Paper Straight is a modern clothing label from Amsterdam, shaped by today’s cultural movements, from hiphop to design, from skate to street photography.

We make streetwear for grownups, blending bold silhouettes with functional workwear aesthetics, inspired by icons like Pharrell Williams, who bridges music, design and community, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose raw artistic vision still shapes modern expression.

Our pieces are made to last worn with oversized denim, under a hoodie, or styled sharp with a clean pair of Derbys.

Where the name comes from
The name Paper Straight is inspired by Brent Faiyaz’ track “Been Away”, a song about the tension between chasing success (“paper”) and staying true (“straight”).

It reflects our mindset: build your future, stay grounded, and never lose yourself in the process.
