Chrome Clothing, Fashions for both

Chrome manufactures weatherproof messenger bags, DJ bags and shoulder bags designed for the long haul. For years Chrome messenger bags, DJ bags and shoulder bags have been overstuffed with vinyl, crashed, smashed, trashed and slung recklessly worldwide by couriers, DJs and others in the know. In the summer of 1993 college friends Mark Falvai and Doug Hudson went on a road trip with the simple goal of riding the best mountain bike trails and surfing the best waves in North America . At some point during the trip the idea for Chrome emerged: start a company that makes clothing and gear for people that didn''t want to ride around in shiny tight clothes but did want the functionality of high tech gear. Chrome emerged from a basement two years later and moved thirty miles away to a large warehouse in downtown Denver , where a full sized half pipe and a good sound system helped keep things in perspective after a busy day''s work. As the business continued to grow messenger bag, DJ bag and shoulder bag sales skyrocketed and the decision was made to devote all of their energy exclusively to bags. In 2002, Chrome relocated to the SOMA area of San Francisco . Shortly after arriving they opened their first retail store chock full of messenger bags, DJ bags and shoulder bags at the corner of 7th and Folsom. San Francisco ''s size, location and overall amazing quality of life allowed Chrome to continue to grow and refine the bag line. More importantly, however, now the Chrome guys could go for a ride and a surf all in the same day. FYI, they don''t take a messenger bag surfing.
