the Bay Area.

B.P.Mantra: Taps into music and aesthetic that resonate with those who live and breathe music. The B.p.mantra name is a play on the acronym b.p.m (beats per minute)
