T Galleria by DFS has collaborated with Saipan’s premier clothing brand, Tribe Marianas, in the launch of an exciting new collection of local, urban street wear.
Tribe Marianas, founded in the Mariana Islands, aims to share the islands’ unique culture worldwide through their original designs, attention to detail and inspiration drawn from their island home.
This collaboration is an ongoing effort to engage island visitors and the community in what is authentic to the Northern Marianas. The collection which features 12 original designs of apparel pieces, is inspired by the brand’s mission to promote the region, and bridge the gap across the 15 Mariana Islands, hence their motto: Divided by tide, united by pride.
Milan Rabold, general manager T Galleria by DFS, Saipan said, “We are excited to partner with Tribe Marianas to introduce this new collection in our stores. It truly depicts the spirit and culture of our islands, both to the local community and to those who visit us from around the world. Showcasing one of Saipan’s premier brands is yet another great milestone in DFS’ history. We value our commitment to the people and the islands of the Northern Marianas that we proudly serve.”
Brand designer Rob Travilla said, “It is a dream come true to collaborate with T Galleria by DFS. We truly believe that this collaboration is monumental for the CNMI as it will bring together the concepts of urban street wear and luxury goods. Growing up on Saipan, DFS has always been a shopping staple that we looked up to. Being a small company from a tiny island, it is an honor to partner with a global brand like DFS.”
This exclusive collection, depicting the talents of some of Saipan’s best, can only be found at T Galleria in Garapan, the DFS Saipan Airport store, and at the DFS Galleria-Kanoa Resort. (PR)
