ABOUT BANKS GARAGE

 

FOR THE MODERN-DAY VINTAGE ENTHUSIAST 

 

 

Banks Garage is the brainchild of Leo Rusher, an idea that grew from a love of fashion and sneaker culture.

Being exposed to industry-leading brands, through sneaker, skate, and surf cultures from a young age built a foundation for Leo's personal style and entry into the world of fashion. A conscious mindset towards sustainable business solutions and his appreciation for fashion and all its subcultures are what fuels Leo's forever mission to serve the modern-day vintage enthusiast. 

Every Banks Garage item has been hand-selected and carefully curated to emphasize every vintage garment's authenticity, craft, and style to deliver unique collections to you.
