The history of
ToupToup
Welcome to ToupToup,
Expect strange creatures and wild colors!
​
ToupToup is a crazy idea made by Dutch designer Douwe Nieboer a.k.a. Dahlee.
He started his creative life as the producer Planet Monkey and as such released a couple of beattape style cd's and a funky album on vinyl! The album sold out and has a repress that's still for sale in the webshop. Nowadays he is the producer for a dutch hiphop crew named WadAap. Their merch is also available trough the webshop.
​
While making music he was looking for another creative outlet and started painting. Mostly characters on canvas but after a while also started printing his paintings on shirts.
It's ToupToup time...
Nowadays ToupToup has a thriving webstore and focusses mainly on custom orders. From vehicles to waterbottles, anything that can be painted, will be painted.
Next to the custom orders a big part of the webstore is dedicated to sustainable clothing. Tshirts, hoodies, and even leggings, all made with organic cotton or recycled material. The African fabric used on most pieces is bought trough a beautifull project in .... that helps women to learn sewing. (facebook link)
The future is Toups
More clothing, more custom artwork and more much more colors! Expecting to release the new collection in the spring of 2024
