ABOUT

Contra Kids Mutiny (CKM) is an independent clothing brand, spearheaded by a small group of free-thinking, cross-cultural creatives. It was born from a deep passion for art, apparel, street culture and graphic design, fueled by humanist values.

We champion the underdog, along with social justice and counter-culture through irreverent graphics and a focus on high-quality apparel.

Our design philosophy is rooted in underground subcultures, including 90s-inspired aesthetics, and is guided by an anti-establishment DIY ethos. We believe deeply in the power of ordinary people—and a new, informed generation full of dynamic potential—to create a better world.

This commitment drives everything we do, from our designs to our future collaborative aspirations.

We will be announcing exciting brand partnerships and collaborations on the road ahead, along with the release of limited-edition fundraising garments that support social causes. All net proceeds from these pieces will go directly to carefully selected charities that align with our core values.

WHY CKM?

We started Contra Kids Mutiny because we were fed up with the lack of conviction and humanist values evident in much of the apparel space. 

Occasionally, brands we still love today would release a t-shirt or garment that spoke to more meaningful real-world issues, but those pieces were usually the exception—not the rule.

We saw meaningful single-issue focus (such as the environment), or the rare social justice brand that felt overly didactic and dry. What was missing was a subversive, humanist brand—one that could not only be committed to social change through its collaborations and partnerships but also convey these values through its fresh, subversive aesthetic.

We realized if we couldn't find a clothing brand that embodied this irreverent stance at such a critical global moment, we had to build it ourselves.

We’re committed to causing good trouble—for the greater good.

OUR COMMITMENT TO PEOPLE & PLANET

We are committed to caring for the Earth and its ecosystems at every stage of production, from eco-friendly, water-based inks to ethically sourced, sustainable garments. Our printing process and inks produce significantly fewer VOC emissions compared to conventional methods, as well as minimizing waste and our overall environmental impact.

We prioritize garments that are made from sustainable materials and produced under fair and ethical labor practices. By making these choices, we support both the planet and the people contributing to our brand. We believe in fostering meaningful change for both the environment and the human beings who walk with us on this journey.
 
 
 
A NOTE ON OUR LOGO

Our first drop features the original 3D prototype logo for CKM on the inside neck labels, reflecting our creative roots. We’ve since evolved to a modern flat logo design that embodies the bold, rebellious misfit energy of the brand—capturing the youthful and dynamic spirit that defines us. This new logo will be featured in all future collections moving forward.
